However since installing Win 98 the laptop has not played video CD's properly (they played fine with Win 95), play back is slow, jerky and generally unwatchable. have tried to download new drivers from Toshiba, and played around display settings and hardware accelerating, but to no avail. Any ideas?. I have installed Microsoft Media Player 7.1, directX 8.1 & IE 6. Even scroling in Intenet Explorer is slow..	B S Kennard (1255)

It's probably some program loading at startup that is the culprit. If you have installed MSOffice, there is a program called findfast which is a common culprit for grinding things to a halt. Do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and look in the Task Manager and kill it. Look in your startup folder (Start|Programs|Starup) and see if its there also and give it the heave ho. Repost if you cant see any programs starting when you boot up that may be slowing down your system. cheers Parry	parry (27)
