ok well since this week end my computer has been messed up. i am un able to play videos with out them lagging. the sound of the video doesn't lag it's the video images that lag. i've defragmented, virus scaned, spy ware scan, diagnostics scan, i even did a full scna of the computers video properties. but no matter what i do it still is messed up. also when i try to play games and stuff on my comp i only get like 10 fps when i used to get like 80 or 90. im not sure what is wrong with my computer but i hope that mayb you guys can help me with it. so can some one please tell me how to fix this?

whats your graphics card? it may not be able to handle the resolution

i have an integrated one. but i have never had this problem with it yet. i've had this comp for areound 2 1/2 years. and it has never done this.

What did you do before this issue occur? Did u mess with the settings? Download something? Deleted something?

integrated video cards suck.

i have one, and i cant' watch any videos without killing a bunch of apps to free up memory, or else it stutters and freezes.

it's fixed a bit, now that i have less runing.

try using ctrl+alt+del and go to processes (on xp) and check how much memory each thing is using. try to close the big ones.

that should help a bit.

maybe its your internet? unless the video games arent internet games. sorry

If you use like AOL or any other internet services that like require a phone cable to be plugged then of course it'll lag. Get DSL or Comcast... or Direcway and etc..

update your display driver. Sounds like you have an OEM computer, so there are official sites with updated drivers. If it's only video problem then I'd say you're using incompatible codec, but since your game FPS gets pulled down with it.... It's a good time that you format it =p

Yeah, as in your the video slows down, but the sound keeps going?

Yeah i got that problem allt he time.
YOur computer is slow.
You have to remove all unnessary CRAP,
And revert your computer back to the state where it had good performance, or even better, Peak performance.

Or you could reformat, thats what i did.

i have comcast so it's not my internet. and the odd thing is that i reformated my comp a week before this happened. so yeah thats y it's confusing the shit out of me.

dude... read... that little line you wrote under your avatar to yourself real quick... lol.

For game fps problem, you need to update video driver, then mess with the settings in OPENGL.

for video / anime etc, you need to get the correct codecs. try ffdshow.
