I've had this problem for quite a while. I've tried reinstalling windows (2kpro) and even reformatting, to no avail. Whenever I play mpgs, they play faster than they should; ie, the framrate should be 29.4, it plays at 32 or so. Since this happens, the sound is choppy and tries to keep up, and the video is kinda jumpy, etc. This happens with AVIs too, just not as badly. If I turn off HARDWARE ACCELERATION under my Gforce2 setting tab, the video qualitity goes to crap, it looks like 256 colors, but the problem goes away. I can remember a time on this computer where i had the best of both worlds. I have the latest drivers for my Gforce and sound card (soundblaster 128pci) (gforce2mmx/mmx400 PCI), the lastest windows updates, the latest windows media player. It just seems windows needs a frame rate limiter or something. Please, can anyone help me out with this one? I'm not sure if this has anythign to do with it, but my DVDs play quite choppilly/sound is choppy, too.
thanks.
