I have been burning for some time with this burner & this media, when out of the blue ( after burning 2 or 3 discs that day) the dvd drive is now listing all of the blank dvd-r media that I have inserted into it as full. The media is not full & i have in fact tried 3 different brands of media and they are all the same.
I have removed the burner and re installed , no help , and as i said i have been burning with this burner for some time so i know that it works & it works with the exact media i am trying to use.
The problem is , is that for some reason this burner or puter now sees this media as full.
I have various software for burning dvd's that have all worked in the past , now they show media as full when in reality it is not!!!
I do not think it is a problem with the drive,media,or burning software! Firmware was working fine & no changes were made so it can not be this ( unless it is corrupted somehow).
Is there perhaps a setting that needs to be reconfigured? suggestions?

I am having trouble enabling Windows Aero. I have the Home Premium Edition of Windows Vista.
I have 1GB of RAM, and 32-bit operating system. But, I have a Radeon IGP 345M graphics card. I'm not sure if that is supported for Aero. And if it is the wrong type, is there anything else I can do? My laptop is made so that you can't change the graphics card.

I spilled a cup of coffee on my laptop (Dell Latitude D600) keyboard a while ago. I disassembled the body of the computer, took out the easily accessible components (HDD, CD, Ram, Wifi), and let the whole thing dry out over night. The next day it seemed to work fine when I turned it on. Then after using for an hour or so it randomly shut off. I tried turning it back on and got a series of beeps but it start up normally. I figured out that the beeps were in response to a keyboard malfunction, so I bought a replacement keboard and installed it. The computer now starts up without beeping but still shuts off at random times (sometimes after 5 minutes sometimes after a couple of hours). Anyone know what is going wrong?

I opened up the computer after taking it to my service provider for not being able to write DVD's and CD's on it ,and it made a horrible noise from within.They cleaned the Cd-writer ,but it was damaged in the first place.
Now everything is ok ,but I still wonder what that noise was .

I plug in my computer (older PowerMac), fine. I plug the monitor into it, and at first it comes on, but then the monitor goes to amber light and won't power on. I have used this monitor and computer together before. So I tried another monitor, same brand, same model, same results. What does it sound like? Never heard of such a thing.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and its great. The security is much better than XP, I love the new Windows Aero 3D Flip where you can see all the programs that are open in 3d by pressing start-tab.
