you know, now i feel stupid since i read all those other threads. sorry for wasting everyone's time, think its a sound card thing, or codec thing cause just figured out that when i play a cd, the same thing happens. thanks a bunch. then again, i will try and reinstall my driver for my sound card, will let you know what happens..., Ok Thanks for that Birdy, there was a problem with my driver, reinstalled, and no problem, although i had to reinstall my ethernet, but that's ok, its pretty much on the same cd, thanks again.!
