I'm sorry but, how do I actually do this? I'm having the same problem as well: Go through the standard - defrag of your hard drive,
Clean the head of the laser in the writer
Switch off background running software and/or prevent auto updating.
What anti-virus checker and firewall do you operate (rhetorical question no need to answer)- is AV set correctly?
Some Firewall and AV's when updated change the parameters of the settings on your PC.
Just another thing, I only have this problem when I capture from my DV device. . I inquired Cyberlink on the problem. Ran a Diagnostics. They stated that I need to update my display device and sound capture. My video card is fine. So what's the problem? Do I need to add more RAM or something? And also, I should always unplug my firewire cable when done with it, right?
