OK. I'm starting to understand. It's the software for these devices. For
example, while watching a DVD MOVIE there was aboslutely NO PROBLEM. But when
I watched a DIVX Movie, my computer ate up about 60% of the CPU and then it
would fall out of sync with the audio and video, I believe it's due to the
divx codec since it's not made for windows vista.

So I really think it's just that we have to wait and see what's going to
happen when the new software / drivers / codecs come out for Vista, because
as far as I can see, my PC run's REALLY well while staying within windows, on
the internet, chatting on MSN Messenger and within word and office in general,

So maybe your problem Mad_murdock is that that program you're using isn't
intented for windows vista (yet).
