I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 Laptop. It’s two years old. It has a Pentium 4 Prossesor. It used to play my M-peg movies and DVDs without the slightest hiccup. Lately it it’s been glitching every couple seconds throughout a video whether it be a M-peg, youtube video, or even a DVD. I have a highspeed internet connection. I thought the problem was the RAM, it started out with 256MB memory and it worked fine until lately. So i upgraded it to 1GB memory and my windows pop-up a lot faster but it still has problems playing any video at a smooth framerate. What should I do?
When running a video is running on a computer, the software typically uses hard drive space to store some of the video’s information even if it is on a DVD. So I would recommend that you either upgrade your harddrive to comething that is bigger or just clean up your existing hard driver.
Another cause of the problem could be your graphics card drivers. Look up what graphics card your laptop has and try to download the latest drivers. Other than that, the only other cause could be the amount of background processes that are running on your computer. It does not only depend on how much memory you hae, but also how fast and powerful you processor is. Those are the only things I can think of.

You might want to have someone lookat it if updating the video card doesn’t work. I would also try making more room on your hard drive because the more you have on it the slower everything begins to run. I learned it from experience. Also run a hard drive scan make sure you don’t have any viruses and update your anti-virus.

maybe you have problems with the codecs, get k-lite codec pack, install it, restart and see after.
