First, I did try another DVD player in Windows Media Player 9, although I'm not sure if that' s a valid test. Same effect.
Second, I defragmented the hard drive and that also made no difference.
As far as programs running in the background, nothing abnormal showed up. I do have the laptop connected to the internet via a wireless connection, and wonder if this constant internet connection may have an effect? I have a RSS program that retrieves feeds (PluckSvr.exe) while connected. Other than that, everything checks out.
i'm pretty sure its the power save option on the NVIDIA propertys , in display , set it at max performance ( no battery save ) , also verify your CPU speed , if you have intel speedstep...( not sure of the name for this apps )

Thanks for the suggestions, all.

Upgraded to PowerDVD 5.0, but still saw the same thing.
Tried a different DVD, but that wasn't it, either, thanks.
Just switched the power setting, which was set to 'Always On', to Portable/Laptop. What's the thinking behind this? (although it just did it.)
Thanks everyone,
Mike
