I have a dell inspiron 6000, with a dvd drive. I've installed Roxio Easy media creator 8, evertyhing was perfect, until i insert a data disc, the computer became freezed! and the problem is with every disc, it looks like a conflict, because i leave the computer, for like 20 minutes, and when i came back, the computer was normal, and allow me to use it like nothing happened. I uninstalled the Roxio Software and the problem was solved,
I'm saving picture and video files on separate DVD-RWs. I have Easy CD Creator 5x basic that came w/ the computer and updated it with the patch 5.3.5.10_basic. I pulled my first DVD from a year ago out and added pictures onto it from this year's trip. Original files were there as expected and additions were no problem. Secondly, I started a 2nd disc of all video wmv files. I filled that one to the hilt and do not wish to add to what little room is left.My settings are set thusly: "The selected Record Method finalizes the session. The CD itself is not finalized so additional sessions can be added later. To change this setting click options."Actually, this is the setting I prefer, but in the case of the second disc, it's full for me now and if I wish to possibly play it on my DVD player it needs to be finalized.Problem is, this option isn't available (appears all faded-out) when I click on file, and appears the same to the lower right when I'm looking at disc properties. Only real option in bold black at these times is ERASE, and I don't want to do that! The discs play great on my computer, all material is recognized, etc., but this inability to finalize has me confused. Certainly in theory, a RW disc by its nature will never be truly finalized. Is that what's holding things up? I do believe I should be able to finalize these,
I have updated to win xp from win me. The Adaptec Easy CD Creator will not work as a message comes up saying "Drivers are not compatible and could cause problems" so they don't load when I have reinstalled the program.This came with my computer when I bought it with win ME. I have the original disk. I have looked at the web site which now is Roxio, but cannot get a straight answer as to what and where the drivers are to download. They keep wanting me to buy their ver. 10 which is $70. All I want is the program I had before no fancy technical program. I just copied some floppy's and cd's. I don't need all that photo stuff that is on the new program. Also do not need to copy DVD's.I read about registry, but don't want to mess with that after getting my computer running smooth now that I have the Win XP installed.What drivers do I need? When I find a web page their are so many I don't know what to do.
I have Roxio Easy CD Creator but can't burn MP3s to a CD. The Roxio Drag and Drop always has the CD drive locked. I get an error in Easy Cd Creator about this. I can't find any way to turn off Drag and Drop.
I am looking for a free PDF creator program that is easy to use. I need to deploy this on about 50 PCs in my office and it needs to be idiot proof, I looked at some of the open source PDF creators and they work well but have too many options for users to screw up. I just want something that lets you print to the PDF printer and then save the file as PDF.
I've been having a small problem with Roxio's Easy CD Creater 6. I installed the program on my computer an I was able to burn Cds and DVDs ok. Then I installed iTunes to connect to my iPod. I then tried to use Roxio and it could not find my DVD RW drive!! I then uninstalled Roxio and then installed it again. I could then find the DVD RW drive but iTunes said it could not initiallize the drivers to burn CDs. How do I setup my computer so I can use multiple CD/DVD buring software packages?
i needed to reformat win xp home and i cannot install Roxio because the upgrade advisor is incorrectly reporting incompatibility. (i am at win xp sp2) I did thisds before and it reinstalled nicely a copla years ago Microsft recognizes it they had a page on it in Help and Support (i put in Roxio Creator 5.1 Basic. it told me to try a couple things but to no avail and the workaround says ignore it..IGNORE? HOW?It can't be ignored cause it won't let me install. this is the disc that came with the puter (Dell Dimension 8100) a few years ago. would anybody have any ideas of how to install Roxio (i cannot afford to buy any new software right now and using WMP 10 is just not as comfortable Roxio is easy and it also writes text so the name of each tune that have bought and burned to a CD-R that I play shows up on my car CD player.
I have a new computer that came pre-installed with WinXP Media Center Edition 2002 SP2. I was also sent the discs for WinXP MCE 2005. I have tried to updgrade the original installation and then perform a clean install. In both cases after the installation, when I check properties on My Computer it says WinXp MCE 2002 SP2. Shouldn't it say 2005 MCE?
After burning CDs for some time with success, both video and music, I'm getting "Writing Errors" when trying the same thing lately, ruining the CD. Here's what I've done so far:Changed the brand of CD from Phillips to Maxell got "write errors" Went from Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator to Windows Media Player same problem.Tried to contact Roxio tech support.they make it almost impossible, no results Tried to contact Sony (software for the Roxio).they gave me a phone number that ended up being the Hilton Hotel! Then, when I called back, Sony was closed.Went to my "old" Compaq computer running Win98SE, and can burn Roxio CDs successfully, but the system is too slow for video.Hope this is enough info for you expert-type people - I'm trying to avoid system restore.
ROXIO version of GOBACK being the cause of the problem. when I had to do a reinstall of windows and noticed that Windows Explorer wasn't showing my second and third drives.I know and very easily fixable by going into Disk Management. drives were showing in Disk Management, there was no letter assigned to them.
