Media Skipping - - Please Help!

thacelticone · 18th January 2005, 23:28

I've been having trouble with my MP3s... Whether I use Winamp or Windows Media Player (which sucks), the songs only tend to skip when I open a folder or internet explorer, or have some activity. If I don't touch anything, they play through fine, but it's really annoying...

I tried configuring DirectSound on the output menu, which I was told to do, but still nothing... I have the latest version of Winamp, and my system specs are:

Windows 2000/ME
127 MB Ram
71% Free Systems Resources
37 GB Hard Drive

Can anyone please help me?

then its suggested you try using waveout...although it does lack some of the features of directsound. try switching between the two and see if you notice a difference.

and remember to read Like the Wind, its helpful.

Just to ask, do you have the latest version of DirectX direct sound requires v8 or higher (in windows> run > dxdiag if you dont know what version you have.)
