Hey Everyone,
I have a HP Pavilion machine with a 333MHz Prosessor, 64 ram, and a 4 gig hard drive. Anyway, I was trying to upgrade it to Win98 Second Editon, so i could get broad band on it. When formatted it, things went haywire, But thats a diffrent post, to make a long story short, i was tried of fiddeling with it, so i took it to a friend who runs a pc repairing company. Since hes such a good friend, he did it for resonable! I got it back a few days ago. He installed 98SE and all the drivers i need. He told me my sound card was messed up so he put in a new one for me.
Before i had any of this happen, I had windows 98 Gold, and everything ran well. I use to listen to Mp3s and MIDIs on it like there was no tommorrow, I had a midi archive of over 600 MIDIS.
Now that its been fixed. I cant even listen to midis on it because if i do, the computer goes REALLY slow, ( it sometimes crashes.. when i listen to MIDIS!)
when i listen to MP3s, there so choppy it takes about 15 mins to get through a 2 min song.
My first theroy is that i prolly have too many programs runnign in the background. Usually, all i have, is Spybot Resident Sheild, AIM, and the rest of the Windows background files, Nothing fishey.
I cant figure out why i cant listen to anything on my system. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
