When I start-up one of the newer PC games, the introductory video runs choppy
but the game runs fine. What's the solution?

Don't watch the introductory video.

A faster video card or CPU?

If your system barely meets the game's requirements,
try terminating programs running in the background?

Run at a lower screen resolution?

Read the README file or the manual,
for tips on increasing performance?

If your PC exceeds the game's requirements,
the problem may be driver incompatibility.

Make sure that your Video and Sound drivers
are up to date?

Remembering my former PC, MS Ages of Empires series had that problem. The
intro ran from the CD. Had no choice as the program ran that first. Mouse
clicks sequenced and stepped to the next intro video, then the next. There
are 3 of them.

If your problem is similar, would suggest the source of the video is the
problem. The Cd player is too slow, the ide bus, the bus to/from memory is
saturated, or the video card simply can't handle it. A generic answer of
one of these is inappropriate considering the information provided.
