Any idea what's wrong when after re-installing windows XP (changed from english version to finnish version..) I can only watch movies about 45 minutes and then the picture and audio start skipping?
If I stop the movie and continue everything works great another 45 minutes..it's like some memory gets full or something..Haven't have this problem before with same codecs and hardware+drivers..

It's happens with both divx 3.11 and 4.12 and with every player (MP,Bsplay,MicroDVD, Playa...)

I am out of ideas here..I use P3 700mhz and geforce 2 with 23.11 drivers ram 480mb.

Proplem seems to be in some setting, but I dont know where. Everything works great before re-installing all the software and XP so what am I missing here? I tried to change the power-mode options in control panel and also the pagefile settings on harddrives.

try increacing buffer size in player.also try to put page file on its own partition or at least set it to a static one e.g min=256 and max=256mb.also try a memory manager and try setting codec priority level to low i.e right click media player and select properties>advanced>divx decoder.
