I have been having the same problem with Vista Business on Asus U3Sg
laptop (2.5GHz core2duo, 3GB RAM, 250GB HDD, nVidia GeForce 9300M G).

Have checked many of same things (DMA/defrag/registry error scan and
defrag/malware/virus/trojan scans) and no joy. I have even set Vista to
lowest graphics setting...

The thing is the same files used to play back fine...
I have k-lite mega codec pack installed and vlc (which is the app I use
to play all media files by default).
Vlc used to work fine as did windows media player (with the codecs'
help)...
The files work fine played on another PC or on my DiVX/XviD capable DVD
player...

The graphics drivers are the ones from Asus - should I get the nVidia
ones?

Any suggestions would be great...
Too much longer and I will have to revert to my earlier Arcronis disk
image of the system... -hope I won't have to.. as that was a bit too
long ago now!

This is going to sound crazy. I was having the same problem. i went into
"manage add-ons" off the tools menu, and disabled all yahoo
add-ons...restarted IE, all problems solved. Go figure...
