Greetings,
I have been having trouble with the sound output on my computer stuttering. It started yesterday after I installed a shareware program I downloaded which must not have installed properly. I've tried cleaning the registry with Norton Utilities and running other diagnostics (disk cleanups, et al.) with no luck. What's funny is that the sound is only affected when running games and not music (mp3's, etc.) I also tried reinstalling Windows ME over its current installation to try and eliminate whatever's wrong, as well as wiping/reinstalling drivers but still no dice. Here are the pertinent specs on my PC.

Compaq Presario 7000US
Windows ME Build 4.90.3000
256MB RAM
Creative Soundblaster PCI128 (WDM)

If anyone has any idea what I can do to fix this, I would be most appreciative. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

-Fernando
