Answer» Hey guys I wasn't totally sure where to post this so apologies if this is the wrong forum. My problem is basic but I haven't found a solution after hours of going through help PAGES and troubleshooters: whenever I try to play a video file (with any application) my PC goes extremely slow until I exit the application (if I can ACTUALLY exit at all! sometimes I have to restart my computer). I recently upgraded from a 5900XT gfx card to a 6800XT - COULD this have anything to do with it? Graphics in gaming work perfectly WELL though. I've attached a full dxdiag report. If there's any other info you need please let me know. THANKS a lot for your help Try updating your graphics drivers. What are you using to play the video files, and what format are they?cpu, memory, and graph card specs plz Quote cpu, memory, and graph card specs plz Check the dxdiag report. onearmedbandit....... Just had a fast look at your dxdiag report ...and nothing jumped out ........ Is this issue something that has always been there ...or did it start as soon as you changed the vid card ? Do you have this slow down with anything else ? Music ? Do you have the latest updates installed for XP pro ? Which version of WMP are you using ? Have you tried the player from VLC ? dl65 Hey, sorry I haven't replied to any of your comments. My internet went down and I've only just got it back :-/ dl65: The issue didn't arise until about a week after I'd upgraded my card. I'm not experiencing any problems with other forms of media, and I've tried it on all my video applications (including VLC). I have tried updating to the latest graphics drivers too.Do you have the latest Windows updates? What are you using to play the files, other than VLC? What versions? The problem occurs with all formats of video files, correct? And all sizes too?Latest windows updates - yes. Other apps - WMP, winamp, creative playcentre ... not sure about the versions.
