Increase system resources:
Turn off external devices such as printers and scanners. Disconnecting these devices frees up
valuable system resources and results in better playback performance.
Change desktop color properties. Because the human eye cannot easily tell the difference between
colors beyond 16 bits, you should not notice any loss of color while watching a movie if you lower system
color properties to 16-bit color, as follows:
1. Right-click anywhere on the desktop except on an icon, and then select Properties > Settings.
2. Set Color quality to Medium (16 bit).
