I have windows xpsp3.i have completely updated my computer,including the video card. my computer plays dvds fine and is crystal clear when i play them through windows media player. (media player 11).however,when im online looking at videos through UTube,or any other type of video player,including videos from cooliris,or just browsing cooliris,my video is choppy,or blurry. i use multiple browsers and have tried them all. none of them make a difference. i have google chrome (beta),which is the only google that can be used for cooliris,internet explorer 8,firefox,and lunascape 6.i cant understand why video works great on media player while playing videos and does not when playing any videos onlie. i have an (nvidia geforce mx 4000 ) it is updated. i also updated my directx version which is (9.0).

When I try to play video files the video will pause for a split second every few seconds and I don't know what the problem is. In fact my computer is running much slower than normal lately. I've gotton rid of unused programs, I've run SpyBot, and I've updated my video drivers.
i have a problem with audio on all internet buffers and it wasnt doing this before i tried installing the latest version of winamp 5.56. it gave me an error message saying the file was corrupted, allowing me to ignore, retry, or abort. i tried ignore and it gave me the message again so i just aborted. after that, any internet buffers have problems. for example, on Internet when watching videos, the video plays just fine, but the audio is choppy but still in sync with the video. video and sound will play for like 10 seconds and then the sound will cut out for 2 or 3 seconds only to come back still in sync with the video. i have the same issue with netflix and listening to online radio stations.
slowness, stalls and really choppy video and audio everywhere on my computer. even the start-up windows chime is all warbly and choppy. i have problems with video stored on my hd, played from a dvd, as well as video online on Internet and my smugmug page. i have not noticed anything in particular taking up a lot of memory in the task manager, but there are an awful lot of programs in there and some duplicates of system processes
here is what i have tried -removed all unused programs, files -de-fragged hd -ran disk cleanup -removed unneeded programs from start-up process -ran windows, qt, media player, java and flash updates -ran virus scanner and registry cleaner
here is what i am working with: -toshiba tecra a6 laptop, always plugged in to ac power -windows xp sp2 -intel cpu t1300 @ 1.66ghz -504 mb ram -23 gb free space of a 52gb hd -minimal programs - mostly office 2007, outlook express, nero and adobe plus some tiny insignificant ones like my harmony remote program -nortons 360 (though i have removed this and still have the problem)
i am pretty comfortable working my way around advanced settings on my laptop and know enough to know what i should not change without help.
Dell Inspiron 600m laptop. Intel Pentium M processor (1.8 GHz) and 2GB RAM. I have a Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics card.
I just recently reformatted my laptop and couldn't help but notice the horrible video playback. I did a few things such as installing DirectX, updating flash player, and unchecking all non-microsoft related startup processes (msconfig). My laptop sometimes does great and plays my game at 20-30 FPS, but then after a few minutes, the FPS drops to about 3. Same with watching videos. It's like looking at pictures really. Thats how bad the choppiness is.
So I decided to do some investigation and installed Process Explorer to look into detail. Turns out that under the System process, there is a thread called kmixer.sys which is a driver for a soundcard. This one thing has spikes in CPU usage up to 70% sometimes. Another thread to look at under Svchost is krnl or kernel something. Also uses quite a bit sometimes.
I wanted to see if anyone could possibly help me as I would greatly appreciate it. I looked at just about every forum there is about my problems, and still haven't gotten a solid solution yet.

I have been having this problem for a couple of days now. I was listening to music which had been skipping for a while but not to bad and suddenly everything froze. i killed winamp and hit pulled up the task mgr. cpu usage was staying around 100% different processes popping up to the top. i downloaded process explorer and it has a file highlighted in dark red wmiprvse.exe i read this could be a virus but i verifed it was in the correct folder. im running win xp media center edition with sp3. while looking at processes in the task mgr the system idle process is usually at the top of the list. my computer pretty much freezes up every few seconds now for a second or 2 and whenever i open any program it freezes up for a good minute or 2. Anything else ya'll might need to know feel free to ask. is there a way i could check if it is a hardware problem? this is a Hp pavillion laptop amd turion 1.99ghz 2gb ram. i have also tweaked xp to run faster by removing the themes among other things. I think thats the only thing saving me right now.
any hulu/Internet/etc. streaming content type videos, even on the lowest hd setting (288p, for ex.) just ends up being choppy, worst in full screen. here are my specs:
amd athlon xp 2600+ cpu 1.0 gig of ram pny geforce fx5200 256 mb pci graphics card windows xp home ed. w/sp3 160 gb hd
an older computer with an older processor, and if anything, it's probably the cpu that is preventing me from having normal playback with streaming content. i had a laptop with a core duo processor that worked fine with this type of video, but i fried it so i am stuck with this for now. haven't used this pc in a few years so now i am noticing it's limitations as far as this stuff goes. if anyone has had any luck with an older machine getting relatively normal playback with these streams. i have tried reducing hardware acceleration, drivers are fully updated for graphics card, hard drive is formatted so no viri are causing this, reinstalling flash, changing settings on monitor, and playback is the same.
Trouble watching video from one of my hard drives (XP). At first I thought it was a codec problem so I uninstalled and reinstalled the codecs but that never worked. Then I tried watching video on the other hard drive and no problem there.
I confirmed that its a hard drive problem when I tried to copy one of the files from the problematic hard drive, it showed 30mins left where it normally takes 1-2mins.
I checked to see if the channel was in PIO mode but all are in DMA.
