The Broom, are you saying that if I just take the DVD - R disks back to the store and exchange them for DVD + R, it should work?
Rajinder, I do not understand your answer at all.
Siddanth, when I put the DVD-R disk in my tray, my pc did not react at all and Musicmatch seems to think the dvd is a cd with only 78 minutes capacity!!

Sometimes when I turn my computer on, and the "Welcome" screen comes on, I see a lot of "snow" and I see a blurred cursor that is shimmering. After a few seconds, this problem goes away and the screen is quite clear.

I need to format my hard drive because of corrupted files, but first I need to back up my files and save my music onto cds or dvds. The problem is that when I ask Sonic or Musicmatch to burn my music onto cds, I get messages saying that no cd/dvd drive can be detected. I rebooted and tried again with same frustrating results. HELP!

i have a nec versa 2400 laptop and i need to activate hard drive access through bios and i don't know what the password is.
also, what operating system comes with it??

How do I optimize my system for a dual monitor movie set-up?
I mean one picture spanning accross the two. I am running

If that helps. Oh, and yes I downloaded all the latest drivers. Even flashed my bios!
could it be a monitor brand incompatibility issue? if so where could I swap my two 15"s for one 30" (lol) would anyone buy these on ebay? the two work fine multitasking tho.
