Question Video Skipping

Hello, i recently swapped my videocard out, to be re used at a later date, and i am temporarily using my onboard video. i have the drivers for it and everything, but any video i watch, whether it be a movie, or a music video skips. what could be the cause of this? thanks.

Have you tried bumping up the memory it uses?

What are the system specs? Sounds like PIO vs DMA here

Yes but what mode are the drives running in?

To ensure your drives are operating in DMA mode: (1) Control Panel, (2) System, (3) Goto the Hardware Tab, (4) Device Manager, (5) IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, (6) Right Click on Primary IDE Channel --> Properties, (7) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK,(8) Right Click on Seconady IDE Channel --> Properties, (9) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK, (10) Reboot.

Youll have to go into BIOS and change the video memory mapping to 64MB (do realize that this takes away from the memory available to the system). I suspect that your system may just "not be up to it" .. what are the specs?
