hi there....
<<<<<<IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER TO THIS>>>>>>>>
                                         !!!!STRANGE!!!!
this is rex here and i came up with a new problem with my computer.
very recently i reformated my hard drive and after that if i play any audio mp3 track
it works fine but if i do any other thing along with it suppose i am on line or using yahoo messanges
the sound becomes choppy and it breaks up.....
simply refreshing the desktop makes the sound choppy at times
this was not the case a few days back.....
i tried to uninstall and reinstall the sound drirers and also tried to update the realtek sound drivers from device manager
i was thinking shall i try to delete the filters....
will that help or something else that u suggest

and another issue that is constantly bothering me but that is not a concern is that
when i try to open any video from you tube,.com the audio and video is choppy and it breaks up
but it at times works fine if i use mozilla sted to ie6

hi,
  thanks for the reply....but you know what i have already replaced the hard drive
it was a seagate hard drive and i have ordered a replacement and it is on it's way but in the mean time
i purchased a new Hitachi hard drive and reinstalled a fresh copy of xp.
but you know what it works for two days and again the same thing happens, that same error again
and after i restart it is the same.
i i tried several things and the only way i can start is by doing a reseat of the hard drive
and that will be to disconnect the cables from the hard drive and connect it back.....
and in that process i have to leave the hard drive out and some times it works fine for tow days after i reinstall the operating system

hi all this and this is Rex and there is an error message on my screen that is making me sick
coz every time i try to log in i cannot do that......
every time i turn on my p.c after it goes past the bios post it
gives an error "a disc read error has oucoured press Ctrl,Alt and Del to restart.....
any soloution ?
