Im using ImgBurn to make copies of all my games, and daemon tools to mount the image so i dont have to hunt around for the discs every time i want to play them. Some work fine ( mainly the older ones) but others dont. They install fine, but when i mount the play disc, it still says "PLease insert play disk) or a similar message. I believe this is because the mounted image is actually a few megabytes smaller than the actual cd. I think its just compression, because it installs fine and no files seem to be missing. But the game wont play unless the disk is the size it's supposed to be (some sort of security measure no doubt). Does anyone know of any settings in Imgburn that will retain the exact disk size, or any other freeware programs that will do it?

My internet is pretty fast, but I can't download files over 50 mb because it stops in between the download! I can browse fine, or use torrents, but when downloading from Internet Explorer I can't download large files because my internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting again!

How do I make my internet stable?

Yesterday, I opened my AT&T Yahoo! (I'll abbreviate to ATTY from now on) browser, and I was prompted to download new software from ATTY. The download totally revamped their online protection. It used to be ATTY antivirus and ATTY antispyware, but now it's all Norton.

The thing is, it's making me browser slow and my games lag. The ATTY one was much better. Should I just delete them and download free antivirus?

I own a Dell xps M1730, supposedly the ultimate gaming machine, i have over 350 gigs of memory and 4 gigs of ram, not to metion a duel processor. I am running windows vista ultimate. Usually the machine starts out fine, but if i open any programs, (word, itunes, games,etc...) after a period, say 20min to and hour and a half, my CPU usage will slowly rise to 100%. I have tried turing off the wireless router and internet connection all together, but this only slows the problem. I have heard that windows vista may be the cause and note that out of the box it runs over 90 processes. I have purchised the full version of McAfee. If anyone has had a similar problem or can help I would greatl appriciate it. I have reduced all the extra visual crap on vista to as basic as it can go but I still get the 100% CPU slow down, I am on the verge of downgrading to windows XP. Please help me!

My motherboard has 3 slots for memory. Board takes DDR400. Acceptable memory is PC3200, PC2700 or PC2100.

I just pulled the memory and it turns out I have two PC3200 chips and 1 PC2700 chip.... does the PC2700 slow the system down or have any other adverse effect?
