Radeon 9200 and Choppy Video

[Guest]

I have a Radeon 9200SE, driver 6.14.10.6404, hooked to my LCD using DVI.

The native resolution of the LCD is 1280x1024, which is what I run it at. If
I have the color depth set at 32 bit, any video I play, DVD, AVI, Mpg, all
display on the screen very choppy and the display actually cuts out every
few seconds. However, if I set the color to 16 bit, everything plays fine.

I don't know enough about the advanced options, like OpenGL, Direct3D, Open
Gart to know what needs adjusting. Any help would be appreciated.

System, XP Pro, 512 DDR, Biostar M7VIG Pro.

When you first installed Windows, did you install the latest motherboard
chipset drivers right away?
