Michael, Can I suggest That you go to your profile and add your details such as the PC or whatever you are using, the amount of memory, cpu type and speed, the software, sound card. See how Matt has it all added. As do quite a number of other forum users. This makes helping you with your issues a lot easier.

It could be your pc is a little under powered or maybe the buffers might need setting but without all the details it makes it hard to help.

As I said on another of your posts something such as Groove3 will show you a lot of the answers.

Just a thought.
