   I have a 5920G with 15.4"screen. Came with Vista but I have installed XP. The first time I installed XP I could play DVD movies just fine, but now they play jerky. They play jerky, slow, and the sound has a metallic ping to it. Reinstalling XP and drivers has not helped. I m running a hacked video driver but that was there before the issues started. Any advice?

   not sure why it is jerky, what player are you using? is your windows fully updated? updated to WMP12?

   Uninstall your current driver and give this one a shot

   Thank You Morris,
   i use GOM player and VLC player, both give me the same effect. I don't use windows media player.
   remember that in the US this laptop does not support windows XP. I had to get all of the drivers for XP from international acer websites. Still this should have nothing to do with this problem.
   Thank you for the driver, I will try it soon. The fact that the sound is also messed up makes me think the problem has to do with the dvd drive itself. Can I upgrade the firmware on this drive somehow?
