    Ejecting a CD/DVD disk gives blue screen

    Ejecting a CD/DVD disk gives blue screen

    The version is Roxio Creator Plus - Dell Edition. I have all the fixes for the OS and Roxio. If I burn directly, Roxio has to be off and so there is no problem. I'll give Nero a try and let you know. It may be awhile.

    strange problem with Outlook Express

    If I have Check Spelling turned on in Outlook Express, when I click on send I get the following popup - The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the 'Microsoft Digital Image Standard 2006 Editor' dick and click OK. If check...

    Printers/papers

    Right now I am using an HP 932c for my foto work and am very pleased with it. However, as it is an out of date model, I can't suggest you get one. If I were getting a new printer, I would consider HP, or Canon, with multi ink cartridges, at least 4 probably 6. Many folks like and use Epson...

    AVG .bin files

    How long must the .bin files for AVG be kept? They are under Explorer, Windows, All Users, Application Data, Grisoft, Avg7Data, upd7bis. And also the log files, and history files?

    Found a hidden folder called GTek in Windows (Explorer), All Users, Application Data, GTek. There were several sub folders the last two having further sub folders some with files - .ini, .pk, .tmp, and many .ucl totaling 1.21 MB. If deleated it renewed itself on a re-boot, even if deleated in...

    bit depth

    Using Photoshop LE the print command is greyed out if I have a foto at 16 bits instead of 8 bits. Is this normal?

    unexpected end-of-file

    The only other programme I have to open fotos is Word and in that I get a message saying there was an error in opening the file.

    unexpected end-of-file

    A few times I have gotten a pop-up saying Could not open (name of file) because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered. I have gotten this with PSD and TIFF files. Just what is this and what causes it?

    Tone curves

    This is for Limited Edition. How does one use the Tone curves - such as 'TonePlatinum.acv'? Some long time past I was able to put them to use but have forgotten how I did it. I know they aren't a part of LE, but I was able to use them.

    Scanned Slides - Grain and Quality.

    There are many good ones, you could go to the various web sites - Minolta, Canon, &c. Or go to a dealer's web site such as B&H to see what's available and prices. I use the Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual II - the new version is III. And for the money I think it can't be beat. It's limited to 35mm, but...

    Scanned Slides - Grain and Quality.

    If you are going to scan slides on a regular basis, I suggest you get a film scanner. Flatbeds just don't hack it. And 300 is way too low for film (35mm) - 2000 at least, more if your scanner will handle it. And keep the foto in TIFF, JPEG will cut into the quality. After you've done everything...

    film scanner

    Just checked the instructions for the Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual II (no longer available, but as the III is the replacement it should be the same) and it will scan a strip of film (or 4 slides) or a roll of APS at once. I've never used it for 'batch scanning' so I wasn't aware that it would do it...

    film scanner

    You can get the Minolta for $289.95 plus $129.95 for the APS, $419.90. The Pacific Image 1800AFL, $299.95, will batch scan but has no APS. If you must have both, you will just have to go the various makers sites and see what thay have.

    film scanner

    mbroumbe, the cheapest Prime Film 1800u I've seen is $229.95 (list $349.99). Where did you find one for "around $150 or less"? I also notice that they advise not enlarging greater than 5x7. Have you been able to beat that? And if you are asking me, I have been a professional...

    film scanner

    I've never noticed any film scanners locally, but then I haven't been looking for one. I order all of my photo equipment and supplies, and most of my digital equipment and supplies. In fact, every thing except my computer. You might ask one of you local stores if they will order one for you. If...

    film scanner

    If you want quality, you will need a film scanner. Flat-bed scanners are just not good at scanning film. regardless of the dpi stated. If a film scanner will scan at 2000 dpi it is 2000 dpi, for a flat bed it is most likely interpolation if they say 2000. But even if it is true dpi, the film...
