Hi everyone,

I'm new here. Recently borowed a tower off someone as my old machine is out of action at the momt ad just wondered what you think could be causing the DVD drive to be playing jumpy DVDs? They played fine on my old machine. The current comp is an Intell Pentium 111 processor 598 Mhz 320 MB Ram, the old one was Intel Celron 600 MHz and 64MB Ram. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS

Hello and welcome to PC help Forum.

Well its proberly because you have a PIII with only 32/64 mb RAM.You did not state if you were running Windows 95/98/XP?

Or is that 320 mb RAM or 32 mb?

You could try putting in more RAM,update hardware drivers,clean DVD rom drive with proper cleaning disk.

Could be a damged or faulty DVD rom drive.

It is an old computer.

I'm not really sure hhow old it is and it is Windows XP and yes it's 320 MB of RAM. I'm actually getting a second opinion on the state of y old one as I dont think it's a right off and actually the 2nd opinion engineer said thre was nothing wrong with it so is going to see what he can do but am going to try to sort out this problem in the meantime that'd be cool, if it's teh processor then I ight not fiddle with it too much as it's not my machine and might need to give it back.