No matter what program I'm using (word, excel, firefox) , when I type, my cursor freezes/stutters causing every fifth or sixth letter I type to not show up. When I hold down a directional arrow within text, the curser freezes for a second, maybe twenty letters along. I have Norton's and Spyware Doc running, but this still happens when I shut them off. I'm trying to figure out if there's something running that I don't know of that's causing this, because it's really annoying, I usually have to type and re-type passwords three or four times before all the letters show up.
When closing a an active box on my desktop, it is choppy and seems to close in about 4 stages..like a curtain going down very slowly. Also, if I move an active box on my desktop, it leaves a trail of maybe 15-20 box images trailing behind it for a few seconds. Never had this before. But..only if at my desktop screen. If I have a bunch of windows/boxes open, boxes close quickly and if moved leave no 'trail' behind them
i just reloaded my operating system and hooked up my internet and everything is great except that when i scroll on firefox (the latest version) its very choppy.
every since i reformatted my computer, its been very choppy. What I mean is whenever i scroll down it's not very smooth at all. Its like it's moving in sets. A friend of mine actually reformatted my computer and told me that I have to install VGA?. I have the cd that came with my computer but there are many files that are on the cd, the cd is called "MainBoard Xp Support" PC Chillin 2000. I don't know which files to install since VGA driver has about 5 or 6 .exe files. I was wondering if someone could help me through this process and take me step by step on how to get rid of this choppy graphic problem.
I had a playlist running on WMP and all of a sudden one of the songs started being really choppy and kept stopping, etc.When I reboot my computer, it takes AT LEAST 10 minutes until I get to the desktop and can fully work on it. It spends minutes on the opening screen with the Windows XP thing running left to right I'm working on it now and it's going fine. Whenever I open a program though it takes a long time but ends up working ok. I can't do anything when I open a song or video.
I have a new dell computer. the hard drive is 80 gigs, i have about 65 gigs free. recently the computer has become very sluggish and choppy. when i start it up the windows music which plays is now very choppy sounding. often when i start up programs an error message appears that says 'virtual memory too low, cannot complete operation' or some thing to that effect.
I have windows xp and I noticed that my whole computer is been running kinda choppy.anything that has audio will skip,including music,aim sounds,videos,video games,anything in general.also my mouse moves choppy.It will pause for a second and then start moving again with no problem and then pause again.The mouse mainly moves choppy when I load up certain programs.
this been happening for a while now. But all the sudden my cursor gets all choppy and disfigured and my pc looses all monitor signal. I reboot and XP cant even start because right afte the splash (b4 login) it flashes a blue screen and reboots. So I did chkdsk and a /p and NO GO. So I hiave to reinstall XP. I think its my vid card going FUBAR
Recently I was playing a game, when my screen froze. I then shut my computer down to restart it, used it a few times (in 4-bit safe mode), then after I shutdown again, I cant log back in... it just freezes and the screen flashes, I cannot boot into my computer setup (default f2) or into safe mode (default f8), however I can run the XP cd and get into the recovery console, is there any way that I can change the boot sequence from the recovery console? The screen is dotted with a bunch of dots up and down the screen in columns, and is in 4-bit video mode.
I have a Dell xps gen 5 with xp home.
the error I get is:
"Error: Cant enter setup. Video Mode 103 not supported by this video card."
I have managed to put video footage onto my PC from a video cassette (by plugging my VCR into the TV aerial socket). The video footage is saved on my PC as .mpg files & when I open them, they play fine on Windows Media Player.When I import them on to Windows Movie Maker, they are recognised as video footage and I am able to put them into the collections as video. However, for some reason, when I drag them onto the timeline, they go onto the audio line & I can't get them to go on the video line, so when I play it, the sound plays but there is no picture. I have tried saving them as .AVI files but that makes no difference
I have window XP SP2 installed on my laptop. I also use InterVideo WinDVD Creator for video editing. Recently when I try to import video file into my application, my laptop, processing percentage goes up to 98%, and the application just freezes up. I also tried the Microsoft movie maker software and I get the same result. I was wondering if I need to reinstall the application or there is something that my laptop is missing. The application was functioning fine until 2 days ago, and since then I haven't installed any other application.
My Windows Media player 10 is trying to play some video clips as songs rather than video clips. This has only recently happened. Do I need to purchase some decoder to fix it or is there a down oad for it?
Some of my video files are not working for want of Indeo Video Codec. I have been working on a video convert tool as my last application. I do not know what happened and this got corrupted. It gives pop up message for MS Encarta Video files saying "The program you are trying to run requires a current Indeo codec To obtain a current driver that is compatible with this version of Windows, please contact the manufacturer at http://indeo.ligos.com.". When I check with them, they ask me to contact OS supplier
The problem is the computer keeps losing its video display. Just went black. I reinstall the drivers and restart and the computer runs fine. Use fine, then after its been on for awhile it goes black again. Weird. I have the newest drivers and all the windows updates loaded. It just keeps going out. I have tried several screens as well to rule out the monitor freaking out.
I imported a video of 90 min length onto my computer. When I imported it into Movie Maker the final quarter skips and the video and audio are disjointed. What caused this?
just got a new computer recently and updated the media player to windows media player 11 but when i try to play a video file it just plays the audio with no video.. anyone know why this is or have any tips?
I hooked up my Xbox to my PC to play online using my monitor, only to find out that my NVidia Geforce4 Ti 4200 can only display a max resolution of 720x480 through my capture software, and this ain't good enough for me. Does somebody know of any specific card/adapter TV Tuner that has an S Video input and could give me resolution over 1024 pixels under $100.
