dvd playing jumpy with sound reasonable (ulead dvd player)

[jimmyj]

I have been attempting to play DVD's in full screen with an Intel Celeron 633Mhz, using 184mb SDRAM and Windows XP Home. I have a Soltek SL-65MIV motherboard with Savage4 video onboard.

Following earlier forum advice for similar problems I have updated the drivers for the video card and motherboard, and followed instructions to check and install the aspi layer(I think it was successful). But these make no difference.

I know that DVD's can be played successfully using lesser processors and RAM than mine so I am stuck for what to try next. I don't want to swap Windows XP for 98 if that is what is slowing things down.

Please, any ideas or knowledge gratefully accepted.

184 meg of RAM might be plenty for W95/98 or ME..... but for XP you REALLY need a minimum of 256.

An ASPI layer will not help DVD playback one jot.........who told you it would?

Download VLC (videolan...its freeware) and see if that plays the DVD fullscreen.....if it doesn't get some more memory...you need it anyway.
