    Can burn everything except audio CDs - Why?

    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...

    Can burn everything except audio CDs - Why?

    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...

    Can burn everything except audio CDs - Why?

    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...

    Using system restore to revert to pre-spyware state

    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

    Using system restore to revert to pre-spyware state

    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...

    Something's messing with my mouse

    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...

    Brand new install reboots without error ever 2-3 minutes

    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 -...

    Posting a Job Resources

    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 -...

    Windows 2k Prof. and Exec

    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

    Reformatting

    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 -...

    Reformatting

    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...

    Mapped drives and "local device name already in use"

    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...

    Back up is not backing up until I tell it to...

    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

    Mouse moves and clicks itself

    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...

    Mouse moves and clicks itself

    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...

    Boot up PC enters safe mode

    Is it able to successfully boot into Safe Mode? Also what OS are you using? You'll get better support if you post your detailed question in the forum directly related to your OS. - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien Technology - http://www.solien.com

    Tells me Media is not overwritable

    If the tape is not new, you'll also want to make sure that it's a member of the correct Media Set, and that the media set is set to the overwrite protection period you want. - Zoe, that's ZOH-EEE, get it right please - Just a little ol' MCP at Solien Technology - http://www.solien.com

    How do I define this subnet?

    Here's the story: Before we moved we had an entire IP range and the subnet mask for that was fairly straightforward. But now that we've moved and switched providers, we only have a 25 IP range: .96 - .125. I need to adjust the subnet defined in AD Sites and Services. But what do I put in...

    Event Viewer Log issue

    You select what is logged not through the Event Viewer (which would make sense, but they didn't build it that way) but through the GPO or the local security policy. Most boxes use the local policy to set logged events. Well, this is true for Windows 2000 anyway. I can't remember if it's the...
