Graphics are terrible when i play videos

I have an old toshiba portege 3110ct which i recently bought (second hand). it is meant to run on windows 98 or nt but i managed to install xp on it and it runs pretty fine but i have a problem with playing movies. most video formats (like avi mpg) played using vlc player or windows media player either produce very bad audio or the motion picture keeps freezing and jumping. sometimes vlc gives black and white colour for avi files which i manage to correct by changing the video output module but it still gives a jumpy picture and cracks in sound. can you please help me solve this. i have trident video accelerator graphic card in use.

i'd also appreciate if you know any light antivirus i can install as all the premium ones, (avg, avira, avast) slow the system terribly. i don't have protection and i'm using mcafee stinger standalone antivirus to clean a few viruses, trojans and variants

thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

How do i get my toshiba portege to boot from a usb flash drive. When i power it on it goes to starting windows screen (Windows 2000) then to blue screen for split second then restarts the computer I bought...
Before the windows logo comes up, there should be a prompt to go into setup. Usually this involves pressing escape, F2, F8, F10, or F12, depending on the machine.
Once you're in the setup screen (it should look like a stereotypical image from a 1980's computer), there will be an an option titled "Boot". In here you can set the order of bootable devices your computer checks. Set USB to be above your hard drive. There are always instructions on the bottom of the screen on how to change options and navigate around.

I have Toshiba Portege 3110ct w/WIN 2000 installed. Have forgotten admin password- I added a wireless card and tried to set up a home network when I locked myself out inadvertently
Are you able to get in in Safe mode (F8 on boot) , maybe try Administrator with no password. Then you could reset your admin password.

Boot win98
I'm assuming that you mean that the computer itself has no CD or no Floppy drive.
If there is no operationg system, and no way to actually install one, then you are out of luck.
There are external CD drives, but these normally run within Windows--although your computer may allow for their use on startup.
If your computer is new enough and you can enable legacy USB, then you could theoretically copy a Win98 install CD to the USB drive and boot from that.
If you have an operating system installed and your network is running, you can share a CD on another computer and run the setup from that computer by copying the files across the network.

Antivirus for low capacity notebook
With those specs, I think you will be hard pressed to find something that won't slow down the system. A lot of Antivirus software now a days requires more RAM than you system has just for real-time scanning.

Sunbelt Software makes a product called Vipre that is relatively new and doesn't consume a lot of RAM. Take a look at that and see if that works for you.
http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Home-Home-Office/VIPRE/

If that doesn't work, then I would consider trying something perimeter based like the Dlink SecureSpot device. http://dlink.com/products/?sec=1&pid=486 That isn't ideal since when you leave you network you will be unprotected, but if you leave this laptop on the same network connection all the time, then this just might work for you.

Slow windows media player
Hi:
Check your memory.
You may not have enough memory to run a video like that.

You need enough memory to be able to cache in memory the file being shown.

take care,

Toshiba
You need to unplug the cmos battery, wait a few minutes, the plug it back in.
This battery in inside the laptop and is a small green cell plugged into the main board itself.
Do not have the main battery or ac hooked to it if you do this, or it will not reset.

Linux on Tohiba portege 3110CT
If your Toshiba Portégé 3110CT is in need of a bootdisk you may have found that it's a bit of a problem finding the drivers to access the CDROM. The "oakcdrom.sys" driver that comes with most bootdisks doesn't work.
What you need is the "arccd.sys" driver and some amendments to the "config.sys" and "autoexec.bat" files. Fortunately, I've already sorted and zipped it ready to go

Not regonising battery
the fault is probably the motherboard not accepting the battery as being connected. If it's still under guarantee i would inform the retailer, as if you mess with anything and accidently do other damage, as you will know with car parts, the warranty is void.
