yeah id use windows media player, I also have a few more that seem to have worked fine at the time. I typically dont watch DVD's on my PC, so not having the ability to do so was not an issue, but never really thought about it conflicting with other vids. Maybe my video card is about to go.

Is there a way to test it?

Ya that's the anti-viral program I have and use.

As for defragging, I use Smart Defrag from IO bit which not only defrags and optimizes regular files but also give the option to scan system files during boot process.

After defragging, I would schedule a disk check for your local hard drive to see if there's any errors.

Doesnt the System Mechanic program i used to the defrag thing to? I DO have it scheduled to do disk clean ups once a week during the middle of the night. Is that bad? not good enough? Does the defrag that is with windows do the same thing? or does smartfrag do more?

Im really trying to educate myself, I really appreciate all the help

From what I know Smart Defrag does more than your regular Windows defrag. It defrags and optimizes while windows just defrags, it also scans for system files which can only be scanned during boot process not while Windows is running and I think this is the something that Windows defrag lacks.

I used to use Norton, but it slows the system a lot and doesn't really do a good job of getting rid of viruses. You may wanna try AVG, but if your computer uses a 64bit-OS then don't use AVG since I hear lots of users with 64bit-OS complained about it. I use what Jaxel recommends and it's free.
 
HRD, if you're watching on youtube then try to find other videos that do not have that problem, if you're playing any videos already saved in your computer, try to convert them to other formats like mp3, mp4, avi, and so. IF that doesn't work, how about making an update to your computer. IF that one doens't work either then I'll get back to you on that one
 
Got AVG on my old computer at work.
Seems to slow my computer down when it boots up and AVG scans/updates.
Norton's been gettin better at bein faster and takin up less resources.
I DLd this free video card stability tester:

Note- close all other programs when you run it, the test slowed down my computer.
After you test it for a few minutes (the Start button) you can stop it if there's no errors (it's a nonstop test).
Then try the Benchmark, you get a number (the avg frames per sec (fps), I got a 55) and if you click Extra you can compare to other results they've gotten with people that have the same graphics card (the program will tell you what graphics card you have; it's at the top of the window).
