I have this problem after reformatting my hard drive & installing winxp pro
that the videos I play (mpg avi) are running real slow in video but fine in
audio. I realise its an old PC but they were running fine with win ME on
them

What software do you recommend I download or hardware updates

TIA

Tracy

XP takes up much more resources than ME, so it may just be that the laptop
cannot cope with the strains you are putting on it.
