Holy slow motion Batman!

Every time I start up any type of file with a video, my computer will run in slow motion and I have to close it and press ctrl+alt+delete just to get it running normally again.

 

I've tried using different players + etc but I can't fix it. I'm also running a virus scan now, and I'm going to run spyware search and destroy to get rid of it.

 

Help me swampies!

Hmm. Shouldn't be. I upgraded my ram yesterday to 1 gig, was fine before I added more ram.

 

Edit: also, its fine if I'm playing music files, its just video for some reason.

I don't see why putting some more ram in would mess up videos, why do computers have to be so annoying sometimes. :indif: I found nothing in the virus scan and the spyware scan, looks like its the ram.

I don't know if this is true, but could your comp be running thinking that it has lower RAM then it really has?

 

Just thinking out loudly.

Most BIOS after 2002 won't allow a boot unless it's the proper RAM. I had this problem when I had my new stick put into a certain slot, I switched out the slots, now it runs perfectly. Perhaps that's your problem, probably wants that stick in a specific slot.

maybe there's just to much stuff saved onto the hard drive. like programs and such. I recommend getting rid of any old programs you don't use any more. but make sure noone else in the household uses them either.

What PLayers have you tried and what type of files are they?

 

Is your virtual memory low?(too much space taken up on the system drive(usually C:))
