    I dont know what the Hell is going on. I;ve reinstalled my OS system due to too many BS on my laptop and started from square one. All is good but my videos are now lagging. MPEGS, flash Videos from the WEB (Firefox) and others. Surprisingly youtube-like sites work no problem. and to think i was running Gears of war pretty good before the whole MESS-uP. What should I do- This is really annoying

    System info; Dell XPS M1330
