Hello There :)

Ive just recently Genuined my Windows as i thought WMP Was to blame about my slowness

But ive downloaded WMP 11 and yet it still does it:

What happens is, when either i try to watch a video On WMP its Lags My Computer to an unreal amount, i try and press Alt + Tab to change window, but this comes up very slow and bit by bit loads.

Also when i even try to do anything with Videos it does this. For Example. On MSN Messenger sometimes i accidently press Alt + C and this comes up with something also to do with Video

I Cant remember this happening before my New GFX Card

Nvidia geforce 7600 i think

Any Ideas Anyone??

Thanks

Kaos.

How did you do that?

I know you were having trouble with your installation previously so can you tell us how you made your Windows version genuine?

Do you know for certain that it is properly installed without any malware?

I've deleted the email address you placed here. It is never wise to put email addresses on public forums like this - unscrupulous people use bots to search them out and use them for scamming. You can always use the forum PM system to contact people if necessary but, this should be done by invitation from the person you are contacting.

Thanks

I would assume a driver (more likely) or Windows library file is causing it. From what I know VLC uses a mostly free codecs included with it so it can't be anything like that or with Windows being genuine. I'm guessing it happens with any format of video. What about audio? If not audio it could be a video driver. If audio is affected I would shutdown any antimalware/firewall and try to play a video. Then run the system file checker (Start, Run, type "sfc /scannow" -may need the Windows cd). That all I can think of.

Kaos.

(btw Prox + kaos are both difff names for me, idk why i keep saying diff ones ><)

This exact problem is happening to me after I purchased a new motherboard and processor combo...Let me post my specs..Please help!

Biostar Geforce 6100-M9 NVIDIA Socket 939 MicroATX Motherboard and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz OEM Processor

My friend who is a networker told me to update all the motherboard drivers..so I did but it didn't help.

This has been an issue since the clean install i did when I installed my new board

I have AVG anti virus, spysweeper (full version) and my firewall is zone alarm... i havent downloaded the drivers for my soundblaster X-FI Elite pro yet...but i never had problems playing video with the same stuff I have now on a cheaper mobo and slower processor

is it maybe because this new board holds 4 gig and I have only 1.5? Should I download a codec package? Any suggestions. Everything works get until I play a video. It is so frustrating.

Any help would be greatful!

A Codec pack like K-Lite Codec Pack (not associated with Kazaa) should help you, Big Trag.

It may also help you, Kaos.

You can download the latest version here -> http://www.filehippo.com/download_klite_codec_pack/

Another thing you BOTH will want to check, is that your DirectX is the latest version. http://www.microsoft.com/directx

ok I downloaded both things and I also download spybot and ran it...the video when played seems kind of better but when I stream higher videos it still freezes...or when the video is played and its higher quality it freezes

any other suggestions?

you think it could be a ram issue? I mean I never had an issue on my old mobo that held 2 gigs and I had 1.5 but this new one holds 4 and I still use 1.5
