Hi, i wonder if you guys can help me.
Ive just bought a brand new computer with XP. Ive got onto the internet and ive downloaded Divx, VLC, etc. etc. basically a lot of stuff. Basically, when im watching a film on VLC, using Firefox to watch movies or on Youtube, the video lags and the audio continues. The CPU usage for that particular program also goes to ~60% and the total CPU hots 100%. Ive tried new drivers for the motherboard and graphics card, and ive cleaned the registry recently, but nothing seems to work. The computer runs off a university network but im sure this is not the reason why, as ive downloaded clips and then watched them on VLC and VLC.exe CPU rockets!
Any ideas?
Cheers!

The type of computer and its specifications would be helpful.
