Saved videos are running slow on Windows XP PC?

Question

Running on Win-XP 32Bit, 4GB RAM, Good Intel Video/Graphic Card, Total 2TB HDD (with empty space about 600 GB).

My PC was absolutely fine couple of weeks ago. But now there's some problem while playing videos (movies, etc. saved on HDD). Videos are very slow, disturbed, choppy. Audio is very smooth.

Couple of weeks ago, I was auto alerted about updates for Java 8. So I went for it. While installing, it flashed msg that "there could be problem to my system as this version of Java not compatible with my PC configuration. However, I can install & run programs on it." I installed the same. Still immediately after installation, my system was running smoothly with HD videos. After may be another couple of days, problems starts to appear with videos.

So I ran tests for virus with antivirus, re-installed drivers for graphic card, but problem didn't vanish. What could've happened? What do I do now?

Are these symptome of my HDD failing? I don't think so coz all my other system functions/tasks are very smooth & fast as they were earlier. Problem is only with videos. Please guide me. Thanks in advance.

I run XP on this computer and many videos and have no problem. I have had Java disabled for a year or more and don't update it at all.

i think you should upgrade you OS or try uninstalling the java runtime.
or try it with other video players.
