Basically I have now managed to play 720p mkv files with no problems using windows media player and something called hdtvpump. they work a charm. however when i try to play 1080p mkv files, they just lag like hell, the video is all in slow motion. Anythin i can do? i ...

thanks for the help with the psu's.
lol dan, i was looking at the exact same one!
thanks

Ok, i will try replacoing the psu, any suggested watts? i think 400 should be fine, or 450 should be more than enough. Is there anything in particular i should look for. i was looking at a psu and in the decription it said molar and some other things? Sorry i keep asking questions but i am not too k...

could it be my power supply?
I have a 250watts psu at the moment.
When i gave ATI a ring they said get a psu that is 400+ watts

No that did not help. It's still the same as before even after uninstalling and using drivesweeper.

Wow, it must have taken you ages to download, thanks very much, as before i will post the results here

I have tried the download several times but it keeps saying its wither an unknown format or the file extension is damaged.
Are you sure you downloaded the whole file?
I am getting the file saying its 52.6mb, is that right?

Ok i did a system restore to an earlier date and now it works, i downloaded the file but when i extract with winrar it says its an unknown format or its damaged, i will keep downloading the file until it works

This is strange, i did a system restore but no changes. Whatever i download, whatever file, it just does not save or run, ANYTHING.
Whats wrong?

HMMM i have another problem, The file downloads from your host but it does not save?
It finished downloading but when i went o the location, it was not there

Thanks i will give it a shot now and post the results. Also if YOU PERSONALLY use the catalyst control centre, do you recommend any settings? Should i put the settings more to performance side or quality side or balanced? My friend advised performance.

oh man, you are an ace.
Thanks alot.
Before i install this i just need to make sure.
Shall i uninstall everything before installing this?
As in shall i use drivesweeper and uninstall all ATI things?

I'm having problme with my graphics card in relation to playing hd videos, bu before i got my card i used the following codec/player and it worked a charm for dvd's and video files; K-Lite codec pack Windows Meda Player 11 Here is the link for k-lite (100% trusted site) http://www.free-codecs.com/K_...

I FORGOT TO POST 1 THING WHICH I THINK MAY BE IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW
when i was installing the catalyst programme, it said at the bottom WARNING, there is no 3d acceleration software or something like that.

I boight this from the net on a website called ebuyer
