ok, I hvnt had time to search about codecs, but I will! How about, for some reason, avast uses 'alotta' resources on this computer? [I only got 512?]
BUT I think its more than that, cuz it hung [avast] for awhile, then Ihad to restart, then I had the rhythmic skip. I gotta lotta stuff going on right now so I cant keep right on top of this, but this dv5k is a good lil computer, and I'd like to educate myself and conquer this thing. I personally think its a direct X thing, but I get nuthin' from MS, or HP, for that matter. It doesnt seem to be that hard a thing to solve given it is so specific. I'll just take it to one o' those computer repair shops, I know a couple reputable ones, from my friends.
a corrupted dll? codec? I'm 'stoopid.'
thanks anyway!
