Hi Appleseed, Just to let you know, there was nothing stupid about Quasi`s reply, very good suggestions to try. Another Member today posted information on the Skipping he had, I`ll quote part of his post: I found an "error correction" setting under playback settings on Windows Media 9.0 that seems to have corrected the skips
Seasons Greetings!
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the difference.
This may be stupid, but do you have a microphone installed? If so you may want to check the pickup level that it is set to. If it is too high you may be experiencing some feedback. Okay now that I feel totally dumb for asking that, how about the secondary IDE channel settings? If you right click on My Computer (classic view, or you can open up System in the Contol Panel) and choose Properties you will see a Hardware tab. Click that and then choose Hardware devices. Finde the IDE contoller on the list and expand it. You should see a Secondary Channel list. Right click that and choose Properties. When that opens click the Advanced settings. Both devices should be set to DMA or Ultra DMA 2. If not try to set it to "Use DMA if available". If it does not allow you to do that you will have to go back a few steps and uninstall the secondary channel (don't worry you won't break anything). Reboot the computer and it will detect the channel. Go back and make sure they are both using DMA.

That's all I have to offer. Good luck
