Default Re: When I watch a video......

sounds to me like your video card is not capable of screening the videos at the resolution the video requires. Say your desktop is set to 800x600, 24bit colour, but the video wants the screen to be 1600x1200, 32bit colour. When you start the file, it tries to automatically adjust the resolution. If your video card can't handle it, it goes "poop!" and defaults to like 640x480, 16 colours. You then have to readjust the resolution back to what it was to start.

My advice would be:
1) find out what make your video card is; go to the company website and see if there's an updated driver. If so, install and try again. If it fails, your video card isn't up to the task

2) try other forums, there are loads of forums on the internet devoted to video card discussion, many of them more cliquey and geekier than here.

3) buy a new PC

4) dont watch poker videos, stick to porn.

I only know the problem because i've heard similar ones in the past; hope it works out for you as the videos are one hell of a learning tool.
