I need help (yeah yeah...)
I brought some cd's into work to play on my pc here as I'm fed up sitting in silence most days. I put the cd in the disk drive and then opened Windows Media Player and clicked on play audio cd. BUT it plays them at a fast speed. Alison Goldfrap sounds like Mickey Mouse!! I've had a look around the control panel and can't find anything relating to speed played. What can I do?
It's a Compaq PC, pentium 4 processor, running Windows 2000 (I think) if that helps? Also Steve often sends me funny videos and they play at the right speed on the same WMP

Lol! I quite like the idea of Mickey singing Utopia!
Sorry Dolly, I have no idea why it would be playing at a faster speed... I have never heard of this problem before. Can you not rip the CDs onto the Hard drive, then play them from that? But then again it might rip em Chipmunk style.
Hmm.
Do you have a home PC? You could rip some Cds as WMAs and stick a few albums worth on a CDR, long winded I know but that might work.
