I am using a 2GHz P4 with tons of Mem and drive space on
Windows 2000. Yet often times when viewing a video the CPU
locks up, I have to shut it off and start again. This is
with the media player, Roxio, Pinacle and Nero. I notice
it most when trying to edit video. Any help? Thanks!

You may have already done this but just in case you
haven't, you need to install DirectX 9.0. My computer
was freezing everytime I played a video clip. It worked
like a charm after I installed the new version of DirectX.
