I just finished putting together my first computer last week and have been able to get everything to run properly. The biggest problem I've had is that whenever I try to play a DVD, the quality is not what it was on my k6-2 333mhz computer, and it skips continuously. I have a Thunderbird 900 processor with the MSI k7tpro2-a motherboard and a GeForce 32mb DDR video card, so I know it shouldn't skip like it is. My DVD player is an old one I pulled from my old computer and is only about 4x speed, but I don't think that is the problem because even when I play games, I get a considerable amount of skipping, even when there isn't much activity going on. I don't have any fps numbers because I don't know what I need to do to get them.
Originally, I installed everything that was on the driver cd that came with the video card, but the next time I rebooted, Windows would load and then my monitor would turn off. Then I installed Windows and only installed the drivers and the control panel program, but that program won't even work for me. When I load it, I get a fatal error and it shuts down.
Does anyone have any idea what I might need to do to get it working properly? The rest of the specs are in my computer profile
