Re: please help me with my new vista, it wont play video files from XP

had similar problem with VLC.
combination of new video drivers and latest VLC fixed it.
VLC 8.6b is what I use.

hello all, I am new to this so please be gentle, I have bought a new laptop
with vista installed & i am so disapointed with it. The main problem I am
having at the moment is when i send video files to cd writer & burn them on
my XP sp2 desktop the discs do not play on my vista laptop : the audio is
there but no vision just the grapics..I have also noticed that when I copy a
video file in this way using vista it will not play in my dvd player but if i
copy same file in XP it will play in my dvd player.Why is this & can i get
round it..Also with vista, when listening to audio files the time it takes
wmp to start is unreal & when you skip a track or 2 it can take up to 1
minute before playing.
I wish i had kept my old XP laptop as this new laptop is more or less
useless to me.Can anybody help???
