Any help would be helpful. > > Thanks![/color] ============================== You might have better luck using the free VLC Media Player: VLC Media Player [url]http://www.videolan.org/[/url] And...it could be an issue with your video driver. If you reduce your Graphics Hardware Acceleration and see an improvement...it's a strong indication that your video driver needs and update. "No guarantees and proceed at your own risk." Windows Vista - How To Reduce Graphics Hardware Acceleration 1. Click Start, type personalization in the Start Search box, and then click Personalization in the Programs list. 2. Click Display Settings. 3. Click Advanced Settings. 4. Click the Troubleshooting tab, and then drag the Hardware Acceleration slider to the left until it is one notch to the right of None (the Basic acceleration setting). 5. Click OK, and then click Close. 6. If you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes. If the problem is improved...reinstall/ update your video driver. If the problem is not improved...return the acceleration to Full and seek a different solution. Good luck. -- John Inzer MS-MVP Digital Media Experience Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |
