Hi Guys,

I have the following problem:

After having replaced my old grafics card (Radeon 9800 Pro) by a new one (XFX 6800 XT) I can`t
watch movies anymore (avi`s, mpeg`s). When a try to launch a movie via Media Player or VLC or
whatever my whole sytems starts to lag extremely so I even can`t get the taskmanager.
Desktop icons disappear and reappear veeeery slowly, so at the end I have to reboot my machine.
Nevertheless all my games (BF2, GT Legends e.g.) run very good with the new card, no probs at all.
Btw, I uninstalled the ATI driver before installing the new card, afterwards I installed the latest forceware driver.
I am about the reinstall the whole system but maybe some of you have any good ideas before doing so.
Thx in advance

My Specs:

AMD 3000+
1 Gig Ram
XFX 6800 XT (AGP)
S-ATA Western Digital Raptor

OS : WinXP Pro SP1

Yes.

Besides that I never had any problems with my whole config but I had with SP2.
Reasonable question but I don`t really think this could be the problem, do you?

Problem is that you probably never UNINSTALLED your old driver before applying the new GPU... I doubt you can remove all of the little tricky parts once you've overwritten half of it with a new driver.... You might want to think about reinstalling windows.

PS: It would probably give you a LOT more replies if you would have chosen a more... Informative... Subject. Generally, when posting in the "help" section of a forum, people expect that you need help. A more descriptive subject would make it easier for people with specific skills to help you much faster, as most people only scan the boards, and do not read every post.
