I'm putting this under test messages, since it has to do with playback in general, not just AW stuff. I use Windows Media player, and most if not all the videos are choppy and stall during playback. A second or so, but enough to be irritating, especially with all the great vids around here lately.
I am using the newest version of Windows Media, and I originally thought the problem was there, but now I have noticed the same behavior when the normally active screensaver kicks in. I am using XP Pro on a 120G hard drive, (with AW in mind) and 512k RAM. The video card is supposedly built into the motherboard. I bought the system from a friend of a friend, and to be honest, I've never been entirely happy with it. Thank god it was cheap, but I can't afford to buy anything new. Probably for the same reasons, opening things in IE takes far too long, and overall speed is sluggish. I posted about this on a computer help site and got no response, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Since I've done it before, I'm considering reformatting and reloading Windows as a last resort, but I'd rather not.
