On Windows Vista, there may be a significant delay between when you hit the "play" button and when the song actually starts playing. This could be due to Windows performing various checks on your computer's hardware. To fix this, try telling Windows not to perform these checks:
Right-click on your computer's sound icon (in your system tray), and select "Playback Devices" from the popup menu.
Select the appropriate device from the list of playback devices (often, "Speakers"), and click "Properties".
Click on the "Enhancements" tab.
Check the "Disable all enhancements" box (which might instead be called "Disable all sound effects").
Go figure... I have a laptop with Vista and have had no issues with this. I have a desktop with XP and have ALWAYS had that time lag between pushing the button and when play actually commences.

Thanks Bob. I also have a laptop with Vista. The problem I experience is that my program will be running and the sound will suddenly stop. The lights keep flashing to the music, but no music. Will this fix this problem as well?
