    This is driving me crazy whenever I see a video on the net or downloaded, I see something like a line I dunno how to explain it going up and down kinda like that specially when the video haves fast movements. I dont know how to explain it. Its like lag or something. My M1530 is installed with XP home edition, it didn't do this when it had vista. HELP!

    Tearing, it happens with flash videos on Nvidia cards.

    You can avoid this in games and 3d software with V-Sync. Windows media player avoids this when playing files with tweaking hardware decoding settings. Flash movies though I have yet to find a solution to tearing with them. VLC includes a VSync option for all movies played in it, and it supports some flash files.

    Also, under XP try these drivers for your video card, they say beta but they work the best I have found.

    Let me know how it works out
