Although it's not free, you can try installing CoreAVC to let it decode the video. It's a bit lighter on the processor usage. Upgrading the RAM may help as well... Vista runs like ass on only 1GB of memory.

Personally, I'd blow away Vista, and reinstall XP onto your laptop. It's what I did for my gf's dad's laptop, and it no longer takes 15 min to boot up and check email.
