Audio & Video playing slowing

[sunbuck7]

I am using XP home edition and video and audio plays slowly like it's not
streaming fast enough. I upgraded to WMP 11 and still have problem. I then
installed Real Player with same problem. Then I installed Mozilla Firefox and
it still plays slowly.

Any advise would be appreciated.

We first need to get a sneak peak at what your system is running for
Processor, RAM and possibly what kind of Video Card if any are supported.

Also Hard Drive information as well, if you are running low on space then
you wont have enough cacheing space to properly stream video. The
information is most oftenly temporaly written to your HD.

When I had a similar problem (but not necessarily the same one)
recently, it turned out that CPU time was being hogged, not
leaving enough for video and audio to play properly.
You could try running WinTasks or something else and
finding where your CPU time is being used (and whether
the total is very high).

I have a new Apple iMac with dual core 2.8Ghz processor, 2GB memory and a
Western Digital 500GB drive. I have several legacy applications I need to
run under Windows XP. I partitioned the hard drive with Apple's Boot Camp
allocation 102GB to XP and 302GB to Apple partition.

I use a ReaTek Sound card, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600XT graphics card, I
increased my virtual memory to 3045-4092 range.

I rebooted thinking this would do the trick but it didn't. When I run any
streaming video the voices and audio sounds really deep. The women sound like
line backers on steroids.

Any help would be great!
