Lag Problem

[Questioner]

This might be unsolveable, lol

Here is my "problem":

The laptop I'm using right now is a old one (=win98, 96mb/ram 199mhz/cpu and have limited hard drive space with a "normal 1999 graphic card").(Don't ask me why I'm using it, it's a long story)

As of now, I have some video files that is in divx code form which plays reeeal slow on my computer. The player I'm using is VLC. So I'm asking for an idea out here.

Is there anyway to solve this video lag problem?
(tried undivxing it, kind of works, but with "limited hard drive", I just can't do it that often)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

OH, sorry about this second/duplicated post, lol, kind of a newbie mistake...

By the way, thanks for the idea back on the other post, haven't tried it out yet, but hope it works!
