When I play a cd in my cd drive and play it in Windows Media play it goes really slow almost like it's skipping. I have this problem with all my cds. It did this ones before and I had too reformat my whole computer. After that the CD was playing right again. After acouple months it started doing it again. Maybe it's the setting?

I had the same problem, could be the settings or maybe your hard drive, after this happened to me many times when i owned a windows computer, i switched to Mac Os X and got an apple mac book with itunes, Wow was it a whole different experince, apple made all my problems go away..

Could be two things. 1) you computer is too slow. 2) your CD rom is not set up for DMA. You have to go to Device Manager, find the IDE controller and double click it. Select the IDE channel your CD ROM is installed on. If you don't know try one at a time. Right click the channel (say the primary IDE channel) and select property. Go to the Advanced Settings tab, under Transfer mode, it should be DMA if available. If it said PIO only, then you have to change it. Do it for both device 0 and device 1.
I think number 2 is more likely to be your problem. Good luck.

Maybe your cd-rom does not support digital audio playback, normally the default in Windows Media Player. Chaning it to analog playback uses a different method, and might work for your drive. SCSI CD-Roms often have this problem with WMP.
