I am having trouble with videos. When i try to play a vid I get a white screen where the vid should be. I do have the sound but no vid. It started out doing it when I would go full screen. Is it my vid card
Thanks

That's pretty vague, but it doesn't sound like hardware to me. Does it do it on any video or just one particular format.

I'd start with:
-Download and install the latest drivers from your video card manufacturer.
-Install the latest version of the video player software.
-Watch your memory utilization and make sure it isn't pegging 100% when it's trying to play the video.

I agree with Gotmyally, you might also try doing a disk cleanup in system tools and making sure that temp files and internet temp files are checked to delete. Another great tool is at www.superantispyware.com, I use it often and you will be surprised what is on your computer, the free version is all you need.
