hic-cupped and out of sync

[billyo]

i removed my anti virus and i'm still getting the audio dropouts , this time it's at the outmost end of a song ( 50sec. ) i kinda noticed something at the bottom right corner of my laptop that's kinda flickering.( index, looks like a magnifying glass icon )) i clicked on it and clicked on snooze, and i am playing the 2nd song right now and no dropouts so far..i a going to re-install norton anti virus and i'll see what happens..
