Hey I've d/led Lord of the Rings and it's great quality. I recently had windows ME and the playback was great then I upgraded to Win2k professional edition and it won't playback good. I will skip like 3.8 seconds of the movie at at time. What could be the problem. If you think you know let me know. I have updated to all the recent drivers and d/led windows update packages. I'm running Dual Pentium 3 600mhz and 512mb of RDRAM. Matrox g450etv 32mb. Maxtor 20gig ata/100.
