    HELP!! iTunes music skips videos wobbly dragging

    I have a dell desktop 4600i w/ SP3 Pro 32bit (Microsoft Updates automatically converted my reg XP SP2 Pro 32bit to SP3).

    I recently re-installed my reg XP SP2 Pro 32bit on my pc because it was going super slow.
    It's now going fast/normal again except for now my iTunes will easily skip non-stop if I do ANYTHING else on pc while muisc is playing, plus any/all videos I watch online or on cd/dvd drive ALL drag and sound wobbly.

    A couple things that seem different from when I first installed XP was that after I re-installed XP I couldn't connect to internet so my Belkin router took over and did it, which I did not happen last time. Also, I'm pretty sure that before this re-install I had the NVIDIA GeForce thing (sorry not computer lit or a IT tech'ish) on my computer. Now it seems to be all ATI stuff for video and graphics, etc.

    I tried ALL the suggestions from the Parkk thread "choppy sound on DELL Dimension 3000" but none of it helped/made a difference.

    Hi

    In device manager do you have any yellow ! marks and if so by what device?

    Are all your drivers up to date?

    Thanks but no, nothing highlighted in yellow nor is it falling back to PIO mode. It always stays in DMA.
