I have some little, short MPGs and AVIs that are sent to me by e-mail and some I made myself that I like to play from time to time. Problem is that sometimes they play fine and sometimes the same ones will freeze the video at some point but continue the sound. Sometimes I can restart the computer and it will play the video fine; but, at some point, the freezing will recurr and continue until I restart the machine.
The video cards I have are older ones that support DirectX 7 or lower. My question is whether anyone thinks a video card that supports a later version of DirectX (maybe 9) might have any effect on the problem.
