CD Skipping from song to song
I am running windows 98 on a cyrix 686 200 with 32 mb ram. I have an atapi CD-ROM in the machine, and when I put audio cd's in the thing they skip from song to song, playing just the first few bars of each song, then on to the next. This continues persistently.
I have replaced the CD ROM, the cable, switched it from master to slave and from primary to secondary, and have had no luck.
In the past the thing worked just fine.
Any ideas?

Thanks for both those comments, I will try them out tonight when I get home from work.

Yeah, sounds like your CD Player application is set to "Intro" play mode...turn that off and see if it helps.

No problem. Glad to be of service!
Next run scandisk and defrag from safemode.

Do you remember adding or removing any software or hardware prior to this happening? Did you by chance change something in the Virtual Memory settings? Since you have only 32MB's of RAM your Virtual Memory (swap file) probably needs to be set to a rather high size. It also could be that this swap file has gotten rather messed up.
