Just like the topic says, audio/video skips on Vista.

It skips in everything except for VLC player, and /everything/ plays perfectly on windows 7. Also, i don't know if it applies but it skips on an emulator and not on video websites such as youtube. I'm confused.

A few days ago I downloaded some codecs, and everything screwed up afterwards. I uninstalled them and it didn't fix (it didn't seem like that was really the problem anyways?) It fixed a moment ago which is confusing, and I could tell because when I hovered over objectdock - it opened immediately. I don't know what's causing this but I know that when it happens, programs don't open immediately and audio/video skips. It randomly messed up again.

My computer is an hp pavillion dv9700 notebook pc. Also, on windows 7, the audio is so much louder / nicer. I don't know why.

Thanks for your help,
Naomi

PS: I went through and ended every other process possible and it still skipped, so I don't think it's a program.

I've solved it..

I just had to switch my battery plan from "Power saver" to "High Performance."

Guess it didn't give audio / video its all while trying to save power. Haha.
