Have an HP desktop bought from Future Shop, covered under extended service plan, has never been able to handle video. I have discovered that this is epidemic. Everything tried in the way of drivers and several tons of advice. Any experience with this? dp

What do you mean by can't handle video? If your trying to play games with high graphics the chances are that its just the stock video card can't handle the graphics which is usually very common with the stock video cards

Video is tricky and is demanding for any computer.  To clarify....

  • which desktop model do you have?
  • what video sources are you looking at?  Can you watch YouTube videos?  If so, what resolution?  Are you watching Blu-Rays?
  • what are you running in the background that can be overwhelming the CPU?
  • what software are you using for playback?  Some products will work better than others.
