    Sounds like from your brief discription that it is o/s related...try using the win2k cd to repair the o/s installation, select "Search for Windows 2000 installations" (if you don't have the repair disk) and let it restore the system. GL

    Poor DVD performance!

    Jason, If your still having problems after all that try another angle....SOUND CARD drivers, everybody forgets about the sound card. The DVD audio has to be decoded by the software CODEC also. Huge chunks out of processor threads! If you have a chee...inexpensive audio card you can prob. bet...
