Create a Restore Point in Vista

Start > Control Panel > System > System Protection (in L toolbar) > Create

Jerky video playback

Problem:
When you're playing a video w/a large resolution (or any video at all) on your computer, the playback jerks/freezes then unfreezes, pixelates a lot after resuming, etc

Solution:
Increase the video frame rate

Solution 2:
Bad news- your (laptop) monitor cannot keep up with the video being played, so the solution is to get an external monitor, hook it up and play it while viewing the monitor.
