| 79624 | 2002-09-15 07:03:00 | I like music . I also like f1 asking annoying questions. but you guys know so much I can't help myself. So here is another question. When I'm using my pc (asking annoying questions)I like to play music on the cd rom, but if I use my media player it does little spits & cracks of distortion that that are noticable. & when I stop media player & then just hit play on the cd rom itself. It plays nicley for a while & then it will just stop all together. ?:| |

If you know what type of soundcard you have (look in the devices under system properties - windows key and pause) hunt down their website and look for drivers. Google.com is a good start. Alternatively if you have insufficient RAM and running several applications, then your sound can suffer, especially if you have built in sound rather than a separate soundcard. You may be able to allocate more system memory to your sound configuration. Post your PC specs here, and there may be other suggestions. J :D |

| 79627 | 2002-09-15 07:59:00 | i'd give winamp a go... tis less of a hog than media player If you can find a version prior to winamp3 which also plays video (allthough not on my system) you will be better off. Winamp is a no frills sort of program, and as such is not as sucky on the resourses you have available |

| 79633 | 2002-09-15 09:27:00 | If your Windows version has got plain vanilla CD player why not just use that? I have Win98 and needed to install it via Windows Setup. | Susan B (19) | ||
