hi, I just bought a new PC, installed XP pro SP1, ran Warcraft (works fine) and now Prince Of Persia Sands of Time. the problem is that the video sequences are sluggish (video and sound stops every few seconds for half a second). the game itself runs fine. Installed the latest nvidia drivers, directx9.0c. Since this is a fresh installation I can't understand what the problem is. Other MPEG video runs fine in media players. I will be installing XP SP2 tonight but doubt it that this will help.

system = AMD3000+ MSI K8T NEO 1GB RAM MSI GEFORCE 6600GT

Check for updates for the game.
