Vedio playback problems on PC?

Question

So I reformated my PC and loaded windows XP Pro SP2. The computer was cleaned of all the files with complete reformat. The system is a Pentium 3 with about 35 gigabytes of available hard drive capacity (after installing all the programs), and the RAM is 256 mb with the speed being 933mhz.

Now I have a big movie collection. Before formatting I played these movies (DIVX, AVI, AC3..common formats) they played fine. Mind yuo I already installed the codecs.

Ok now when I play the movie there is a very slight lag, also when I try to do a full screen playback it doesnt work. This was not the case before formatting. That time all the movies played fine.

So what I am wondering is what might I have not done after refomatting the computer that is giving me this slight drag on the movie playback?

thanks for your help.....
appreciate it....

Answer 1

Are you playing these from a disk or from the hard drive?
Get more RAM.
