I have an older Dell Laptop, not sure exact specs, but I think it's a latitude ab 5 yrs old. Recently, the screen has become scrambled making it hard to view. I noticed that when it is plugged in, the problem gets so bad you can't see anything. However, when it's not plugged in, the start...

At this point, I'm kind of throwing ideas around. Maybe check to see if there is some type of driver update? If it's possible, check your buddy's computer (who you swapped the drive with) and see what driver he has and compare that to yours. That could be it, but maybe that wouldn't spawn the...

What software can you use to convert MKVs to AVIs or any other normal format? I want to try to burn a file that I have in MKV to a DVD using Windows DVD Maker. I have tried to use virtualdubmod, but it was incredibly confusing. Any advice? After spending some time looking into this, I found...

What ab the connectors? Maybe the signal between the drive and the processor is bad.

I hate it but still use it. I, seemingly like everyone else, experience a large amount of RAM (most times 4 of 6 GB) being used when I'm just stilling watching the Performance window. Also it doesn't run my uTorrent or Nero, the two programs that i use most. I also get lots of system freezes...

Also something to consider, depending on which version of iTunes you have, it limits what you can and cannot burn. If it is music purchased through iTunes store and you are trying to burn a playlist containing a file (song) purchased as part of an album, it will not let you. I am not sure if...

I am not familiar w/Linux, but I think DVD Shrink can do what you're talking ab with Windows at least. I have directions copied and pasted on my home pc explaning how to only select sections of the dvd you want in order to make it smaller and in turn, higher quality. Have you tried this?

I had a similar problem but not w/a DVD drive, it was a basic CD-RW drive that originally came with my machine. I came to the conclusion that the drive died (lens issue i think). I would recommend buying a new one from a newegg.com or something like that. I got mine (Samsung DVD-RW) over 2...

Thanks for the info ab the reformat. Still sounds a bit sketchy, and I'll check out the disk that came w/the system to see if it's a windows disk (I don't think it is). W/my old machine (emachines) I reformatted probably 5 different times but all it had was a Boot CD that I would insert and...

How would I know if I were running a stable version on uTorrent? I got the computer ab 3 weeks ago and DLed uTorrent from their website. It's odd, sometimes it freezes immediately, sometimes it takes a while and one time I was able to DL an entire video concert and it worked fined and never...

it's a Dell Inspiron 530. Thanks.

I have a new Dell (6GB Ram, 750GB hd, Quad Core 2.6) that's running 64 bit Vista and it keeps crashing when I open uTorrent. This pisses me off bc really the only reason I bought a new computer was to DL live music and videos of concerts and burn them to CDs and DVDs. (I have read numerous...

I want to do the same thing, similar situation. I purchased the new desktop from dell mainly to DL live music and videos to be able to make DVDs etc. However, when I got the computer and tried to load the programs I use (uTorrent and Nero), neither of them work w/Vista. Nero wouldn't even...
