    Give us some information on your system and we can look into it:

    Please start dxdiag:
    Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
    Windows Vista: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.

    Now click on the button that says "save all information".
    It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it.


    Now you have two options to make it accessible for us. Pick the one that works best for you:
    1. If you know how, you can zip the file and attach it to a message.
    2. You can upload it to Rapidshare and copy the link to the file into a new message.

    Which is good. That's why we should look at your system's specification as described above.

    Thanks.

    Sadly I don't see why it should not work.

    You could try updating your drives Firmware (be careful to choose the one for your model) and updating your Windows XP to SP3. Maybe SP3 that brings some new drivers that work better with your dvd-drive.

    It's not related, but while you're at it you could update your sound card drivers.
    Those you use are from 2003.
