I had that on my dad's gateway 999 p3 with intel's onboard drivers. even though i had installed the drivers, windows media player 10 did something which messed up the video playback. so i had to reinstall the drivers twice to get it to work. if that doesnt help, try force installing directX.

If it's an older PC (which I'm assuming) then watching videos with certain codecs (divx, xvid) will take up quite a bit of its processing power.
