Video cripples computer
When I use an application to watch video [WMP, iTunes, RealPlayer, DivX
Player], such an action seems to slow my computer to a near-halt. Scenario: I double-click a [mpg, divx, avi, etc.] file and it opens the corresponding application. The application attempts to play the video, but cannot. Also, while failing to play the video, my computer gets agonizingly slow [I can watch it "draw" dialogue boxes and right-click menus] to a near-impossible-to-operate speed. When I am finally able to close the by-now-unresponsive video application, the computer goes back to normal speed. This also happens when I view videos online, using IE or another. However, said-slowness only occurs when IE calls on another application to run the video. Youtube, Myspace, etc can run their videos just fine. It's only when a video requires WMP, Real, or QT that my problem happens. Any suggestions? |
