Re: Media player is jerky playing video and music files I'mNew to

Hi again, I tried all that you said. I also went to the maker of the motherboard and downloaded drivers for the sound card. I do know the computer can run media player because a few weeks ago after restarting due to a windows update the media player worked well played music and dvd's and all. It also ran when i first updated xp to vista. I dont want to re install vista if I can help it cause I purchased the update and I think that means I would have to format the drive, install XP and then Install Vista. Thanks for all the help you've given.

Okay, so with tha jerky audio, the first thing I would check is to see if the
information in this link will help. There are some issues that this will
resolve.

http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=vista&thread.id=6860

Even if you don't have a Dell computer, the information is valid for the
audio device type. Please give it a try.

Last, if that doesn't help, I'd look at the playback enhancements. Under
the Now Playing tab is a little down pointing arrow. Click that and you get
a menu, select Enhancements and then Graphic Equalizer. Make sure it's off,
then cycle through each of the items by clicking the right pointing arrow in
the upper left corner of the enhancements window. Turn off SRS WOW, Volume
Leveling, etc. Each change takes a few seconds to take place while audio is
playing, just turn each one off if they are on and see if that makes any
difference.

Thanks!
