dvd skip

Hi,
Have you updated the files for your video card?
It could be your card needs updating with the lastest drivers (files).
Go to the manufacturer's website for your card, and download the latest files for the card.
This might be the cause.
Best of luck,
fredg

Well, Thanks ..

before i install new video driver for my computer i already facing this problems than i update new video driver the problems also still occur.
After email to the msi offical tech support they told me to bring down the rom to check which is very troublesome

What i suspect it might be the DVD burn lens start to wear off or there is in suffiecnt of the ram my background(window) application consumming lot of the ram i think so
