Sound like you are using the Buggy VIA drivers.
Make sure you have the latest version of them, it may help somewhat.

Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.

Okay here are some more things to try.
Upgrade your windows. SP2 is now out.
Upgrade your DirectX 9.0c is out (if you go to SP2 I think this is done automatically.)
Set color depth to 16 BIT
Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back.

Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
