Hi There Everybody

I have just upgraded to Vista from XP and notice that when I play Avi or Mpeg files in media player there is a green flashing on bottom of screen sometimes it's going down the middle of the screen. Vista tells me that I need to upgrade my video card. Anyone out there recommend a good video card which wont cost the earth.

you dont need to upgrade the video card.
you can if you want.

but you probably dont have the latest drivers.
find out who made the card.
get the model number.

go to the website of who makes it
and download the latest vista driver.

install it, and problem should be fixed.
