this will be fresh thread- No spyware/malware problems!!

have a new system, HP, AMD 64-bit,2.2Ghz,512Ram,200G HD. WXP-SP2 Pro/ Media Edition.

Problem is:

CD's & DVD's video playback has gone from excellent to so-so to $uck,
access to and use Media Player Classic, Irfanview Viewer, DiVx, Nero Media Player and WMP 10. The playback on ALL is junk, 2-3 minute wait to start to play and then terrible playback-jerky, cannot advance smoothly.

Audio CD's works.

Try CD's in old computer and everything works fine-remember, these same CD's worked fine before on new computer.

When i play a video from the HD on any of the above mentioned players they will play perfect.

I don't know if screwed up a setting somewhere along the line.

All the drivers seem to be OK.

Just wierd how it has been a progressive problem.

And yes, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spywareblaster, Norton AV all running and updated. Zone Alarm running.

This is driving me nuts!!!

Thanks for any help!!
