i have a 1.1GHz processor.I already tried tweaking stuffs on my msconfig.are there any suggestions.i guess the problem lies because it has a share video memory.is there any way i can increase that.because it doesn's show anything on the BIOS.i have a 512MB and when I right click on my computer and click properties under the General tab it shows there 496 MB RAM.what happened to the 16MB?

i already did try to look under the BIOS and nothing show there that will enable me to change the values of the vieo memory.so only 16MB goes to the video shared memory?are there any ways you can suggest i can increase that?i already did try to look under the BIOS and nothing show there that will enable me to change the values of the vieo memory.so only 16MB goes to the video shared memory?are there any ways you can suggest i can increase that?

They sold you a lemon. I got the same thing, and I can't fix it--although they claim that it can be fixed by updating the BIOS. BS. I tried. You get a $125 settlement rebate IF you brought it in for repairs between such and such dates. Otherwise I think you just get a smaller rebate.
It is a crappy restitution if you ask me. This laptop cost me a good $1500, and it's practically useless now.
Yes get the most recent drivers, here and try again also reinstall direct x and upgrade to SP3 if you have XP on board.. i'm assuming you do? also another thing, it could be that model is just too old to play flash clips on there, you need at least a 650 MHZ for any smoothness

512k should be more than enough but the speed might not be, altho you can make things faster by tweeking stuff (on startup disabling stuff via msconfig.sys) and a few other tricks

hi oh that's one of the funs of windows the system itself doesnt' read nearly all the ram like in DOS..but when you list it it should be 512k that 16 megs is in your shared video.. i think you can adjust in in CMOS (f1 or f2 i believe or maybe escape on bootup? but part of that

Check you have not got a lot of programs auto-starting and running in the background.
Press control/Alt and delete keys together and pick task manager.
Then have a look at the services running sorted by % CPU time, then you should find your culprit.
If all media players are closed, Open the Control Panel> Sounds> open, click on configure, test. Any Problem? Now when you say "choppy sound" The audio is on what, using what? With limited info it's difficult to give a informed solution. FOR INSTANCE, I was watching a movie/music, online video, youtube....etc. with (your software) and the sound was choppy. Or, I was on IE and watching a Video, music, etc. Lets say you open Itunes and play a song, sound is choppy?
Choppy Video? What do you mean choppy video? Is the video starting and stopping rather than playing continuous? If so, either you need more memory or the site you are watching the video from is slow. Also sometimes you line speed on the computer might be slow if you are watching the video online.
How does the video play if you played a DvD in your computer? If it plays the DvD without stalling, then your problem is more than like the site you are watching or the line speed as you stream the video.

similar videos for different laptop models could be found in that page

as to get a grasp on how this could be done for the different models,
& identify which method suits your laptop model.
Sound like a performance problem. Did you try updating your video and sound drivers? You should also see if the Adobe Flash Player is properly installed as that is used for Youtube playback.
This can be a bit of a tricky one to figure out. My initial response would be that you have another program or process that is causing your computer to play 'choppy' video. When you have a newer computer that was recently working just fine and now all of the sudden the video is choppy, it is usually due to another process using CPU cycles that are so important to video playback.
Start playing a DVD, but don't go to full-screen mode. Open the Task Manager. Right-Click on the task bar and select Task Manager. Click on the 'Processes' tab. There is a column labeled CPU, click on the heading 'CPU' twice. This will order the processes in order from highest CPU usage to lowest. The top two processes will most likely be your DVD player and the process that is causing your choppy playback.If the offending process isn't essential (i.e. anti-virus), then click on said process and then click the "End Process" button.
