Question：Dear Microsoft,
I'm having a strange problem with Media Player 11 in Vista Ultimate x64. I tried to rip a new CD I got and all of the tracks were ripped just fine except the last 2. Media Player started ripping the 2nd to last track but then paused at 10% for about 10-15 seconds, then continued with the rip. The same thing happened with the last track.
After listening to all of the songs, those last two tracks had brief distortions in them. So I tried ripping them again but without any luck. The same scenario would repeat with each attempt. So I took an older CD and tried to rip a song from it but with the same problem of Media Player 11 pausing at 10% momentarily, and then continuing with the rip (but with brief distortions in the song during playback). The distortions are always in roughly the same spot.
I took my CD to a different computer that has Vista Home Premium x32 and did not have any problems ripping the songs and there were no distortions afterwards.
I briefly looked around some internet message boards and several other people have the same issue with seemingly no resolution.
Why is this happening? Enabling error-correction in Media Player 11 fixes the distortion problem but it takes 5 times as long to rip a CD.
Additional info: I have an Asus 48x32x48 SATA DVD combo drive that has the latest firmware. I also have the latest motherboard/SATA controller drivers installed.

Answer 2： If you use ReadyBoot, I would try it without that. The speed of ripping is controled by available resources. the ReadyBoost may obstruct that.
Answer 3： Thank you for your super fast reply, but no I am not using ReadyBoost.
I actually thought that was the case of ripping being affected by available resources. I completely shutdown my security suite and even disabled my internet/network connection and tried ripping my CD again, but the same situation persists.
I suppose I'll have to wait for service pack 2. I had a slightly annoying problem of PowerPoint 2007 not copying over *all* of the formating from older PowerPoint slides. It would keep font sizes and types but would left-align all text. That issue wasn't ever resolved until the first Office 2007 service pack was released. :(
