    What are your free resurces like when trying to run the video, that will rule out your system. check using the ctrl alt delete.

    Also, how you finding that Windows Server 2003. What is the format like Windows XP?

        Yeah, your system seems fine to me. What application are you trying to run it in. I found problems with WM9 with certain Xvid movies. however, WinDVD, with the right codecs installed, has never failed me yet. It could also be that you have more than one of each codec installed. These can have conflictions with each other causing undesirable effects, such as the problem you are having.

        Do you find Win2k3 more stable than XP?

          I do not have more then one of each codec installed. Win2k3 is the most stable OS I have used (besides Linux). It automatically has most services disabled like messanger or MSN messanger. I just did some tweaking and it now runs like a workstation with better performance, speed, and stability.

            WINDVD did the trick. I also installed the latest Direct X 9.0b and now everything is working. Thanks

              Glad you got it sorted. I might look into the Win2k3 OS cuz, currently i find that with XP Pro Corp edition, it isnt the most stable OS available.
