What do you mean by Windows is skipping? What is it doing
(or not doing)?

well with cd's etc, its like the cd's scratched, but it does the same in media player, and with word etc it just pauses for a second or two, then carries on,gets worse when its hot.

Sounds like you have a celeron processor and low memory. Can you confirm?

no, pentium 4, but yeah, not huge amounts of memory, not sure about ram, but hard drive is pretty low, <2gb remain, any advice?

Check to see if the fan on the P4 is running or in need of a clean out
