If you change the screen size from normal to small does the stuttering get
better? I suspect that the laptop is just not good enough to play dvd's if
your using windows XP, also disable any phantom updates which might be
running in the background check startup progs in the registry. I would
suggest you chuck the computer failing that, chuck windows XP get windows
2000 or even 98 and then update media player. This might work better also try
sharing more of that ram to the video card 16MB seems nowadays pre-historic.

I want to use a modest older laptop for watching DVD's. WinDVD and Windows.
Media Player both play a DVD, but both show similar ghosting, dropped
frames, and a dancing array of white horizontal lines.
The laptop has a Pentium III 1.1GHz, 384MB, 16MB of system RAM currently
allocated for video memory, Via PN133 "Twister" chipset, Windows XP Pro.
The laptop easily exceeds the modest hardware requirements for WinDVD, and I
imagine for Windows Media Player (v.11). This is a fresh installation of
Windows on a reformatted hard drive. I have not yet installed any security
software, and there are not many other non-MS background processes running.
Presumably Windows Media Player is using the video codec installed by
WinDVD.
Anyone know what causes this condition and what I might do about it?
