hi Bengo.

please be more specific about your problem. what have you tried to fix it? anything installed recently?

have you checked to see if your video drivers are up to date?

I recently got a better graphics card(Geforce 6200 PCI), installed Divx then uninstalled, I did delete some nVIEW files(I was trying to fix this pop-up at the start telling me about the SLi features), thats about it.

Look in device manager. do you see any yellow ! or ?'s?

What program do you use to view video files?

[Bengo]

I mainly use Winamp, though I also get the same problem with Windows Media Player, in device manager I see none of that.

When you say your machine freezes, what happens? Does it just lock up or can you access certain icons?

[Bengo]

Well, I can still use it, I can still do things, just at a VERY VERY slow speed.

try uninstalling the card in device manager ...let windows "find " new hardware and reinstall the drivers and any thing else on the CD that came with the video card

lets try this...get powerdvd they have a free trial..it will install some codec's that you may not have...if you decide you like it DONT buy it..for less than the cost of the software you can buy a dvd burner with powerdvd and nero bundled with the burner...

Already have powerdvd and just installed some codec products, apparently the codecs aren't the problem.
