	What speed is your CD-ROM running at?  Push that setting down and that
should help you out a little bit -- I remember when I upgraded from my
1x to 2x, and then from a 2x to a 4x -- there is a difference in how
fast the whole thing runs.
	If you want to work at it, run it at 1x, and then you can slowly build
it up (I have mine set to 2x...and it is a little better then the 3x
setting).
