If the audio is sounding like it's buffering, it sounds like your hard
disk needs a bit of maintenance. Have you performed a scan disk or a
disk defragmenter? Just a couple of suggestions there. Hope that helps,
and good luck!

Hi george,thanks a lot for getting back to me re the Win 98 buffering problem.turns out it probably wasn't buffering !. I try to isolate the problem by burning the offending files with Nero and they performed perfectly both in a seperate mp3 player ,as well as in the computers cd drive,however when played directly from the hard disk via Windows media player the buffering like audio is again repeated,so does this eliminate buffering? or perhaps a sound card problem?other mp3 files also display the same buffering affectwhen played directly from the hard disk .could you suggest any other tests I could try out?.Thanks again .Alan

I hate to say this, but "meagre resources" is something of an understatement. Upgrading the memory will possibly help, but you may just be throwing good money after bad for this application.
I don't know about where you are located, but here in Northampton in the U.K. for example, there are one or two second hand dealers who will sell you a PIV for not much more than 256 megs of new memory.
