I have a Windows XP Media Center computer manufactured by Dell, which I
purchased 2 years ago. I recently had a extra memory installed, plus a new
video upgrade to the GE-Force 7600GS. It would seem that I could get better
video than ever, but not the case. I still get video viewing that is
stalling or not running at all...what can be the reason? Please help...

Were the video drivers for the 7600GS installed, replacing the previous
set?

Usually, the drivers that are included with a video card (on CD) are
obsolete, and newer ones should be downloaded.
The source of choice is either the Video card Mfr, or the chipset mfr.
Usually most video card drivers (other than for laptops) can be downloaded
from Nvidia or ATI, depending on the video card chipset.
Laptops frequently use an OEM unique version of the driver, and this version
may be one or more revisions behind the video chipset generic drivers.
