I have a MAJOR problem!
For some reason, between yesterday and today, I can't play any video files any more. MPG, AVI, you name it. I start a video file, the PC slows down, the CPU usage goes to 100%, the video refuses to play, and I am forced to stop the video from starting with Task Manager. Only when I go into video properties/advanced/troubleshoot and slide the acceleration to NO Acceleration do the videos play. But, I can't play any games anymore at that setting.
I also noticed something else. I have Windows XP and Windows Media Center Edition 2005 in dual-boot. I boot into Windows MCE and my games run ALOT faster!!! The video files load up without a hitch! And the PC runs super smooth!
What happened to my XP install? Is my OS corrupted due to overclocking? I am going absolutely insane over this. I only use MCE as a secondary OS. So, I have all my stuff installed in XP. There MUST be a way to fix this! I don't know what the heck is going on!! :banghead
