Running Windows XP, Pentium 4, 2GB Ram, When playing DVD's, about 80% through the play, the screen freezes as if perhaps I ran out of RAM or something. I have used 3 different software programs to run the DVD's, to include Realplayer, and Windows Media Player, and they all do the same thing, some just get a little further than others. My PC health shows my RAM to be at about 1.3 GB at the point when it freezes, and I can select to free RAM which does not help. If I restart the media player and start it at the point that it froze I can usually watch the rest of the DVD, but I shouldn't have to do that. If I made any mistakes on technical jargen, please just read between the lines, I'm sure you get the point. any idea's on how to clear this problem?
thanks
