Huge disk activity when playing large movies
Hi,
does anybody know why there is a huge disk activity in Windows XP when i try to play an avi file stored on the HDD ? If i play the same file from the CD or from the network, it starts to play immediately. At first i thought that this may be raleted to the System Restore feature since once i had a similar problem which was solved turning this feature off... I have Win XP SP 1. Thanx for any suggestions |

AVI files are very large, in the Gig's, so when you play the video you
should see your drive light on constantly. You are streaming from the hard drive, cause you don't have a system cache that big. "jure" wrote in message ...
