Well I upgraded to WMP 11 now but its still the same. Its a weird problem. MPEGs work fine , but now WMV's are very choppy.. It used to be ok. Anyways I forgot what I did to make it better. But also, when I full screen a MPEG, everythings smooth,,,,,,until the mouse pointer disappears.... everything starts lagging. Its a very weird problem. Anyone know of any solutions? Thanks.
