I have Windows XPSP2. My computer came with a CD-RW drive. I upgraded the same to a DVD-RW drive. For a few days, it was working fine. I then reinstalled my OS and then, whenever I put in a DVD-RW disc, I get the blue screen of death and on the other hand, if I put in a CD-R or a DVD-R disc, I get the following error message: **D:\ is inaccessible. A parameter is incorrect.** I had installed InCD and Nero, I removed both of them, still same results. Please help!

(OT) ANN: something very interesting> seamless virtualization!
by Guest Tiberius- 0 replies
- 130 views
This is interesting, not directly vista related... What is seamless integration of a virtual machine? I means you can have a windows application window directly on the Linux desktop, and NOT confined in the virtual machine window... therefore it reacts like a normal application. since a picture is worth 100 words see here http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1298214399&size=o as you can see the 2 OS (windows and Linux) coincide within the same desktop! You have both the Linux and the windows taskbars at the same time! This is BIG news to people who like virtual machines and are flexible enough to try Linux as their host os. http://www.…

Microsoft Office Shortcut bar
by Guest Roger- 6 replies
- 235 views
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I recently upgraded to MS Office 2003 and now the shortcut bar no longer appears in the top right. I've checked that I still have it, and it's there in MS Office Tools. I can even double-click on it and it appears in the correct place, functioning perfectly. However, I am a pedant, and I want it to kick-in when I boot-up, but I don't know how to make it do this. Can anyone please helpe me? Simple instructions of no more than one syllable would be appreciated as I'm not the most technically-minded knife in the drawer ... :)

Info on troubleshooting a driver problem
by Guest jjoensuu- 1 reply
- 148 views
Hi folks I have a problem with running the Sims 1 game on a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine. I do not play this game often so I don't know when the problem first appeared. From the looks of it, it seems as if it could be a conflict between a display driver and the Sims game. The game is fine until I go to the mode where I can build something on a property (when switching to this mode the display normally changes from showing a map to showing a property close up, with a menu on the bottom). Instead of showing a coherent picture the screen displays pieces of the whole, with some blank or blank squares randomly placed on the screen. No other applications are runn…

Errors ejecting USB Flash Drive
by Guest Sandy- 3 replies
- 188 views
I have several flash drives and just bought a Scan Disk Cruzer. No problem on plug in and viewing files, but when I try to eject the device I get this error: appstop.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I tried it on another computer and have no problem ejecting it. I also tried another flash drive in the desktop that is giving me the problem and when I try to unload that one it says: appservice.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks -- Sandy Simon
