Yes, I have removed the disc using the paper clip method you suggested but it made no difference. Thanks anyway though for the suggestion (and the bump)

Long, boring story short: I flashed my Nec ND-3500 drive with a hacked firmware and accidentally left a DVD in the drive while updating the firmware, and now the drive looks to be hosed? Here?s the long, boring version for anyone who feels like taking pity on me and giving some advice. I...

I?m looking for a CD\MP3 player. Here are my main concerns: 1) Volume. I don?t need blood to actually be FLOWING from my ears, but I would definitely like a healthy level of volume available. Probably most subjetive quality I could name, but I thought I should throw it out there just the same...

I too have had this problem, on my Dad?s computer running clean installation of Windows XP Professional and a PPPoE DSL connection. I have downloaded all available updates from Windows Update and the problem persists. I am using XP?s built-in PPPoE support. Invariably it will eventually...

John- Try going here. The link contains XP Powertoys, which includes the TweakUI for WinXP that Andy referenced.

Hey, Just finished reading an interesting recordable DVD format article over here: http://www.tech-report.com/reviews/2002q1/dvdrw/index.x?pg=1 at the Tech Report. My question is this, based on the compatibility testing on this page...

In case anyone is curious? I updated the firmware from version 1.07 to version 1.09 and it solved the problem. I would have updated the firmware sooner, but when I was scanning the firmware description I couldn?t find anything in them that seemed to apply to my specific problem.

Sweet, I?ll give that a go tonight. Hopefully it?ll help. I assume you?re talking about one of those cd cleaners that you can pick up at Radio Shack or most CD stores ? Thanks a lot 007, appreciate the advice. P.S. Yeah it is my only CD drive and I use it a lot for general purpose stuff as...

Hey, I have a 32\12\10A Plextor CD-RW (which I?ve had for almost exactly a year ) running as the Secondary Master (and only drive on the channel) on a EpoX 8KhA+ under WinXP Pro and it has refused to recognize the last 3 store bought audio CDs I have purchased. What happens is I put the CD in...

My question is why hasn?t NVIDIA made more of an effort to push the Personal Cinema ? Surely there are a few bucks to be made in such a market, and it seems to be one of the very few areas where NVIDIA isn?t aggressively going after ATI?s market share. With the MX line they went for ATI?s...

I am running Winamp 2.50E on Windows XP Pro. Is there ANY way to get Winamp to ADD my new MP3 selections to the existing playlist, instead of it merrily wiping out the previous playlist that took me about 30 min to create, but I had temporarily forgotten about ? I try selecting ?Enqueue as...

Currently running ATI AIW Radeon on the Epox 8KHA+ in a dual boot with W98 and XP and MMC 7.5 with absolutely no issues, stability or otherwise. Speaking of that board, it?s also running flawlessly.off an Enermax 350 Watt PS I mention this only because I?d heard some troubling things about...

I knew I would get killed in this forum for mentioning EZ CD Creator. I also use Nero. I agree it is better ? you?re all preaching to the converted. I tried using Mark R?s advice using the latest version of Nero as my burning program ? even the mighty Nero still failed to add 100 MB to the...
