No idea why people have so many issues on WinXP.
I can play Dark Age of Camelot with Magic Window
turned on. It's an app that let's you show a video thru
the game window like a view finder. All of this while
alt-tabbing for quest stuff and using ventrilo with zero
slowdown on the video and no syncing issues. My rig
isn't top of the line either.

Always fun to do a 2hr dragon raid and watch a movie
at the same time. ^^
