I have an older gaming laptop about 4 years old it was collecting dust so I decided to use it as a dedicated tv pc but it can't seem to handle 1080p silverlight?!?! I did not think silverlight was that bad would the gets 260m be the bottle neck or the cpu Intel core 2duo 2.55. The only display is the tv I disabled the screen and closed the top. What else could do it. All that's plugged in is a Bluetooth dongle and wireless keyboard. out side of aero what could do this its not bad just crackling sound and low framerate.

It was already on 3.10 but i updated it to the latest and it still dose it the sound goes crackly and i get frame tearing and then it slows down and loses frames. I hear a weird crackling from the speakers that sound like static once and a while. I also shut areo off as well. it just seems to be silverlight hd you-tube is fine. I will look at updating silverlight but any other help would be nice.

I would agree with the rest of the posts, update to the latest drivers if you haven't already, failing that, try a fresh install of windows. I would also try playing back some 1080p footage inside something like VLC Player and see if that causes any issues.

1080p in footage in VLC would be a good test. Silverlight is trash (in my experience is has been trash anyway) so that might be the problem.
