I had to clean out a friends laptop, due to high infestation. He didn't have
the original discs so I reloaded it with a brand new windows xp home edition.
It will play dvds but when I do, the sound stutters ( it does play cds ) It
is a fujitsu lifebook 2120- if that matters. This once happened to me with my
dell. I had to reload windows and the dvd sound stuttered. I called dell and
after 3 hrs of phone tech support, the gentleman sent me a patch to download
and asked if I had recently updated windows. I was so happy to finish the
phone call, I never found out exactly what happened. can someone explain this
to me and help me get back quality dvd sound?

What dvd playing software did you install? Have you looked for updates to
this? Updates to the audio and video cards?
