Video playback a little choppy in Win 7 Media Center.
Amy playing video files on this system that I am piecing together for my parents as a Christmas present. It is an older machine, 2.2ghz pentium 4, with 1gb onboard ram, and I bought a new PCI Nvidia Geforce 8400gs vid card with 256 mb of ram. The trouble is, as I play videos in Media center, even with the latest drivers, playback is a little choppy on the video side.. Stutters every now and then...
I am wondering if there are some services I can disable on this machine, which is going to be simply a media center machine, to potentially improve performance. What are the unnecessary procs, and what else can I do to improve video performance in Media Center? Thanks!!
