I purchased WinDVD Gold 8 to view my DVDs but everytime its in use the movie pauses 5 to 6 minutes every so often. I called the company and they told me to download the latest graphics driver, which I did, but the problem still exists. I'm not sure if its the software or some other problem with the laptop. I have a Compaq Presario V200 with Windows XP Professional purchased in April of 2006. Everything else works fine except for this constant pausing of dvds. Please help!!!
