Weird DVD skipping problem

Dazultra2000
It's been happening for a while now, but whenever I watch a DVD, it'll play fine for about 5 minutes, and will then skip ahead 2-3 seconds. This then repeats throughout the entire film. While it doesn't seem like much, it can often mean missing an important part of dialog, and it can ruin the whole film.

Quick Outlook XP question

BladeRunner
Thanks to the great cash rebates Microsoft are currently doing on Office XP I decided to take the plunge and upgrade from Office 2000 to Office XP. So far I am liking it, some nice new features, and thankfully it's playing nice with everything else on my PC.

URLScan 2.5 Update

htsource
I was just wondering if I need to re-run the wizard to get the latest URLScan security in place. I have URLScan 2. 0 installed and configured and when I double-clicked on the new 2. 5 Update, it told me it udpated the software and it was successful, but I'm not sure if I should rerun the wizard.

New (?) LiveWare 3 for WinXP

tsonta101
Has anyone tried it yet? That is, if you didn't mind downloading around 300MB. Is there anything else in there apart from drivers and the usual creative apps (like the recorder, surround mixer etc)??? I know I will hate myself for doing it, but I will download it (using my forever trusted 56K line).

Yet another reason to NOT like XP.

Catdog02
Cutting a long story short. Since Kodak image viewer wasn't included in WinXP, my users have been forced to use Image and Fax Viewer for a. tiff file that gets sent around our network weekly. The viewer is useless, it is incredibly slow (even on 500 Meg P4's) to open the images, and navigating them is both difficul ...
