Playing video slows down computer to a halt?

Ok, I asked this question before, but now it's gotten worse. It started when certain streaming video locked up my computer. It wasn't so bad, but now, ANY video that plays through WMP. I have gotten a solution that works: Turning off DirectDraw Acceleration in dxdiag on my computer, but this is very annoying. Does anyone know a better way to fix this? Or even better, I'd like to know why this happens.



I'm using Wmp 11 and have a G-force 6600 GT for a video card.



Please let me know if you need more information, thanks in advance for your help.

If your computer is not infected by any type of malicious content then I know the problem. Most likely it's your RAM. The video card is only part of it. Upgrade your RAM card with a more powerful model, try a 1GB card. This gives your computer the processing power to manage the videos.

Have you updated your direct x to the latest version?
Sonds like you need a better set of codecs. I installed the latest k-lite codec pack the othere day and wasn;t too thrilled with it. Slowed me down a bit, but that may just be my system. Try it if you like, or Nimo's pack:
