Art Pelley :
I think I may have screwed up the message I just tried to send you. I'll try again. I have an Acer One d225e, with windows 7, the cpu is 1.66hz, the net book that just went bad on me had, with windows xp 1.60hz and I didn't have this issue with that one. This new net book's memory is 1gb. If you have some time, would you mind calling me? I am not happy with this product in general, I'm considering returnig it and purchasing a used Dell, I sure could use some advice.
Thank you for the time you have taken,

Art,
First, I would take your phone number off this so you don't get crack pot's calling you...I don't mind calling you and giving you advice.
First, is this a video you are watching on the internet?
Second, is this a DVD video from your CD/DVD ROM?
With out knowing a lot of details, I also found this that may be helpful. If you do any of these, just remember what you did, and put it back if it don't work. You can email me directly if you want too. I have just PM'd you in a message here on the fourms. It will be in the top right hand side of this web page next to Profile tab, threads tab and then messages. Hope you find it! It took me a while to figure it out...lol
