Skipping audio in the trimmer tool?

Ok my first problem today was pilot error ...here's something new today as well.

When I click on a file in the media pool to open directly into the trimmer window the audio skips at one second intervals on the first play through..upon second playback of the file it plays fine...
sounds like a buffer issue or something right?

the funny thing is if I drag the file from the media pool to the timeline and then click on the file in the timeline to open in the trimmer tool...NO audio skipping.

as a side question how is VEGAS affected by XPs FILE INDEXING...I turned it off because it was killing the performace of my Audio software. (Protools)..would this be a factor?

any thoughts? thanks

The trimmer tool isn't buffered, but audio shouldn't be stuttering. I'd be looking at other things in that event. Timeline is buffered, so if you've loaded it to the timeline, it's buffered. Trimmer and Explorer (AFAIK) are the only non-buffered areas.

I also have Indexing turned off.

This is all footage I've used before for a DVD project..I'm just pulling it up to get clips for a TV promo. This stuttering never happened before ( actually it's like a low end buzzing pulse version of the audio...buzzzzzzzzz,,,,,,buzzzzzzzzzzz,,,,buzzzzzzzzzz. After I play over the section once it plays fine. The only thing I've done recently was turn off INDEXING ( though I checked running applications and CIADAEMON.EXE was back in the list) and defraged the drives. I must have something going on in the background that is keeping a measly AVI/stereo audio file from playing. I have networking disabled and clicked off all the virus /spyware stuff form the tray.
Though I notice quite a few Mcafee applications still running in the list. I don't think defrag would break up a contiginous file would it?

I'm at a loss right now.
Nice to hear from you SPOT

thanks for the replies

Well I pulled an old SF express reverb plugin I had on a track thinking it would be a low cpu plug..and things cleared up. Thats what I get for using old Plugins. Maybe it wouldn't do 48k 24bit.
