Method 2
If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

Please relay the e-mail program you use. You can also try to save the file directly on your local computer, and then check if the file is being read correctly.

Problems with media player 11 and all other players, playing music is broken?
Problems with media player 11 and all other players, playing music is broken?
Hi all
I have a big sound even and odd / problem reading music?
My computer using windows media player 11 and classic media windows and others to play my music in the hard lists recorded by windows media player 11 copied from my CD.
But here's the weird problem that only started to happen now, when I play music saved on any one of the players of the computer the sound breaks sometimes but not always?
Even if I try tp use players like windows media player 11 to play recorded video clips sound breaks toward the top, but the video image only?
I have a newly completed with windows xp home system and service pack 3, and all memory and material necessary for a pc game of level, a new graphics card was installed and by the way the problem of noise was there before this was done?
I don't know what is the fault? And I don't know how to find out what the required audio driver are for his computer system I?
I tried the right click on the audio device to see if the pilot could be updated in case that's all? All he asks is a cd or a floppy disk, but I thought you could ask to search for drivers online too?
He even now breaks the game sounds too!
Help, please
If you access Windows Update (start - programs - Windows Update), you cansee if there is a newer driver. The drivers are optional updates are not so madeautomatically.Download the driver for your audio hardware manufacturer (or motherboard if"It's built-in sound). They are often newer than Windows Update.This explains how to disable the improvements.http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-stop-my-music-from-skipping-or-breaking-up-when-I-play-it--..--"zorkspacer" wrote in message news: 9bd0240a-60ba-4186-a47f-38d6b3f88ddb...> Problems with media player 11 and all other players, playing music is> broken?>> Hi all,>> I have a big sound even and odd / problem reading music?>> My computer using windows media player 11 and windows classic media and> others to play my music in the hard lists recorded by windows> media player 11 copied from my CD.>> But here's the weird problem that only started to happen now when I> play music saved on any one of the players of the computer sound> breaks sometimes but not always?>> Even if I try tp use players like the windows media player 11 to play> saved video clips, sound breaks toward the top, but the video image only?>> I have a newly finished system with windows xp and service pack 3 home, more> all the memory and the material necessary for a pc level game, new graphics> card has been installed, and by the way that the noise problem was there before> who did?>> I don't know what is the fault?
