Sluggish/jittery behaviour while heavy draw from CDROM
Posted by K Berrien on November 9th, 2003


My machine, which didn't used to do this (3/4 of the first year I had
it) now sluggish/jitters when using the CDRW, either burning, or
reading. Mouse skips, MP3 playing distorted, etc.

Running W2k SP4. I just wiped the OS as it was hozed (and because of
this problem) and reinstalled this weekend. Problem isn't as bad, but
still VERY noticable.

Any thoughts....

Yep, optical drives on PIO mode only. Changed to DMA. I'm burning CD
at 40x, playing MP3, running Agent, Outlook without a hitch!

Thanks!
