If I right click on a video file to launch that menu, my screen goes
completely blank for about 1 second before comes back on. It's as if it has
to load something into memory. I have 2GB of RAM. It only happens on
Videos.

I ran into this (supposedly) fix but it did nothing:
****************************************
100% CPU usage when using Media Player/AVI files

AVI Search Remove (Line 74)

However, I don't think this file was updated to reflect the Windows XP
Registry.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks
