I get major "stuttering" with 1by1 when I'm playing music and surfing
the Net. I've set it to "high task priority", but that doesn't help
much. Any ideas?
WhItE said:A solution (if possible) will depend a great deal on many other
OS and application variables. ;-)
In short, insufficient data available.

really sluggish. I thought it was my ISP, but when I defragged
(hadn't done it in a while), my surfing picked up speed and the
stuttering subsided about 75%.

It took care of my wife's system.
jason said:I'm not sure what hardware acceleration does, but right now it's set
at full. Should I set it to half, and is there any downside to doing
that? Also, does this have any effect on the task priority setting in
the program? I currently have it set to High Task Priority. Thanks.
Thanks Joe. I'll turn it down a notch and see what happens.Joe Laureano said:Roughly, hardware acceleration has the hardware "chip" doing any
decoding instead of having the software (windows) doing it. Turning
down the acceleration is the first step to determine if there is a
potential problem with the drivers for the hardware involved. you
should turn it down a "notch -at-a-time". If your problem goes away,
then you should check to see if there's a newer version of the
hardware drivers available. If none is available which would allow
full acceleration, then your choices are to: a) continue to run with
the acceleration turned down to the level which no longer causes a
problem, or b) replace the hardware (sound card) with one that has a
higher performance level. (either a different model or a different
manufacturer)
