Thanx stoney-nuts for the reply.
As for my situation - no the codes did not resolve the final issue i'm having.
My particualar issue started with WINMP-11 couldn't play the file due to codecs not installed though winvista biz is supposed to come with them.
so i installed Klite basic and that took care of the codec issue - BUT....
sound is still choppy - and so is video - video is real choppy and hangs when playing a HD wmv...
Insert commercial DVD and it states it cannot play the inserted disk and asks me to atttempt to lower the REZ of my comp and try again.
I've run a GPU test it's fine
Tested the Memory - fine and it's new
My comp has been upgraded with PC2-5300 memsticks and
i ran a test on my DVD drive.
results are here:
Photo 1 and
Photo 2
the error shown is from too much info on the cd from what i understood - unless i'm wrong about that.
What nanders issue is...??? Did the Codec install solve your problem nanders?
