Solution for choppy media playing on Acer Aspire One

I've just found a 'one click' solution for anybody having problems with choppy, stuttering or stopping streaming media, both audio and video and local and online, on their Acer Aspire One, which will probably work on other laptops and PC's.

After searching for a solution for mine, including reinstalling drivers, crap cleaning, etc, etc, I found this website http://winhlp.com/node/10 with a link and all information about the problem. The script in the link automatically installs to the registry and resets the direct memory access for any of your drives, thus clearing the problem. It has worked a treat on mine.

Please note the link on the website will only work in Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Hope this helps if you are having problems. ;)

    Also note that the Aspire One you have may not be the same Aspire One someone else has. The aforementioned 'solution' only applies to those systems running certain flavours of Windows.

    True, the info isn't specific to the AAO anyway but XP, so hope this helps if anybody is having problems.

    Read the info on the link page first and install at your own risk of course.
