Welcome to MG, angies:wave Glad you could join us....
You can go to the software thread and post your question there if this one doesn't get moved... There are more eyes in that one, I am sure they will get you up and running!

 

Thanks for your reply i'll move over to the software forum oh and thanks for the welcome

 

yep realized as soon as i'd posted it they don't call me stupid for nothing I earned the title

 

As advised please revert msconfig to normal start up.
What player are you using? Do normal (Wav) audio CD's play fine.
Have you tried other media players?
Is this the only hiccup you notice or are there other issues as well? What made you use msconfig? Has this always been a problem? Are you on Vista SP1? Cheers..

 

Hi, when you have finished following up DomLuc's advice , check whether Task Scheduler is running background tasks (Defrag is a common one) that may be interfering. Control Panel > Administrative Tasks > Task Scheduler (I think - no Vista here), you should be able to pause or stop any task there; when you find a likely candidate, maybe you can reschedule it to a more convenient time or disable it and run it manually.

 

I was advised by computer programer this was the best way (maybe for him) it's Vista ultimate I'm using and we have no other problems cd's dvd's wav all ok no visable signs of any other problem

 

Can't thank you enough just checked and yep defrag was running in the background. I couldn't understand why it wasn't a constant problem now I know why. Thanks again this has been driving me mad for weeks
