Thanks for the great responses. I too am having similary problems and want to make the changes.... Where/how do you do it?

Thanks,

so for low end systems, choosing 'overlay' rather than wm9,7, etc is the best playback quality, particularly on livetv?

[stefan]

Well, it depends on what you mean by quality... it would give the smoothest (non-jittery) playback quality, but you'd loose some in color quality, if I remember correctly.

[clayton.erickson]

I think I am having the same problem... How did you do the down grade procedure? There were other settings you mention and I am looking for where they are changed. Can you also point me in the right direction.. I am new to this and just getting started...
Thanks,
Clayton

Here's a recap of what I gathered from reading the first part of this thread.

Go here to grab a copy of the earlier version of quartz.dll:

I just did this fix by rebooting into safe mode and then I copied the existing quartz.dll from C\windows\system32 to a backup location and then copying the older version from above link into the c:\windows\system32 folder. I rebooted and then ran: All progams - accessories - system tools - system information
click on the tools tab and then directx diagnostics. Look for quartz.dll and verify that it has been replaced with the older version.

This seems to have made a difference on this pc.
