Packet wrbreasting problem
ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH. SIX TO TWELVE MORE HOURS! For the last few years, I have maintained a website for our homeowners buttociation. It was fairly sloppy - - - with the components scattered over several different organizations. Hosted...
I posted this problem in alt.computer.workshop but no one has solved it yet.
I have not had to buy a new computer for a while now, but my present Dell Dimension L433...
Can not get WinXP to recognise my CD-DVD writer properly. I use Nero which writes CDs perfectly but also have InCD which doesn't recognise my rewritable CDs at all.
When right-clicking on the drive with a CD in place I do NOT get 'format using InCD' as an option; if I select 'properties' I do NOT get the Recording tab.
InCD resides in the taskbar but if I attempt to use it, it fails and disappears from the taskbar. InCD is set to 'load when a blank CDRW is inserted' but it does not.
Tried the fix on effect.
After reinstalling everything, renewing ribbon cables etc still no joy. I can't even decide whether it is a hardware or a software problem. Any ideas where I should try looking?
