Music Skipping..??

[Tyler]

Are you sure it is the Compaq MV540? Reason I ask is all I can come up with on google is the Compaq MV540 monitor, not a desktop computer.

I doubt that it is an issue with your computer, hardware or software. Launch (Yahoo! Music) uses Windows Media Player to play their videos which are stored, transferred, and played in the WM9 codec. If your computer plays other WM files, then it's most likely skipping due to bandwidth or net congestion issues. If you want to test and verify this, first try playing this song in Windows Media Player. After that, try downloading that link using Net Transport and then play the downloaded file.

You'll know if its an Internet connection problem if you still have the problem the first time but not the second time.

Or it could simply be just lag. Have you noticed some lag in the last week?

I went through a similar panic and did an hour or so of checking driver updates, etc., and all along it was the lag!

[lpxxfaintxx]

Heh, happens to me sometimes. I know how you feel.

[vicki2]

Well, at least it got sorted out without a trip to a tech! I'm always grateful when the worst doesn't happen!!!!

no doubt... techs are theifs... they rob you blind! That is, unless you know them personally and they do it cheap/free.

yep same here, you'd think that at some point in time (hopefully soon) they can do something about the whole lag problem, it's a bit silly really
