Then its back to normal until about 3 mins. later and it starts all over again. I get a similar problem playing DVDs using Videolan and SonicCineplayer. I'm using XP on a laptop with PentiumIII, 650MHz, 320RAM and 6Gigs free space on my 20gigHard drive. The problem has only recently occurred. Does anyone know of a diagnostic I can run to try and identify the problem. And Yes, I regularly scan for nasties. Martynz	martynz (5445)

Also check that your DVD optical drive has DMA enabled. To do this go into Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager. Look for the IDE controllers and then right-click > properties on the channel which the DVD drive sits. Look under the Advanced Settings for the transfer mode.	Jen (38)
