for some reason my videos are playing terribly. The picture gets stuck in some spots while the music keeps playing and then it catches up.

I'm playing them directly from my computer, not downloading.

I loaded an mpeg2 decoder recently but I'm pretty sure I've played a video since then. This is new as of today.

I restarted twice,same thing still.

Does this regardless if I call it up on real player or windows media player.

Any help?

In Windows Media Player ........ Go into "Tools" and then "Options" ....... then click on the "performance" tab.  Make sure the video acceleration is all the way to full.

Seems like that has happened to me a few times.

your buffer rate is not set right???

KU hit it on the head, what version of media player you have ?

YUP!  All Better!!

Thank You Gentlemen.
