The Hindu Business Line : Trouble using media player

I have a new assembled PC with the following configuration. Intel (R) P4-3.0 GHz, D915 GAV mother Board, 80 GB SATA Seagate Hard Disc 512 MB DDR RAM (Make: TwinMose, PC 3200 DDR) running on Windows XP professional.

The problem I face is that whenever I open a video file through Media player from the CD or from the hard disk (video file copied from the CD to the disk), the media player gets slow on the picture. The audio quality too is not good (dragging).

Why is this happening despite my using 512 RAM? Please suggest a solution.

There seems to be some problem with your multimedia device. Please check whether you have installed the correct driver for your video/audio device.

You can see these details by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Manage, then clicking on Device Manager.

You will see a list of installed devices. Devices with problems will be marked either in red or yellow. You need to look at Video Adapter and Sound Devices, you should have the drivers along with your Motherboard CD.

Also, please see that you install the Motherboard INF updates from the Motherboard CD. Memory is not of any concern here.

Please e-mail us at eworld@thehindu.co.in

if you have queries on computer usage or if you find an interesting way of using a computer.
