A friend of mine's computer was running really slow, so I told him I could fix it..

I thought that the only thing I needed to do was to format the system disk, and reinstall windows, as I always do when my own computer does this to me...

But the problem isn't fixed... I installed the same divx, and xvid codecs that I use myself, but the videos lag as hell.. It's the same with every media player I use..

The strange thing is that his computer is a lot better than mine... In PCMark he got 2600 points, and I only got 1600...

What can be the problem?
