I have a P3 450 with 330mb of ram. I run windows 98. When i use winamp to play mp3s and I open a program its causes winamp to skip. Is there any way that i can prevent this from happening. I am fairly new at all this so any help is appreciated

Yeah...what kind of sound card do you have? And you might change the priority level of the program.

mine does exactly the same thing.
when i have winamp on, and i open IE or surf to a new page, it skips or pauses for a few seconds.

however, i do run a horribly lousy system. P2 233 is just so slow, that loading IE5 takes up 98% of my processor ability.

so that's why mine hangs... i think. :)
