DVD Skips in 2000 -- Need to access DMA -- How??

[RussDogg]

My DVD player skips in Windows 2000. How do I set my DVD-Rom drive to use DMA?

Go to 'My Computer' open it. Right click on your DVD drive and click on 'Properties' in there it will have the options to activate DMA mode in a check box. What sort of DVD player did you get? I have a Pioneer slot load 16 x. Never missed a beat in the 3 months I have had it.

I have an NEC. It did the same thing in Win 98se, all I had to do is access DMA and it was fine. But in Win 2k, it won't let me do it through the device manager. I tried what you suggested, and it doesn't give me the option to access DMA? Please HELP!!!

Device Manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers -> Primary IDE Channel -> Properties -> Advanced Settings
