I recently downloaded a vcd player and was playing vcd's just fine until yesterday. I was testing a vcd and all of the sudden the computer got really slow and wouldn't play the movie correctly. I re-started, same result. I tried other vcd's I had already tested and that I know worked and the problem still remained. I tried different VCD programs, same thing. What happened? Is it the cd drive? The laser? A little help please.

Thanks
