Hey guys - I'm new to the forum and need a bit of help.

I've just downloaded the Season Finale of Lost and really want to watch it on my new XPS M1530. I've got the latest version of DivX and DirectX however when I watch it, the video is very laggy and only manages to run well for 2-3 seconds, before lagging and jumping...it's very frustrating.

I've tried to watch the video on Windows Media Player too and the same thing happens.

I've tried loads of stuff, including downloading 175.16 Nvidia driver from LaptopVideo2Go.com. But none of this has seemed to work, so am in need of some help and advice!

Here are my specs:

Dell XPS M1530, Intel Core2Duo T7500 @ 2.2Ghz, 3GB RAM, Nvidia 8600M GT, 1440x900px Display.

Providing a list of your running processes could be helpful.
