hi

You have not stated what operting system you are running, a very important point.

If it is Vista or XP with Service Pack 3 than you will be enjoying the security 'improvements'.

Have a look at

Black Viper's Web Site

for 'tweaks' that will probably solve your problem.
Main thing is to disable all of the MS security stuff.
Might sound foolish but it's the price to pay if you want to have even moderately good performance and reduce your clicking by about 300%!

The 'tweaks' are all safe.

Plus, although there are many who will argue for their own favourites, I would recommend the Cole2k STANDARD Codec pack and 'easy' installation, and the All In One 6.0.3.0 Codec Pack (again with the standard/default settings).

One basic 'secret' is to remove/uninstall your existing Codec Packs, do a restart and then install first

Codec Pack Standard

next

All In One 6.0.3.0

Then, do a shutdown.
Next, start your comp and install the latest

VLC Media Player


The installation order is important.

Last, if you occasionally have problems with VLC and DVD material it is no big surprise and PowerDVD will probably run the DVD without problems.

btw, VLC should have no problems with Matroska files.

Hi, This has just frightened me. I don't understand it at all. I run Windows XP as an OS. I'm sorry but nothing makes any sense to me at all because I am not terribly computer literate. Odd, I know, since I was in IT support for ten years but since having to give up work because I am totally disabled, I haven't any way to keep up with all the changes which are happening continually. Thank you so much for trying to help me but I am not able to understand any of it to take the chance of doing anything.
Kind regards,
Perregrine
