My captured video is very choppy when I play it back. At one point I got an alert to possibly update the videocard. I have no clue how to do that or where to begin!! Please help!!!

That's a good start - uninstall the old ones first (force windows back to that terrible 16 colour setting firest)

Also update DirectX 9.0c to the latest from MS (Feb release)

If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

If it doesn't work, review some of this thread where I had similar issues.

Bottom line for me so far is I can only render the higher quality using the "Software" setting.

Good Luck.

Let us know how you get on but also try this:
defrag the hard drive (sometimes fragmented files cause problems)
run spybot S&D and/or Adaware SE (both free) to remove any malware that may be running unseen
close down any other programs that may be running (IMs, etc) and while it renders - go watch TV and do NOTHING else on the computer
