    Trouble with Lite on DVD-+RW ldw-400d

    The DVD-RW media was Memorex and the DVD-R media was Accu. Previously I had been able to burn video to the Memorex. Any other suggestions? Thanks

    Trouble with Lite on DVD-+RW ldw-400d

    I got this drive about a month ago. At first I had trouble with Winxp not recognizing the drive, which a registry hack fixed. Then I was able to burn a couple of test videos. Lately it's been acting up. It started by not completly burning a disk. I was using a DVD-RW disk and it would mix the...

    DVD+-RW won't work in XP - help

    Fixed it. I put the DVDrw as the master and the DVDrom as the slave. Then I edited the registry according to microsoft article #314060. I had uninstalled and reinstalled Pinnacle studio including using their registry tool to remove everything. I think this might have caused the problem. At...

    DVD+-RW won't work in XP - help

    I tried setting both drives as cable select and also tried the dvdrw as the master by itself. Neither way works. I also tried putting my old dvdrom and cdrw drives back in the way it was and those don't work either. It seems to me there is a problem in registry but I don't know where to look...

    Thanks a lot, very helpful. This is for personal use. These are actually home videos of my family when I was young. I am considering a DVD burner also for the final result so it can be played on a DVD player. We have one at work that we don't use much that I can borrow. The reason I was...

    need to replace motherboard

    I actually just replaced the the power supply. My sister's in college and she had plugged her computer into the same outlet as the window A/C unit. Even though the motherboard worked after that, could it have been 'weakened' and then failed at a later date? When I turned the computer on, the...

    computer won't POST

    The computer belongs to a friend of my dad. I'm trying to get some more detailed info, but this is what I know so far. The machine has been up and running for a year and a half. The computer was on when their dog got behind it or something, then it shut off, never to come on again. I'm thinking...

    computer won't POST

    I turn the power on and the cpu and power supply fan spin up and I can hear the HDD spin as well. But that's all it does. Nothing shows on the monitor and it doesn't beep. I tried unpluging everything but the HDD and the video card but get the same result. Also, in order to turn it back off, I...
