    Trouble burning DVD-RW

    No. It supports both though I've only ever used DVD-RW in it. I tried again, it started to work but then cut off saying 'power calibration error'

    Trouble burning DVD-RW

    I used to use DVD-RW to back up files on my laptop. However recently I tried with some old discs and the burning process failed. I've just purchased new ones and am having the same problem. If I try to burn in Nero, the burning process fails almost straight after formatting, if I try in windows...

    C Drive Full

    Had some incomplete bittorrent downloads, just freed up around 5gb using TreeSize. Thx. Also about moving the My Documents folder I don't see any Move target option when I right click the desktop shortcut and go to properties. And one other thing, if I were to use System Restore would I...

    C Drive Full

    My HD is split into the C drive and a D drive. My C drive is almost 10 gb however currently it seems that I have virtually no free space on it. Apparently the Documents and Settings folder is 11.5 gb (obviously impossible as the drive is only 10 gb) yet when I enter it and look at the size of...

    Worth £549.99?

    ^ Initially thats what I thought but considering the price and the fact that it only misses a few things from the one I was going to build for £700, I'm not sure. Corrected the link.

    Worth £549.99?

    So having made this thread Worth the money and virtually deciding on the set-up I noticed this deal http://www.medion.co.uk/ Its the one on the top left, the 8810. I would be adding another stick of 1gb RAM to it later. Also I don't know if the graphics card included with it is any good for...

    Worth the money?

    Ok thx, don't want to risk losing all the components so I'll go with one of the PSU's you recommended. What about a sound card? I'm not sure how much that will cost.

    Worth the money?

    Seeing as that RAM costs £181.84, would I not be able to buy two sticks of this instead? Its still 800 mhz Kingmax 1GB 240-Pin DIMM PC2-6400 Non-ECC CAS 5 £75.91 each Or is the Corsair a lot better? Also what about the PSU's on here: http://www.thesystemworks.co.uk/

    Worth the money?

    ^ Hmmm....that should just fit in the budget, probably go with the Asus and the Enermax. The RAM I linked to is 800mhz so thats ok then right? Eh, to stick within budget I think I'll end up going with the ATI x1950pro, I shouldn't have to change that for a while. It would run something...

    Worth the money?

    I'll probably OC, this one I'm on now is OC'd. That'd save me almost £80. PSU I have no idea about, I dont know which one on dabs is any good, same with the motherboards. I'd appreciate it if you could have a look on there and recommend some. Which GPU would you recommend, are either of the...

    Adobe Reader 7.0 - Highlighting

    Is there a way to highlight sections of the text in this version of Adobe? I can't seem to find any button that lets me do so. If not is there a way to send the text to word so it can be highlighted there?

    BitTorrent

    Every so often whilst downloading the speed falls to 0kB/s and I can't use the internet at this point, occasionally it's just the case of having to connect to another seeder. However more often than not I have to close all internet apps then turn the modem off then back on before I can use it...

    So is it worth buying one now or is it better to wait a while?

    Processors

    I was wondering is it worth switching to 64 bit now or should I wait until there is software that requires it, possibly more towards september time? I'm mainly a gamer so I don't know how important it for me to change at the moment. Also could someone explain dual core processors.

    Graphics Card

    Just got the computer back from my brother, apparently I need an AGP graphics card if I'm going to upgrade however I'm considering switching to an AMD 64 bit processor in a few months, is it worth switching to 64 bit or should I leave it how it is? Also could someone explain dual core processors.

    Mp3 players

    Just noticed it says: The bottom line: If you want a slick alternative to the iPod and you're into Sony's Connect music store, then the NW-HD5 is a stellar choice. What is Sony's connect music store? Does that mean I can only play stuff I buy from them?

    Mp3 players

    If I was going to get a flash player I think I'd go with the 4GB iPod nano but I'm not sure whether they're really worth the money seeing as they cost £180 and a 30gb hd video iPod costs £210.
