Do I need a new driver?

ssang

Any advice please? On my XP home computer, "my videos" are freezing afer any use, clicking close removes the page, but it is still in the task bar, a blank "my videos" page appears, and then a message saying "my videos is not responding etc", when I click "close now" the page and all Desktop files disappear, but Desktop files do return.
Is this a driver problem please?
I have 1Gb RAM, but there are number of video files.(I tried reducing the files, but same problem).
Thanks.

go to www.windowsupdate.com and check all your drivers are up to date

choose custom and look at hardware drivers , but install anything that needs doing

Hello! Thanks for your reply, it is any program, be it video editor, converter, pocket video player converter, or Videolan player.
I already use Videolan, it is good.

Move your video collection to another folder, and add them back one at a
time, seeing if it stops the problem when empty. then after you add each file

If you have the view set to 'details' then change it to a simple and see if that solves it.
