Sony Internal 52x CD-ROM Drive

Sony Vaio Woes :(

By Duke - usenet poster


My girlfriend's got a laptop with these specifications:


SONY PCG-Z600TEK

Windows XP Professional.
P3 700MHz

Video Card:
ATI RAGE MOBILITY-M1 AGP
CD-ROM Drive:
TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-7002Bc SCSI
Modem:
Conexant SoftK56 Data,Fax PCI Modem
Network Card:
Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100)
Sound Card:
YAMAHA DS-XG PCI Audio CODEC (WDM)

Current BIOS Version:
R0203Z3 / RK203Z3

autoexec.bat
MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD /M:12 /V /L:G

config.sys
DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
DEVICE=VA16365.sys /ne
DEVICE=VA16CD.SYS /D:MSCD



However when she plays MP3s through Windows Media Player the songs jump/skip
a lot. This is a

very serious problem.

Recently we bought a ARTEC DVD & REWRITABLE CD DRIVE, Model - ARTEC 52X
EXTERNAL. When we

play DVD movies it's fine but frequently the movie slows down and goes
jerky. Very annoying.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Further to Chris's comments, run disk cleanup and defrag. If it is a
small HD, 8MB, you should check that there is at least 500MB free, and
if not, make that much free. Start/Run command/type: msconfig. Select
the startup tab. Uncheck the box for any entry that does not need to
run. Use this site to determine if an entry needs to run:
# Make a note of the
application that is unchecked, open that application and find the
preference or option to prevent running on startup. You might empty the
contents of C:\Windows\Prefetch. The computer will boot a bit slower
until the contents are rebuilt, but it will remove any corrupted
entries.

You don't mention how much memory she has in it,specs say it comes with 128,
max is 256, that'd be my guess as to the jerkiness. Along with the 8meg
video chip, that doesn't help either. Also, why does it need an autoexec.bat
and config.sys file running XP?
