Computers & Internet - 17 October 2006

I dont know if its the software or hardware. I believe its the hardware just from whats going on. Ok, heres the problems.

I cant burn dvds. But about an hour ago I was. Im trying to burn data dvds so I can reformat. I bought new dvds, and when I put them in, the burner says they are corrupt. So after throwing a couple, I realized its not the dvds. I loaded Windows media player, and its says theres no dvd burner installed. And Cheetah DVD burner is installed. I looked at the drivers, and it said everything was working. Theres no errors or anything.

Now what makes me think its the hardware is, if I put a dvd in, it does 1 of 2 things. Either the dvd pops out right after I hit burn, (Like 15sec), or, it just stays in and I have to manually pull it out. And for a short time, (May have been my firewall), but the drive would pop out without a dvd. So how do I fix this?

(I put this under software because I thought it sounded more like software, but hardware isnt ruled out)

I made a video myself through Windows Movie Maker and saved it as a .wmv file, can anyone tell me how to get a code for that, so I can add it to myspace? Youtube won't work because even though the file size is small enough to upload, it said it can only be 10 minutes long at the max...mine is like, 15. any other ways?

I don't have a digital hook-up where I live, so cable is out of the question. I *have* to use the phone line. Right now, my laptop and PC both have 56k modems. But I'm tired of waiting 7 days for a file to finish downloading. How do I go about changing from dial-up to DSL? What do I need? Who is the best provider? Who is the cheapest provider? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! :o)

I've got Norton anti-virus installed on my laptop and it's due to expire in about a fortnight. I've decided to go the whole hog and instal the Norton security suite 2006 when the other is out-of -date. Someone at work told me it can be a bit of a pig to instal. Can anyone give me a guide or walk-through instructions to instal it myself? Failing that, can somebody point me in the direction of a useful website? Thanks.

Having done all the necessary and got password verification the website I want tells me that " If you use a spam filter, please add this address to the "whitelist" (or list of "approved senders") to ensure that you will receive these services."

It doesn't seem to make any difference if I lower all my barriers or add their web site to approved sites etc.

I am using Windows XP - can anyone give me more explicit details.
