Added information:
find movies will play when using Roxio media player--this seems to suggest
the basic problem would be with the xp installation--I have no idea how to
isolate or correct it--any suggestions will really be --Thanks again --Mel

Have a problem with playing movies on my DVD drive--Plays to 7.5 Min and the
picture remains stationary but audio continues to run through the rest of
the disk without hesitation.
System is as follows
MB MSI MS 6380 E
Windows XP Home---NTFS sp2
HD 120 GB
Mem 768 +-
play back using either Windows player or Fusion soft--Both exhibit the same
problem
Started with a Sony DRU-800A drive--Installed a new Sony DRU-840A
drive --same problem
I have a second desktop identical to this one and the disks play without
problems--Also 2 laptops play any disk without hesitation.
Really at a loss and would appreciate any advice one or more can offer--Many
thanks --Mel

DVD playback with movies in xp require DVD playback encoding software
along with WMP.The software is 3rd party,(power DVD,or similiar),although
ATI video cards include such software..Go to microsoft WMP home,audio/video,
locate the venders..
