I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 1501 with Vista. I tried to play a dvd for the first time and got terrible quality . The video is choppy along with the audio. What can I do to fix this?
Thank you very very much.

512MB memory is barely enough for Vista and if you have on-board graphics that will eat up to 128MB memory of that, so more memory would help. Maybe if it does have on-board graphics time to buy a decent graphics card.
