This may well be a question asked a million times but it is to do with the player freezing...
I watch AVI/DivX films using VLC but it is always guaranteed to freeze at least once/twice at any point during the film. It starts fine but midway through or so it freezes and usually catches up on itself 3-5 minutes later - although sometimes it freezes the whole comp and I have to restart.
I use the latest version of VLC (0.9.9) on Vista, so what could be the reason for this type of freezing - it's incredibly annoying but I'm sure there's a simple enough answer to rectify it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Do you have something using your CPU or your RAM?

Nah, when I'm playing the movie that is the only function open and only thing bar that is the modem being on but the net isn't open.

Re: VLC Freeze
Oh, the ole CTRL/ALT/DEL function?
Do you mean anything large that shouldn't be running I should shut down?

Re: VLC Freeze
How many processes do you have running?
Re: VLC Freeze
I'll have to check once I get home - still an hour at work to trudge through.
