Good advice, thanks. That's usually a buffer under-run and I've produced my fair share of coasters just from opening a new browser window. I now just leave my computer alone while it's running a burning operation. - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien...

I think you might be right. I tried burning a DJ mix I had laying around, just one big track so I would know immediately if there was something wrong with it. It burned just fine. So now I know it's one or more of the MP3s I tried to burn before. I will try your suggestion of converting it...

I've researched the problem but have not found a solution yet. I can't seem to create audio CDs. With Nero I've gotten a "Power Calibration Error" message, which in my research seems to mean different things in different setups. Here's what I've tried: 1. I've ruled out bad media because I've...

Thanks for the advice. I think he's used just about all that software you just mentioned. Only system restore was never turned off before he used them. - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien Technology - http://www.solien.com

A coworker of mine accidently hit a landmine of spyware evil when he accidently went to sqldev.com instead of sqldev.NET. He's gotten rid of most of them, but one seems to be a persistent little bastard. When a spyware program removes it, it comes back. When he kills its process it comes back...

Is it a wireless mouse? Are you within range of any other wireless mice by the same manufacturer? My boss's mouse one day started going haywire, but not consistently. It would be moving around on its own. Turned out a coworker TWO OFFICES DOWN also had a Microsoft wireless mouse. Pressing...

I might be wrong, but I think it's generally better to install all patches and SPs BEFORE you install the rest of your software. Then you'll know which piece of software is conflicting with it. - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien Technology -...

I've seen job listings in www.craigslist.org, and the postings there definitely show up in Google searches from time to time. It's worth a shot if you can't afford "real" employment websites. - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien Technology -...

Do these servers have the Backup Exec Remote Agent installed on them? - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien Technology - http://www.solien.com

Ah yes, linney has an excellent point that I forgot. Definitely install all the latest patches and service packs after you get your OS reinstalled. You should do this before you install anything else! - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien Technology -...

With all the malicious things that some Spyware can do, yes I think it is a good thing to do. Some Windows CDs are bootable. This will make things easier on you. To see if your CD is bootable, make sure your PC is set to check the CD drive before your hard drive during bootup. If it boots to...

Try mapping the drive to a different letter. You don't have to use the command line to do this. You can map drives and disconnect mapped drives through Windows Explorer. It's possible that the computer assigned that drive letter to another device or drive, making it unavailable for the mapped...

Does the account it uses when running as a service have the same privileges as the account you use when you tell it to run the backup? - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien Technology - http://www.solien.com

Of course right after I post this dilemma the mystery get solved. Believe it or not, the problem was caused by another wireless mouse two offices down the hall! I can't believe these things have such amazing range. The boss would complain about the misbehaving mouse and the guy would go to...

We have a Dell Inspiron 8100 that has had mousing problems before. This was usually solved by disabling the pointing stick. However this time the problem is different. Instead of the mouse cursor constantly drifting in one direction, it seems to be moving itself and randomly clicking itself...
