Poor video playback performace on win 7 & GeFoce 6200
Hi
I have a machine which has the specs below and I recently decided to go for Windows 7 because of the need for the taskbar improvements and some other nice features I missed in old XP.
My main problem is with video playback because they consume almost all CPU processing and they tend to be non smooth (I'm speaking about virtually all video formats and not just a particular format but this problem is maximum with avi files). Also the problem is persistent with any video player (I tried WMP12 / RealPlayer). I never got this problem on XP using the same hardware and software. I feel like Windows 7 is not optimized for my old hardware. Any thing I can do to have an optimum performance??? I'm really stuck with this machine and do not have the time/money to go for a new hardware for many months to come . This PC is OK for almost all my needs except that video playback performance issue which I'm suffering from.
P.S.
1) I already tweaked various aspects of windows 7 which I do not need like transparency and some other stuff I do not need.
2) I use k-lite codec pack and RealPlayer 1.0.5 as my main video player.
3) I already downloaded and installed the NF123LR1.0 package.
4) I have the latest Geforce driver installed 195.62_desktop_win7_winvista_32bit_english_whql
5) The "Windows Experience Index" gives me a 3.0 score on desktop performance for windows aero.
What else I do need to do???
'll appreciate all your kind feedback
