Hi everyone, My name is Shawn, I'm a studio musician, (have been playing for 25 years) I taught at the Grove School of Music in LA... I've also been doing tech support and IT for 12 years, for Visanet, HP, Verizon, and Realtor.com.

In recent months, I drifted away from the tech support profession in favor of graphic and web design, photography and videography.

I don't know if anyone is still having this issue, but I'm sure someone will search the web for a solution. The simplest solution would be to Uninstall the Primary or Secondary IDE channel (Whichever one your DVD player is on) from the Device Manager window, then reboot, allowing Windows to re-install the drivers and sort everything out from scratch!

Usually when DVD/CD slowdown or stuttering starts happening out of no where, it's because your IDE driver is corrupted, and uninstalling and allowing Windows to reinstall will fix it.
