TalkingSoft.com Forums: dvd trouble. please help - TalkingSoft.com Forums

I am so lost here. please help. I am trying to watch several different dvds in my dvd player and each time I try to play them, the sound is very off and the video is too. It sounds like it keeps skipping.. I am very new to dvd players in computers. lol. I am using PowerDVD 5.0 (it is what came with my dvd player)
Does anyone out there know what I could download to make the skipping and the slow playback stop? Please help!!
I am running windows xp


Thanks in advance

what are the specs of your computer??
