    Hello, thanks to anyone who can help. I leave my system on most of the time and I came home from work to find my system off. The front power button has a little LED in it and it was blinking on and off, with the light staying on for approx 3 seconds and off around the same amount of time. I...

    Sony DVD Burner not burning DVDs after windows XP SP2 install

    i figured out one thing that may be the problem - the system sees the drives (cd and dvd) as scsi although they are IDE. anyone know how to fix that? i tried the software route, uninstalling/reinstalling and upgrading mobo drivers/dvd drivers/etc.

    weirdness while playing mp3 files?!

    You should try something like winamp, which has all the function of the WMP, but runs much better. Also, have you checked out what processes are running when the mp3s slow? My old computer used to do that when the memory was getting taxed.

    Sony DVD Burner not burning DVDs after windows XP SP2 install

    Ill try it - the link is here: http://www.nero.com/en/nero-up.php. However, I can't even burn a DVD full of data as a backup, so I don't think this is what will do it. This is strange, as the DVD burner worked great before the install(burned over 250 DVDr's) without problem. Now it works...

    I upgraded to the new version, which took forever, but still get the same error. The computer now has nero frozen, and i cant access that drive anymore. nero is 6.3.1.20. I ripped a DVD video from that drive yesterday, so that works, along with the cd read and write from that drive, but the...

    Linksys Wireless wont connect & makes static noises!

    Okay, the status now says enabled, but its back to the same thing of not being able to do anything despite appearing connected. The IP settings look ok, but I can't ping the router. I changed the advanced box options like you said, which was different from what I had before. This change...

    Linksys Wireless wont connect & makes static noises!

    I can feel that Im getting close. At least I hope I am. However, now that I changed the settings of the card to infrastructure, I lost the linksys network from the available network box in the wireless network tab. I have it in the preferred network box, but none in the box above.
