I have an ALL in Wonder 128, 32 MG, PCI card, Creative Labs DVD-RAM,
and a Tekram DC-390 SCSI card.  

90% of the time the DVD player works fine.  Every so often while I'm
watching a movie it will skip.  I have watched several movies.  In
some it plays fine and in others it skips every so often.  Dracula and
Can't Hardly Wait didn't have any problems.  But Saving Private Ryan
messes up predictably.  For example, it messes up in the very begining
of the movie with the DreamWorks sequence.  The first time I played
the movie it didn't do that, but it always does it now.  It was during
that first time that I played Saving Private Ryan that any skipping
happened.  I don't understand it.

I called Creative Tech support and the guy didn't seem to know what
the problem was.  He said to uninstall and reinstall all of the ATI
software & drivers.  Would that make any difference?  He also
suggested that I extract ASPI stuff by typing:

sfc
and extracting: aspix.vxd, wnaspi.dll, winaspi.dll (wnaspi.dll didn't
exist)

I'm not sure if it is the DVDs themselves that are messed up, or if it
is the drive, or the ATI DVD decoder, or the SCSI card..etc.  I have
all of the latest ATI drivers.

Could the problem be something like the DVD player got dusty?  Is
there any kind of cleaning disk for that?
