    Hello,

    My new DV6565us has the integrated X3100 graphics option.

    I currently have KLite codec pack installed and I am using Media Classic Player.


    Anytime I play any types of video, the windows theme will switch from Aero to the basic color scheme.


    Thanks!

    Is this because of the codec pack and player I'm using? Or is this not an issue because of the "weak" graphics processor?

    The problem is probably related to Media Classic Player drivers not being compatible with Aero. This happens to me with VLC player and divx web player. The X3100 is more than powerful enough for Aero and video.
