slow playback of cd and dvd

[bill]

i can burn a cd from my wmp library but when i play a cd or dvd they play at
a slower speed than normal this just started today everything has been fine
for 2 years i'm using wmp 11 i can not adjust playback speed on enhancements
pleeease help!!!!

Under Enhancements, is there a button named "Snap slider to common speeds"?
If there is, make sure it is checked.

It is checked but it does not change speeds. I also ripped music from a cd
and it plays fine on the media player. but playing a cd direcly from the
drive plays slow and choppy. can it be a problem with the motor in the drive?
it does seem to take longer to burn or rip than it used to. It also seems
that wmp10 was faster at burning and ripping. Can I go back to wmp 9 or 10 to
see if the wmp10 is the problem. I just upgraded to wmp10 a month ago.

I amde a mistake I meant to say is wmp 11 the problem and I upgraded to wmp11
not 10. Sorry for the confusing.

Yes, I highly recommend you go back to v10. V11 was mainly written for
Windows Vista, not XP. See notes below.
