Hi my names Winston. The specs of my computer are -
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Packard Bell
Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.06 Ghz
1.5 Gb Ram
1x DVD drive
1x Disk drive with 186Gb capacity, less than half used.
Graphics Card -
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
The problem(s) -
If I put a Dvd into my computer to play it, the video plays fine but the sound is like in slow motion. The same happens if I try to play a cd. However, if I rip the cd then it plays fine. The same goes if I download a film, the sound will play fine.
If I try to install a game, or anything for that matter, it takes an age to do so. It doesnt sound like the disk is even spinning. If I try to install a game but have music playing in the background, for example on Youtube, the sound is in slow motion again.
I know that my graphics card was installed properly, I only just started reusing the pc regularly after it had been sitting for a year. I remember not being able to watch Dvds because of the sound being in slow motion but that was the only problem at the time.
Any ideas as to what is wrong?
Thanks
p.s. sorry if this is in the wrong section
