I think you are missing donta's point, he wasn't taking the piss but rather asking how you got to where you are now as in what was your learning process with computers. I doubt he was suggesting you learned to drive at Sears. When has anyone said you were hostile? You just seem to persist even after you've been give your answer.

Have you tried uninstalling Imgburn, run Ccleaner, reboot and reinstall Imgburn?

The PC in the link is as you see it, the other tabs are for upgrading if you wish to. This is what you get standard for that price

Actually Vice Prez and she's already alledgedly had the baby, now her daughter is knocked up. Most suspect the moms baby as actually being the daughters as she missed 5 months of school due to mononucleosis the same time the baby was born, with mental illness to boot. Sara Palin has brought a whole new meaning to the term political scandal as the list goes on and on. She is also currently under investigation by the state of Alaska (where she is gov) for firing the State Police chief because he wouldn't fire one of his officers who is/was married to her sister and was unfaithful.

Desktop ($1000)~ http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/con...ured_dotw_dimen That should be plenty. Quad core Q6600 3 gigs of ram 640 gig HDD 22" LCD monitor

Not from me

Could you post the entire log please. You can post it directly in this thread, no need to attach it.

What is your budget?

Get one with a hard drive with a capacity that you want and choose one with at least 2 gigs of ram. You can add video cards if needed down the road as well as internal burners, hard drives etc.

Then nothing is accessing your drive.

Derrrrr!

Imgburn won't decrypt any copy protected source.

Forget about the Mac. For power get a desktop, for portability get a laptop. Laptops are nice, but they just can't keep up with desktops unless you go ultra high end boutique style and then you have to worry about heat, dropping them etc. An external drive should be about the same as an internal drive in a desktop...in fact you can buy an external enclosure and put an internal drive in it (same difference).

SL = DVD-5 = 4.7GB disc. These are your run of the mill discs that cost around 30 cents each. DL = DVD-9 = 8.5GB disc. These are the special ones that cost 3-4X as much and hold not quite twice as much. A new external burner will cost about $60-$80 and your 200 discs are about the same. Laptop drives aren't really great burners, but external ones can be excellent. You really have nothing to lose either way. A little cheaper than I thought ~~ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827106251 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827106248 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827106056 I don't really know a lot about externals, but Lite-On makes some solid drives.

If you could get close enough to his nose you might be able to pull some out.

Google works wonders and as the boss says, we can't and won't help here.

So you look like Slash?

I really wouldn't get too stuck in the details as the information can get pretty anal with all the PAPA vs PAP6 vs. PAP3 etc....I like to keep it simple and simply look for either Verbatim made in Taiwan for SL, Verbatim Made in Singapore for DL and TY from Japan for the rest. Good luck

It's just a common suggestion to try different media. Generally speaking there isn't anything wrong with Sony discs and most people don't have problems using them, but when a poster starts having problems and everything else has been sorted short of replacing your burner then the media gets pointed at. We always recommend Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim because they offer a wider degree of compatibility and support with burners and stand alone equipment as they have impeccable quality standards. Sony, Memorex, TDK etc. can offer up problems to some people and their equipment because, while every manufacturer is supposed to be held to certain specs, they don't seem to have the same guidelines to produce quality material which be seen by the consumer disc after disc after disc. A good place to do some research is right here in the Drives & Media section of Imgburns forum or for some real scrutiny you could breeze by CDFreaks for some more comparisons. We and others have done the testing for you so that you don't have to.

10X times isn't a supported speed for your drive/firmware/media combination.

You are welcome...good luck and happy burning.

Three years is a long time in PC years....some may last longer some not as long. mmalves suggested Pioneer 115 and Samsung 202....I'll add NEC/Optiarc 72XX to the mix.

This typical of cheap media or a drive with one leg in the grave....could also be the cables are bad, you could check them out also making sure they are properly seated on both ends. Looks like a new drive is in your future.

Region codes and frame rates (NTSC vs. PAL) are two different things entirely. The region code tells you where you can play your DVD and in what machine, basically locked to one area of the world or another. NTSC and PAL are frame rates which are different, if your DVD player can't handle a different frame rate then it won't be able to play the video on your disc. Region codes ~ http://hometheater.about.com/cs/dvdlaserdi...egioncodesa.htm NTSC vs. PAL ~ http://neuron2.net/LVG/ntscvspal.html You can easily make a DVD region free, however changing the frame rate takes a little more doing.

Could you post a log please as well as insert your burned RW go to discovery mode and copy and paste all the information from the right window.
