Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

What kinda Video Card is it.
Did you try the windows update that is on your Pc.
Even newer computer's have updates so check to see if your card needs a update.
It just might be your Video Card.

As always, try the really simple things first...

Do you do frequent defragmentation of your HDD ?
If not, try a few defragmentation runs... not just one.

Any problems with general audio files ?

What (if any) CODEC packs have you installed ?

Can you play straight (store-bought) DVDs ?

Intermittent problems with video cards are often a result of overheating.
Do you have fairly free air circulation within the case (i.e. not crammed full of cables that block air flow) ?

Or, is it a portable machine ?
You have not told us any details of your system other than CPU, RAM and OS.

p.s. The 'age' of a computer, as in 'new' versus 'old', is no guarantee that components, compatibility issues and the quality of installation of hardware and/or software are correct. This is true for ALL computers.
The failure rates of new computers are outageously high.

What screen resolution are you using?
Try some lower resolutions while playing video.

That's unusually high, more suited to a big screen high def TV.
For most videos, try 1024x768 in 24 bit colour, which
should be a good fit for your 64 MB video card.

To change the display resolution,
  • right-click an open area on the desktop,
  • hit "Properties",
  • go to the Settings tab and hit the Advanced button.
  • In the General tab there's three choices on the bottom half.
    Select the one that says "Apply the new display settings
    without restarting" and hit the OK button. That will drop
    you back to the Settings tab.
  • Try new resolutions with the color quality set to 24 bit and
    hit the "Apply" button to try each resolution.
Don't worry if your monitor goes blank, because if you just
wait Windows will go back to the previous setting and you
can try again.

Play around with it for a while. You might as well get familiar with it.

If you want to buy something better there are plenty of
good choices. Virtually all of them are better than 64 MB,
with 256MB pretty much being the smallest right now.

Look for one with output jacks compatible with your TV, if
you have a good one. Home theatre is pretty cool.

While your mind is on video playback you might as well
upgrade your software. There are better players and codecs
out there and you can get a bundle with all the bells and
whistles for free. Here's one that I found useful:
Download K-Lite Mega Codec Pack

[The VideoLAN VLC media player] is also highly recommended.

Johnnycat2525,

It sounds like a codec/driver conflict,you may want to think about getting a codec and Direcshow filter that does not use as much RAM and CPU power like FFdshow,which can be found here> Free-Codecs.com :: Download latest audio codecs, video codecs, codec packs and tools, FREE!, I recommend the CCCP(Combined Community Codec Pack) and playing your movie files in Windows Media Player Classic.

As with the ideas above,defrag your hard drive,or at least just the files,Limewire allocates space from all over you HDD,so after downloading severl files I use Auslogics Disk Defragmenter(it actually only defrags files,not the entire disk) and no annoying LONG start up delays while it "analyzes" your system. It is available here> Auslogics - Download Auslogics Registry Defrag.

Also make sure you have the latest updated drivers and windows updates.

You may also want to enter your BIOS on reboot and make sure your RAM and CPU are running at the appropriate clock rating(you may even want to check to see if your BIOS is up to date as well)

My Dad had a similar Problem on a Celeron(CRAP) 1.8 GHZ With On-Board 64MB Shared Memory,He had upgrade his RAM so the clock was to slow,I changed his BIOS settings and Used SIS Sandra to tweak his entire system...it almost runs like a Pentium Class now!!

Hint: If you have files that have already allocated space in Limewire DO NOT DEFRAG YOUR HD,this will cause the resumed file to be CORRUPT!!(do to the aforementioned erratic way limewire allocated space for these files) I really wish they would develop a linear algorythym(if you HDD space allowed it,then if not go to the erratic one))

Hmmm... Interesting.
Using Diskeeper I have never experienced the problem you mention.

btw... Another thing to perhaps check out is whether or not there may be any IRQ conflicts... especially if there are any RAID drivers installed and enabled. This is a more common problem with on-motherboard sound 'cards', but I have seen IRQ conflicts between RAID installs and video cards.

This is why I recommend Cole2k standard for CODECS.

It's clean and it works.
