I bought my N45 for RM2.4k (after trading in my old laptop RM200 & the sub woofer RM100).

I've updated the Direct X, the Nvidia GC & the BIOS. But when I play RMVB videos, the whole movie is laggy, even the sound is laggy. Other formats are fine e.g. mkw & avi. Any idea how to resolve this?

I used Media Player Classic Home Cinema from CCCP & it's codec. Even Windows Media Player gives the same result.

When I was using my old laptop, everything is fine even though I'm not using Real Alternative. Is it really the player's problem?

Video Renderer
Default DirectSound Device
ffdshow Video Decoder
Audio Switcher
ffdshow Audio Decoder
CyberLink RealMedia Splitter (PDVD10)

Yea, all the rmvb videos I have face the same issue. Lagging video & audio.

avi, mp4, mkv etc all fine & dandy.

The CCCP should be as latest as my laptop since I redownload all the simple programs.

Old settings? What kinda settings?

Using my old laptop, there're no lags too. Everything's running well.

Okay, blocking CyberLink RealMedia Splitter (PDVD10) partially helped. It reduces the lags significantly but the moment I jump to any part of the movie, the problem starts again.


Alright, your method appeared to have solved the problem!!

I did only the following steps & it has worked;


1) Download the Windows version of binary codec pack for MPlayer.

(filename = windows-essential-20071007.zip)

2) Extract only these files from the ZIP archive:
cook.dll, pncrt.dll, sipr3260.dll, drv33260.dll, drv43260.dll

3) Put those files in the Windows system folder.
That is C:\Windows\System32\ on a 32-bit version of Windows.
That is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ on a 64-bit version of Windows.

Well, I'd like to thank lee_what & Duckies for your help! Now everything appears to be fine =)

If other N45 users are facing the same problem, then yea....it'll be handy to share this solution on the first page. I appreciate all the efforts lee_what & Duckies made to solve this.

Where did you download NFS from?

Hey guys, just want to check with you. I often encounter Windows Explorer stopped working, not responding & restarting error. I bound to get it sooner or later EACH TIME I on my N45. Anyone else faced the similar issue before?

Ever since I uninstall the AsusWebStorage, I've never encounter the problem anymore. Thank a lot for your help!! =)

Woah, why so many jack sparrows? Where did you got em? Digital Mall/LowYat Plaza or www?

I feel like trying NFS.
