Hello all,
I have a Gateway GT5238E.
Has plenty of memory (1 gig) and processors to do whatever I have needed at the same time with little drop in speed or performance, but for some reason now when I am running dvdshrink backing up a dvd and I go to listen to music on Windows Media Player, the music is garbled and unlistenable. When dvdshrink stops, the music plays fine.
This was never an issue before, i could do both without any issues, but now it seems like there is something gobbling up resources.
I look under task manager, and have changed the priority on dvdshrink to low and media player to above normal, but that hasn't helped.
I haven't added any programs or changed anything, it just suddenly started doing it.
I am at a loss.

Any ideas anyone?

As always, any help is appreciated.

Thanks
