Windows Vista How to turn Indexing Service off

I'll try not to lecture you in the mattman method of running Vista any further

If the (reduced) stuttering is still the only problem, did you check many of the other suggestions at that video website? I still have a feeling that you may be missing an updated driver somewhere. As I said, I relate it to caching data. You may want to check for a firmware update for your DVD drive. Try borrowing another drive to test??

Check FAQs at the graphics adapter manufacturer's website.

I have stuttering on one of my (Win XP) systems. I haven't gotten round to finding out the reason yet though (the system is not connected to the internet and does have/need any programs running in the background, it runs as my media centre). The stuttering does not bother me much, so it is low priority.

Never mind Matt. Not bothering at all. I am as stubborn as can be, so...

I have clean-installed everything again, and the "stuff running in the background" behaviour has decreased to a minimum. Checked the "High-Performance" option in the Energy options, manually changing some of the things there, of course , minimum, I should say. I think it's OK now. Must've been something I had installed. I'm still making tests.

As for the video stuttering, have not tested it so far. I use the K-Lite Codec Pack, and it's updated to the last version. Matter of fact I watch videos from files (.avi, .divx most of the time) using VLC Media Player, which I think is the best available because of the support to subtitles: effective and stable. Things are running smoothly around here, afer a couple of intall cycles.

I'll be reporting soon. Hasta la vista!
