I am running Windows 2000 Pro,
a 32mb ATI radeon card,
a celeron 400,
windows media player 7.1 w/ Kristal Studio Pack.

The movies are choppy, or sometimes they stop but the sound keeps going. I thought maybe a light program on resources might solve this problem?
Any input?

I thought about using the playa, but it comes with a codec (divx 4.x or something), and if I install the Kristal Studio Pack codec (i need to use this or I can't watch the movies), it might overwrite files and have complications. Any input?

Thanks in advance
