Hello, I have a CDRW I have been using for several years. I recently installed a DVD burner. I cannot write to my old CDRW disk with it. I have installed Easy CD/DVD Creator 6. Any suggestions? Do I have to burn it to a DVDRW ??? Thanks in advance for the help. Wallygator.

Wallygator

Thanks for the suggestions, both are good options. Wallygator.

Hello Everyone. It's been awhile since I've posted, but I need some help and this is always the place to find it. I have a home network, using a Linksys wireless router. I have four computers, two wired, two wireless. The router has been moved to a room in the basement, and the signal upstairs is ...

Wallygator

Thanks but that box isnt checked. Also i should mention that this is hooked up with a wireless pc card. It hangs as it trys to open a "secondary" window almost like a pop up. This doesnt happen on any other of my comps. including wireless ones.

I recently got a new laptop. I've done all windows updates and most everything works great! But when I go to a website (Compusa to be exact) when i click on an item and then go to enlarge image it hangs for about 20 seconds. AAAARRGHHH
Is this Java based??? I dunno. What is going on? On my other ...

I will make this brief. Linksys wireless router, getting static like interference through my laptop speakers. Anyone ever heard of this? Some one told me its the way the speakers are wired or some kind of capacitor interference in the laptop with wireless router signal. Doesnt happen when wired ...

Wallygator

Well I can't figure this out. Wireless works great except for some minor static interference in the laptop speakers. No big deal I guess. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Any idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Wallygator

How do I change that, or can I??? But I dont think it is. Any other possibilities?

Wallygator

I just bought a Linksys wireless router, and a wireless PC card for my laptop. When accessing the internet or the network I get a crackling sound from my laptop speakers. It's definately some sort of interference. It is a Compaq laptop. I am going to exchange the PC card and see if that helps. Any ...

I have a three computer home network. One using XP and the other two using ME. When not all of the computers are turned on I have a very long delay when accessing My Network Places. When all three computers are on I am able to access them instantaneously. Whats going on??? On my old network with all ...

Wallygator

Does anyone here use WOW internet??? What has anyone heard about it??? It just became avaliable in my area, I am currently a Comcast customer. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wallygator

By a long time I mean 40 seconds. I am using DHCP and the router to access the internet. No firewall, latest firmware, using norton 2002, and it doenst matter which computer is off. Also this only occurs from my windows XP machine.

Thanks again. I've got two more questions, not internet speed related though. When I first turn on computer and double click IE it take about 8 seconds to open up, after the first time it opens normally. Also XP takes a long time to shut down.

Wallygator

Also I always get very low upload speeds, way below 128. On concast btw.

Wallygator

Man Lobo you are on the ball!!!! Ok I'll try those. Does the highest one always work better? With optimizer I can just go to restore windows default to get rid of all tweaks and then start over right? Thanks

Wallygator

Hello again. Here we go I'll do this again. I have a new computer. P4 2.0, 256 ddr ram 80gb HD, Windows XP. This computer is on my home network using a Linksys router,(which I've had absolutely no problems with), sharing a broadband connection. I am using SGs optimizer. I just cant figure out the ...

Wallygator

First of all I would like to thank anyone who has helped me with any of my numerous questions on Speedguide. This xp networking is giving all kinds of problems. I have three computers sharing a broadband connection through a linksys router. I set up the network with the networking wizard, (I have ...

Wallygator

Actually I plugged my ethernet cable into my nic before I booted up the comp for the first time. Then I noticed a brief little pop up by the clock saying a network cable is not connected. I unplugged reconnected and it worked. Also When I open my network places it searches for several seconds before ...

Wallygator

Wallygator

Hi I just got a new Dell 2.0 p4. I have had a home network with 3 computers working fine. Now one with XP and two with ME. I am using a linksys 4 port router sharing a cable connection. I cant get this to work, and cant even get the new one online. HELP PLEASE....this is driving me crazy. Thanks

Wallygator

Thanks, I'll try it.

Wallygator

Using SG optimizer!!!!

Wallygator

OK heres what I have. Celeron 300a, 96mb ram, cable connection.....What are my best settings?????? Thanks

Wallygator

Like what kind of programs??

Wallygator

Do you suggest a new modem???? I thought about buying one, and saving the rental fees. Would that fix the problem? Did it work for you?? What ones would you recommend? Thanks.

Wallygator

Lobo, your modem lights dont blink with activity? Also do you know how to check for backdoor, or trojan horses?? Comcast told me it was people on the network trying to hack in, but its nothing to worry about. Do you believe that??? I got a router so i guess that helps.

Wallygator

Have you seen the breakdown of the new packages they may or are offering? Also what about my modem?

Wallygator

OK so far I have been patient, now I'm getting mad. Right now, 8:10 pm est. speed really sucks. My cable modem ( RCA DM105 ) lights blink like crazy, even when my computer is off and their is no activity. Whats going on???? Is something wrong with my modem? What if I bought my own modem, like a ...

Wallygator

Thanks, i'll try both suggestions.

Wallygator

Hi, Quick question for everyone. I have my power settings set to turn off my monitor after 15 mins. It doesnt do it anymore, it just wont shut off automatically. Any ideas??? Windows me, nvidia 32mb card, pnp monitor. Thanks

Wallygator

Me too Lobo. Where I live we have Wide Open West available for cable TV. I just talked to an installer today and he said they would have broadband ready to go in June. I'll switch in a heartbeat, if things dont improve. I just got my Comcast@home running great with all the help of Speedguide, then ...

Wallygator

Thanks I'll try those. What do you think? Will Comcasts speeds increase???? You da man Lobo!!!!!

Wallygator
