223 Troubleshooting Guide WinDVD problems performance (for example, downloading new drivers from the Web). Before installing a new hardware or software component on your system, check for any potential conflicts between its resource requirements and your current system configuration. Also, if you change your operating system, check with your PC manufacturer to ensure that you have the appropriate drivers for both your hardware (for example, the graphics card) and software (drivers must support the operating system and DVD with WinDVD). Slow playback performance. DVD playback is a resource intensive application. Other applications and/or changes to your system hardware, software or configuration can impact playback performance. If playback is slower than normal, try the following: 1 Close any other open applications to improve the performance of the DVD playback. 2 Make sure that your display driver resolution, color depth, and refresh rate are optimal for DVD playback.