I have replaced my hard drive completely. One thing I really miss about my old setup was that I had Roxio disc copier, which really came in handy for my job. Since I no longer have the application CD that it came on, I am slightly SOL and have to spend a lot of time burning copies from media player.Does anyone know of a simple, free program that will allow me to copy a disc that is in the D: drive to a blank one in the E: drive?
I bought a new pc with xp already installed. It's telling me to make a recovery cd and also to copy the recovery tools to cd. How do I get a recovery tools cd or if it's already installed, where is it?

I am looking to reformat my Compaq Presario V5002EA laptop with windows XP home edition SP3. Having read various forums it seems there should be an option in my 'Start > All Programs' menu to begin a system recovery program. Within this program there should be an option to create a set of Recovery Discs from which I could do the reformat.
I can't find this option anywhere on the computer and would prefer not to fork out �31 to HP if I can create the discs myself! Can someone please tell me how to find the Recovery Disc Creator?
I have a HP Pavillion computer and one of the programs, Memories Disc Creator, had a corrupt file. I was told by HP to perform a couple of tasks to try to bring it back and the end result was the file is now gone. HP sent me a series of discs to do a complete system recovery. I endanger losing all my installed programs. I have an external 80gb drive. Can I put all the programs on that drive and then have a quick reinstallaion of all the programs? Is there another way in which to access the program other that a complete recovery?
neither wmp 11 or roxio recognizes a blank disc. when i try to burn a disc (dvd or cd) both wmp 11 and roxio tells me to insert a blank disc. i have tried putting a disc in first, or wait for the program to tell me to insert disc but neither way works!:
Use this if you just want to display your IP address and not the extra information (default gateway / subnet mask)Simply copy and paste the following into notepad@echo.@ipconfig | find "IP Address"@echo.@pauseAnd save as IP.BAT (save to your windows dir if you want to be able to access it anywhere)Now when you type IP you will see:---------------------------IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : x.x.x.xPress any key to continue . . .---------------------------(information about the code: @echo. produces a blank line, @ipconfig | find "IP Address" causes the output of ipconfig to be piped to the find command, which looks for the line containing "IP Address", find then outputs your IP address, @pause causes the terminal to wait for user input before continuing. The @ before each command tells the terminal not to echo the command being typed.)
An easy way to hide the Recycle Bin is just to create two .reg files.... open your notepad and copy and paste the listing below and save it as Hidebin.reg and click the .reg file to enter it into the registry. You have to refresh the desktop to see the changes.

Having recently had someone else using my computer for a while, installing various software (like winamp and SubEdit player) it seems windows media player (that's what I use) no longer recognises the usual files as media files like .mp3 .wmv .m3u .avi etc etc so when I click open file and select "media files (all types)" in the file type box it shows nothing, so I have to change it to all files which is irritating. Media player still plays everything fine but this is pretty annoying.
I cannot ping xp computers. I can ping win2k machines all day long. The xp boxes are running sp2, but I have a policy in effect that disables the firewall. I also have a policy in effect that renames the administrator and guest accounts. IF the firewall is disabled is there any reason that any of these machines would not respond to a ping request. Wouldn't be a big deal, but my print tracking app requires it. All XP machines can communicate with the network just fine. I can ping anything from each XP machine successfully.
I am using a borrowed computer which has Windows XP installed. I am having difficulty getting a brand new game to load a saved file. I don't know where to look to do a scandisk on this OS.
When I opened up the case, the northbridge heatsink clip had snapped off. I put the case on it's side and reseated the heatsink, and put a case fan over it. I reformatted and installed winXP. The computer freezes a minute or so after entering windows. Also ran ubuntu linux off a usb stick and it would freeze after 5 or so minutes. Ran memtest and no errors after 9 hours, Speedfan s.m.a.r.t says the hard drive is fine. I booted into Safemode, and ran orthos small ffts cpu test, and no errors after an hour.
I installed XP Pro 64-Bit to run alongside my Windows 7 install - unfortunately XP did not detect Windows 7 and I used EasyBCD in XP to create the start-up dual-boot entrys...windows 7 (C) - default Windows XP (E) 3 seconds
Instead of going into the register, it is simpler to open Windows Explorer, find the .exe file that you want, right-click on it and choose send to desktop.
As mentioned in another question, I need to design and maintain a website to show and sell my wife's artwork. It will be as simple as I can make it, very clean and straightforward, consisting of text and photos of the work for sale and a method of ordering and paying. So I'm essentially looking for a program without a lot of bells and whistles--a program that will make the process as easy as possible for me. I'm a very senior citizen and although I can slowly make my way around in this business, I'm not much of a computer whiz.
Does someone know of an application that makes personal information like Name, Address, Phone, password (s),etc. available to be pasted when required. Like using the right click to select various entries.
