What is it doing, exactly? I mean does it just freeze, does it not show anything, does it give you an error message... does it just play very slow?

 

 

 

There are a lot of reasons for videos to not work, we need more info on what it is doing.

go to http://www.free-codecs.com and download the 3.6.2 version. It's helped me out with videos before.

Oh, sorry, #-o

 

It basically runs really choppily and jumps from one frame to the next. It doesn't run smoothly in anything at all.

 

 

 

 

 

Ok.

 

 

 

In that case, honestly, the problem is just that your PC is outdated. Trying to view something takes up a bit of power -- and running XP on a 1.1ghz Pentium III and 512 megs of ram isn't going to help. Hell, I would personally recommend a gig of ram minimum -- however I don't know if it'd help with your low processor speed.

 

 

 

I don't know if anything short of an upgrade will really help.

That may be a good idea actually. I would read through This thread on which distro to use.

 

 

 

For a PC with low specs like that I think it'd help a lot. Your major problem is that xp is hogging most of the resources that could be used to run the videos.
