bad video playbck on Thinkpad

[davidvarela]

hello everyone,...i have a problem with my video card..i cant play hulu videos. or Cbs videos on full screen smoothly..i have an IBM Thinkpad T60p with the following specs

Windows 7 ultimate
Intel Core DUO 2.16 Ghz
3 Gigs of DDR2 Ram
320 HDD @7200 RPM
a beutiful 15.4 inch high res screen 1600 x 1200
and a ATI FireGL V5200 video card with 256 megs of dedicated video ram..

With this specs one would think that it can run video with no problem right? well not the case here..i have all up to date drivers and have uninstall and install them with no luck.i i love this machine but i need it to play video..one of the reasons i got this one was because of its dedicated video card...Please help me>>

Thanks!
David Varela

the big question is has it worked perfectly before?

You could try installing the klite or divx codec packs, I suggest this k-lite codec pack for all your video needs, also you may try VLC for file videos.

It does sound like your GPU is buggered, is your games running OK? ... Run a new windows hardware score test, your gpu should be in the 3's, also a good check of your CPU when it does it, some program might be eating your cpu resources
