I have a dell inspiron 6000 windows xp. and for years that i've had this laptop, there has never been any problems with it. lately, however, my audio seems to be glitchy/twitching/scratching every half a second. it's not loud, but it disrupts the flow of the music or video i'm watching. others have suggested using my earphones or speakers or headphones but that didn't fix the problem. others have said it may be the speakers or audio card itself. being too lazy, i went ahead and just watched my movies as normal. then i noticed something, each time the audio glitched, so did the video. or should i say, each time the video glitched, so did the audio. my question is, if i reinstalled the video driver from dell.com, why is it still glitching? when i move the mouse back and forth, each time the audio glitches, so does the mouse, exact timing. each time i scroll a webpage up and down, it it stutters just like the video and audio. every half second glitch affect the whole laptop.

The sound chipset on the mainboard has problem.you can buy a USB sound card and test the audio with that .if the problem moved use it or change the sound chipset from mainboard.

You can locate drivers for your Dell on the manufacturers website (www.dell.com). Click on support and then enter the name and model number of your laptop and choose your operating system. Click on audio and video drivers and follow the prompts to install the files on your pc. Good luck!

Sounds like a definite no boot issue. Turn the system on to the diagnostics (Fn + Power) see if the diagnostics show a failure. If the hard drive passes diagnostics, then boot to the XP CD and try repairing the WIndows installtion
You can also pick up the batteries less expensive than most computer places at batteries plus. And yes it sounds as though it is the batteries charge is getting low, especially if it runs fine when the battery is out and you have it plugged in.
