How do I check my video card?

One reader suggested to me that perhaps my video card is not working, and that's why I get intermittant jerky feedback to my WMM 2 video files. I've tried almost a dozen or so of the logical approaches to fix; nothing works. My control panel system check tells me my video card (including drivers and stuff) are all working fine. How can I determine if my video card is defective, and confirm that as the reason my video playback is not smooth?
 
Try running the Direct X diagnostics that are in Windows XP. Use the Start
button and....

Start > Run > dxdiag

See if it tells you anything.

With your symptoms, I'd focus on the hard drive. Speed, condition (free
space and defrag).

And then the overall capability of the computer.

Good, then clear up hard drive space and defrag until your defrag report
says there are no fragmented files.... run a defrag report first to see the
condition before changing it.

The oinly mysterious deal, is that it "used" to work fine not too long ago

....so I do know my system possesses the capabiliity to crank it out, but I'm
either missing something or something's disabled or whatever ... can't
figure it out.
