DVD±RW drive stops responding

I've got a Philips SPD2413P DVDRW drive on an MSI RS480M2 motherboard, and, for whatever reason, the drive stops responding after a short while. It will read discs fine and burn them after a reboot or after the device is disabled/enabled, but this is only a temporary fix. Has anyone ever seen...

AIM Question

I should have checked for a software forum. I didn't notice this one. Sorry. Is there any way to find out when you originally registered your screen name? I'm curious how old mine is.

Kingdom Hearts 2: What is the title of the song played during the commercial?

If it's a Japanese soundtrack, it will have the Japanese version of the song, entitled "Passion," also sung by Utada Hikaru. It's the same song, but in Japanese. I believe the translation of the lyrics is different, but that won't matter unless you actually know Japanese.

Trouble with Hauppauge TV-Tuner Card

I tried all 3 with no luck. I had the same problem in every slot. I disabled all the non-essentials on the motherboard (firewire, com1, 2, and lpta ports, even secondary ide controller) and removed the sound card, but nothing has helped so far.

Trouble with Hauppauge TV-Tuner Card

I've been trying to build a PVR for the past month or so, and I've had a few problems. It took me about a month to get a defective video card issue resolved with geeks.com, but that's another situation altogether. I have the following parts: MSI RS480M-IL Sempron 64 3000+ 2 x 512 Corsair...

Ok, I'm heading off to college, so I'm planning to build a computer suited for a LAN party and as a PVR. Other than the LAN gaming, all my gaming will be done on another computer, so I shouldn't need too much computing power, other than the vid card. Here's what I have so far: Case/PSU...

Transferring video to Portable Media Center

I recently received a Creative Zen Portable Media Center as a gift, and I've been playing around with it lately. To play video, though, it has to convert the file to .WMV to be able to play it. Windows Media Player will do this automatically, so it should, in theory, work well. Copying DivX to...

Nope, no conflicts listed. I've tried different sets of headphones and microphones, but nothing works. They all work if theyre hooked up to anything but the front bay, though. Maybe there's something wrong with the cable.

No, they were both on the same drive. I used one as a data disk in case something like this happened. Problem is, I have data I'd rather not get rid of on the other disk. I'll try the fixmbr cmd right now.
