Blank Screen When I Right Click on A Video File

J

JCO

If I right click on a video file to launch that menu, my screen goes
completely blank for about 1 second before comes back on. It's as if it has
to load something into memory. I have 2GB of RAM. It only happens on
Videos.

I ran into this (supposedly) fix but it did nothing:
****************************************
100% CPU usage when using Media Player/AVI files

AVI Search Remove (Line 74)

****************************************
However, I don't think this file was updated to reflect the Windows XP
Registry.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks

do you need a video driver update by chance.

Let windows manage your swap file. Dont set it manually.

Yes Windows is managing my swap space already.
I still get a 1-2 seconds of black screen when I right mouse click on a
video.

Nothing shows that I need an update.
I'm only using the onboard video card.
I am viewing my desktop at a 1600x900 resolution.
