I own a HP Pavilion ze1210 notebook. I bought it in 2002. It has XP Office on it. My harddrive crashed (blue screen of death) in Aug, and my dad installed a new one. Here's the issue, every time I try to watch a DVD it likes to skip - to describe it you listen and watch and every 30 seconds the audio and video pauses then continues. And if I want to listen to a cd, it sounds like actual scratches while listening to it. A high-pitched rip. It does nothing to the disc, because when I listen to it/watch it it's perfect. But these problems happened in Oct, way after I installed the new harddrive. The only other thing I can think of - I updated Media Player to the newest one (I actually wanted to get the one I had before on my oldhard drive where I can actually have the play buttons on my blue start bar thingy). So there's that. Any help would be greatly appraited.
