There is no option for blank media in Autoplay also, tried Nero9 (latest), ImgBurn, Dvd Shrink, (rememering to uninstall accordingly) to no avail - any ideas? ... 18 Mar 2010 23:29
Microsoft caught pirating somebody's patent again!!! Before OS/2 I liked MS. I had an MS-DOS-Generic (no-bitmap, no IBM compat) 80186 and Microsoft went out of their way to be helpful. I also ran Multiplan on that Ampro 2210 with an HP2621a terminal. I joke about it, but it feels like this is true: when MS did biz with IBM on OS/2 it was almost like IBM body snatch... 18 Mar 2010 23:29

Is it the Sound Card or the Speakers? I notice that funny noises sometimes come out of my digital speakers, even when the computer is off. But my biggest problem is that the speaker volume often swells and dimishes for no reason. It is not in the content and when I use my earphones, attached to the analog out of my Sound Blaster, the sound is fine. ... 17 Mar 2010 00:19
