I have a HP Pavillion 754 and a HP DVD Writer 300n. In the past I was always allowed to record DVD's using MyDVD 4.0. Now my DVD Drive does not even acknowledge or recognize a blank DVD has been inserted. I can play DVD's that already been recorded. And record and play CD's I am inseting the exact same type of DVD's I have used in the past. What happened? and can I fix it? Thomas

Favorites in "Computer"
by Guest Jon S- 0 replies
- 270 views
In Windows XP, Explorer and My Computer were highly integrated. In Vista, My Computer, which is now just called "Computer," is more separate from Explorer. It used to be possible to have one list of Favorites for both. Explorer could open folders on My Computer. Now, trying to open a folder in Explorer causes Explorer to freeze up. And there doesn't seem to be any way to have Favorites in Computer. Question: Can I select particular folders within Computer as Favorites? When looking for folders on Computer, I often want to get back to the same folder again and again. Is there a way to make it a Favorite and get to it easily? Thanks

I have a SBS 2003 R2 wih ISA Svr 2004 and until last friday my XP Pro laptop was working fine wih an AT&T (Option GT Max 3.6 Express) for everywhere access.

Vista Media Center Sub-titles (closed captions)
by Guest Aircooled- 0 replies
- 362 views
Hi I have Vista Ultimate installed as an overgrade to Premium. How do I turn off sub-titles (or close captions) when watching TV in media center, it only appears on some channels and only on the freeview digital (British) service, I have tried all settings including closed captions. It's so frustrating as I have purchased external tuners to try and resolve it, whose software is abysmal for programming etc. The sub-titles etc, do not appear when using third party software, only in Media Center, and with any tuner configured within it, which has eliminated any on board hardware issues. Thanks anyone in anticipation, you'll be my hero forever if I can resol…
