Problems during watching a movie

I think your pc has no external graphics card. You may be using on board graphics card which is not compatible to watch high resolution movie or highly configured pc games. Please buy latest external graphics card like nvidia gts 250, ati x1650 etc.. 

I am using gts 250. and its works for me.

Have you tried adjusting the screen resolution? Maybe the driver will work well  under a different resolution from the one that you are using right now. Also try adjusting the settings of the video player that you are using, maybe that alone could save you from the trouble that you are having.

I am not sure if there is a software that can rectify that, unless the software is other drivers that you will need to download and install. You may download some other drivers, for instance the nvidia drivers which are mostly compatible with most systems and install them and see if they will give you better functionality compared to the Intel extreme graphics drivers that you are using right now.
