Default Windows Media and other proggy's dont work as they should

I am not very good in PC's and need some assistane from some of you guys, there is lots of experts as I saw

After installing GeForce FX5200 128MB in my PC WinMedia9, DivX player, Poweer DVD player, video proggys stopped working as the should - how to explain that... the video is jumping every 2-3 seconds 5-10 seconds in front, so if you undestand - it is impossible to watch the video. Its going fast too, actually it looks like if you hold "forward" button on your VCR.
The only program that works normally is WINAMP (realmedea and quick time works fine too) but some files dont work with it. And in Winamp I play DivX coded vids just fine.
Also Rally Throphy dont work as should, it has simular problem as players.

Anyone know what to fix to make it work?

Run thru ALL windows updates.

Update DirectX to the latest

Update your video drivers from the web not from the cd.

Update your virus files. Run a full virus scan on your system.

Does the problem go away when you re-install your old video card? Perhaps your GeForce is overheating.

Oh - and just be sure to grab the latest Universal NVidia driver.

What was your video card before? Normally if you changed brand of video cards you should format or find a program that deletes all the traces of the previous video card.

One word about the format after changing video adapters....

NO!

Next time do the following:

First set your windows system to 16 colour VGA BEFORE removing the old card.

Restart your system to verify the generic 16 colour drivers work.

Shut down - and remove the old card and/or disable any embedded display adapters on your mother board (check your manual) and install the new Video Card.

Power on - and add the correct drivers for your new card. For Nvida, download the latest Universal Drivers and be on your way.

Nothing to it
