I have installed an Artec 16X DVD-Rom drive. I am able to play DVD's with no trouble, but if I attempt to open my mail or something like that the DVD playback starts hesitating and jumping. Is there something I can do to correct this? I am running the following:
Windows XP Pro AMD Athlon 1.4 Ghz 640 MB SDRAM memory DVD-Rom is the master of the 2 CD-ROM's (other is a burner)

Digital Images and playback are very CPU intensive.
Running other applications will cause 'interrupts' to the video processing which you 'see' as jerky playback.
A faster CPU, Higher Capacity Video Card with more memory and mre system memory might help. But then it would also be cheaper to buy a DVD player and watch the movie on the TV set!
Otherwise enjoy the movie and wait for email till after the movie is finished.
