Need help with video problem Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I just formatted my HD, reinstalled WinXP yesterday. I have only installed SimCity 4, DivX, Tv-Tool 5.5 and Winamp

The problem is:

Whenever I watch movies on the computer, it lags. There's no problems with the sound, but it has a low framerate...

I've got a:

P4 2.4 GHz
1 gb DDR PC2700 ram
lots of HD space... and fast HDs

The problem is also when viewing movie-files from cd, and my cd-drives are fast also...



Does anyone have any clue what's wrong here? It's really annoying

Hmm....I may know what the problem is.
Simply send me the computer and I'll fix it for you.

I have tried:

BS-viewer
Windows Media Player (8 and 9)
Power DVD 4
DivX player (2.0 and 2.1)


This problem was the reason why I reinstalled Windows... I don't have all those players installed now though...

I just did a little test:

Having WinAmp open and a movie open, I still have about 800 mb ram free...

I haven't patched anything... it can't be msblaster, since I haven't downloaded anything new since the worm got out, and I haven't been to any new places... and I have had the same problem even before the worm got out...

Full PM-box? Change here!

What DVD app do you use? I rented one the other day and it came with this shitty player- it lagged the movie but you couldn't play it any other way
