DVD Rom problems I am experiencing problems with DVD playback, the DVD player will play video & audio for a few seconds, then it runs sort of in a slow motion in jerky movements, or stops altogether and then it restarts again. Basically stop and go situation. The problem just started a couple days ago, I had no problem before. I have performed every possible test and diagnostic service that Dell provided on my computer, but to no avail. I know it's not the playback software that I am using (PowerDVD loaded by Dell) as the same problem occurs when I am using the MS Media Player or Real Player. The DVD ROM that Dell installed on my computer is Samsung SD-616T. Unfortunately my warranty has expired so I cannot get any help from Dell. Can anyone help? Please? Thanks in advance. Paul
Yeah, companies that dont help you just because your warranty has expired are complete losers. Just taking a wild guess, are you positive you do not have a virus/spyware? If I were you, I'd sell the old DVD-ROM on ebay and get a new one from newegg.com(great prices/service). Sorry I cant be of further help
