My computer crashed a while back & i had to get a new modem.

The old computer had a video card for music, a dvd burner & player etc...

Now i can't watch dvd's, burn or even listen to cd's.

When i try it say's something like video card is not compatiable with media or something to that effect.

What is wrong & what should i do???
Did i need to install a new video card with the modem???

Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

I have worked at my job for 3 1/2 years now. Don't enjoy it at all anymore, because my job responsiblities have been changed and all I do is count items to make sure we have what we should.

I went to my final inperson interview this last week and I was told that they are extremely interested in having me work for them. All they have to do is a background check and I am hired. I am looking to start there on January 8 of 2007. That is a 4 week notice for my current job, which should be enough (one of my co-worker's dad is in the hospital after a heart transplant. The heart isn't taking and it doesn't look like he's going to make it, so I didn't want to leave the office in that kind of situation.)

Does anyone have any advice for me on how to tell my boss that I must quit? She's a nice person and all, but I know if I don't, then I will stay there forever and my life will pass me by.

(I have seen many dogs and cats in the shelters and this makes me sad. I am wondering why take a pet if you can not care for them. I gave away my two fish because I was afraid that they might die... because of something I might do wrong... I know we try our best wth all our pets.. I think we buys them because we love them... and appreciate creation in a way, but when we can no longer care for them, is it better to give them away?)

I guess my question is does your religion say anything about animal cruelty at all?

Respectfully,
Muslimah

I have my candles on my low shelf on the left and on the right my stereo is on the right ... is it alright to have a stereo where I do cast my spells ?

Or could it enhance the aura of that space because it's a musical object?

I am 14 and take prescription medication for the acne I used to suffer with. Though the medication I am using (Retina Micro) has worked , there is a problem. I was told to use the medication for four years and that my dry skin would be a normal side effect. This is my first time of use during the winter and the somewhat cold weather in New Orleans makes matters so much worse. Before the winter, noone could tell I had dry skin (I would just put lotion on one or two times throughout the day). Now, my lotion routine no longer works as well. This problem has started within the past few days, so none of my friends have seen it. Can someone tell me something I can do over the Thanksgiving holiday?

♥Example: I went grocery shopping the other night at 3am, and ended up chatting with someone about a car accident he'd seen that changed his life, and also about the fact that he grows his hair out to donate it to Locks of Love(they make wigs for kids with cancer and long-term medical hair loss), which I also do!♥So do things like this ever happen to you?

In Austria there is a rumor that many Americans don't know where my home country is - or just got to know it when Arnold Schwarzenegger became gouverneur in California?
Do you agree or disagree?

I am 21 years old and am a bit overweight. I weigh 170 and need to go down to 135 (at least). I have time to do this, but not enough funds to higher a nutritionist or trainer, or follow a plan that I have to pay for. I am looking for results and efficiency. I purchased a treadmill and have several workout videos that I can do at home. I need to know a diet plan that is realistic, won't make me feel weak, and is fulfilling. Also I need to eat 3 times a day, I don't want a liquid diet either. Please advice on realistic diet plans that have ACTUALLY worked for you...and a workout routine. Tell me your story, and paint a picture for me. Thanks so much!!!

They both spoke Irish and Scottish Gaelic and have historic trade links.
Traditional Irish sports are similar to traditional Scottish sports.
They were both against England.
So around a thousand years ago could they have united as one country.

I'm currently ordering a guitar for my son for chistmas and the total is £46.19 GBP. What does this change over to in american currency? Is it the same? Thanks, my son is 6 years old and left handed. The only place I could find him a suitable guitar was through a UK based store. Thanks again and peace!

Both my parents and stepdad graduated from UC Berkeley. Does that give me a better chance of getting into UC Berkeley as a freshman for the 07-08 school year?

I hope so, b/c my 3.7 GPA unweighted (4.15 weighted) and 2070 SAT scores are on the lower spectrum of UC Berkeley acceptance i think.

that makes me really angry.
