Cpu usage and DVD skipping
I've recently had problems with the DVD player on my Inspiron 1150. It'll play alright for a few minutes then the audio and video will start skipping. Checking the task manager, I see that the CPU usage maxes out at 100 percent when the skipping starts. I've minimized the programs running in the background, and ran a virus/spyware scan, and still the CPU usage will start at ~50% then will slowly go up to 100% and begin skipping. The computer is only 15 months old, and it used to play DVDs just fine. My CPU is a Celeron 2.6GHz. Help!

You will need to look in device manager under IDE controllers > secondary IDE channel > properties > advanced settings. Ideally, the box for the current transfer mode should read UDMA 2 and not PIO.
