Hi, When I play cd or mp3 music on Media Player or Winamp, it will stop frequently after playing a few songs. The CD-Rom will keep spinning and the harddrive light is on for a long time, then it start playing again for a few seconds and then stops again...it continues like this while the cd is in the drive. I checked the virtual memory, it has about 750mb, and I have 2 partitions with 1.5gig each. I've just deleted 1 partition, so now have only 1.5 gig on the primary C: partition. (tried earlier to format the HD without success)
What is causing the player to start and stop....? could it be a buffer memory problem? Please help. Thx
