ok heres my conundrum... i have a dvdrom.. and i can play dvds.. but whenever i try to play a new dvd (lord of the rings, spider man, or bill and teds excellent adventure, for example) they skip.. i dont think its the fact that theyre newer.. but i dont know why they would.. ive played new movies like clockstppers and eight legged frieks ... then they dont skip at all.. im wondering y in the hell these dvds skip.. if anyone has any idea please write back.. this has been bugging me for awhile and i dont know why its doing it.. im gonna try and upgrade my dvd decoder.. but i kind of assumed that being winxp its the most up to date
