I think the dvd/cd drive on my new pc is a bit dodgy. any time i put
a cd in the drive (either a game, or music cd) it causes live radio streams,
or music I am playing back via Windows Media Player or Napster to skip like
crazy. Also, anything I have copied to CD seems to take longer to copy than previous cd drives using the same speed. another thing i have noticed is that when the drive is in use the mouse pointer is either very unsteady, or freezes altogether. also when i am typing text the text does not appear on the screen at the same rate as i am typing it, there is a 2 or 3 second delay before what i have types appears on the screen.
is there anything I can do to fix this, looks like some fine tuning required? is there a test that can be run to check it is functioning properly, or
any tools to check it out?
thanks
