Music too fast with W2000

My Dell 4300 at work was recently upgraded from ME to 2000 Professional.
Now, CD's played with either Windows Media Player 9 or iTunes go 17% too
fast. In other words, in 60 seconds I hear what should take 70 seconds.
This not only speeds up the music but also raises the pitch. This occurs
whether I am playing directly from the CD or after importing to the computer.
What's going on here and how do I fix it?
 
There is no supported upgrade path from WinME to Windows 2000

What I did to upgrade from WinME to Win2K (several years ago) was to
wipe my hard disk and do a clean install of Win2K (formatting as NTFS),
then reinstall all my applications and user data. It was a lot of work
but well worthwhile. By the way my music plays at the right speed.

Usual cause is that the incorrect soundcard driver was installed, either
by "auto" mis-recognizing the card or "win-update" being allowed to
install the incorrect driver. Determine/identify the card and install
the correct driver from the manufacture of the card or motherboard if an
integrated sound chip.

Try updating your audio drivers.
