Vanity: Computer help.

I need to install a video accelerator for Vista PC. There are so many free ones available, wonder if anyone has a preference? Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

What’s a video accelerator? Do you mean a video card? I know of no free video cards.

Can you give some examples of what you’re talking about?

Could you tell us what it is you seek to do? What is this for? Games, videos, Youtube, etc?

Free Video Accelerators

They're for caching streaming videos so they don't start and stop multiple times.

On DSL?

Just download and watch them when you want. That’s what I do.

I use Orbit Downloader and VLC: simple, easy and convenient.

I wouldn’t bother with a software accelerator, I would just get a video card to meet your needs.

or new video card We don't seem to have any problems except with HIFI video format. We attend church through Sermon Audio. Live and recorded videos are in HIFI.

We get an error message stating HIFI can't find the server. We have to use an alternate link because HIFI thinks we're behind a corporate firewall.

Using the alternate link, the video stalls, freezes, and goes black. In the process of failing, our PC processor sounds like it's working hard.

We have no problem with Windows format, or even Limbaugh's new fancy ditto cam video.

Because we’re growing old together. OK?
