CD-ROM NOT BURNING

1. Check your optical drive (cd-rom) physically for faults.
2. Run a disk cleaner for optimum use.
3. Check the software used in burning, that might be causing the problem. If that is the case, uninstall it then reinstall the latest version.
4. Are you using a blank cd/dvd? Maybe not. A cd+-r or dvd+-r can be written only once, even if the burning is not finished to the end and/or not successful. Once the cd is used, it's as good as thrash. CD+-RW and DVD+-RW are rewritables. You can use them until 1000th times.
5. Do a system restore if it helps. Anyway, your files will not be affected by this procedure.
6. Try another software, a different one from what you are used to. Download a free software for burning.

If all fails, check the registry:
1. (XP) Go to Start, select Run, type: regedit, OK
(VISTA) Click Pearl button, type: regedit, OK
2. In Registry Editor Window, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class
3. Look for the item: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BCF1-08002BE10318}, highlight this
4. On the right panel, look for LowerFilters and UpperFilters
5. Select individually then delete it from the list
6. Close the entire window, and then restart the pc for changes to take effect.

SENTIDO COMON

Reminders for PC users without warranties:

1. Don't put the laptop or desktop pc in the cabinet/box/any enclosure for more than 6 months after usage. The electronic parts may somehow degrade leading to pc not powering up, nor booting up, nor reading the hdd, nor fan spinning then finally motherboard replacement. From time to time, make an effort to turn the pc on.
2. The battery of the laptop usually has a life of a year. So don't think that your battery is malfunctioning just because it looses voltage very fast. It will depend also on your applications loaded and your pc handling. And if there's such thing as repairing the battery, better yet get a new one, don't repair.
3. If the motherboard isn't working, after a technician told you so, it's still the safest and not a pain in the ass to just purchase a new laptop/pc, rather than going through the hassle of looking for the same model or a compatible model or bringing the pc for repair. Replacement of such has the same price of buying a new pc (to some extent).
4. Bringing the pc to a repair shop has PROFFESIONAL FEES. Even if you think you know the problem of your pc, the technician might agree or disagree with what you think after diagnosting the pc. There's no such thing as you bring the pc to a repair shop, and if the pc is not working still due to mobo problems (and replacement of such is not recommended due to time constraint or price or availability), you're not paying the labor/diagnostics capabilities of the technician. It's like going to a doctor with consultation fees, whether the doctor gave you medicine and was fine or got worst, you still has to pay the fee.
5. Don't over emphasize your panic strengths over minor problems like the button sticking on the tower. The button might just be needing some twisting/cleaning. These are just mechanical parts that most often than not full of dust/dirt. Just like the mouse ball.
6. For laptops, if you're fed up with it coz you see no video on screen, even though the power button is on, and you have important files on the hard drive, remove the hdd, purchase a covering or enclosure, and walah! Your internal harddrive turned into portable external harddrive! If you have a another pc, why don't you remove the RAM (memory) of the faulty pc and transfer to the working pc: it will add additional RAM, so does speed on pc. And enjoy selling other parts of the faulty pc to e-bay (make sure they are still working fool!)
7. Huh, much for tonight. I wana sleep. You wana know the reason I created this post? Coz of this guy who refused to pay my professional services in diagnosting a 2year-old-resting-inside-a-cabinet laptop (the palmrest's rubber is melting to some extent that merely putting your finger will create footprints all over the laptop. DIAGNOSIS: needs mobo replacement (customer has the feeling of needing a change of mobo when he brought the pc to me). For fckuer's sake, replacing an obsolete mobo is like finding a needle in a hay stack, and if ever there is a compatible mobo, the price mostly has the same price of purchasing a new laptop! crazy...

Dual core vs Core2Duo



Sounds the same right? Wrong. People are confused especially those who are not technically inclined which of the two is which. So am I, before. Dual core basically 2 processors but in a single package/socket. It has twice the speed comparing to past processors. Both are names of processors created by Intel.

DUAL CORE CORE 2 DUO
1. First generation of dual core processors based on Pentium M 1. Core 2 Duo is the second generation of Dual core
2. Both Intel and AMD produce dual core processor 2. Intel name its dual core procs as Core 2 Duo
3. E2140 runs at 1.6 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB, E2160 with 1.8 GHz with 1MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB 3. L2 (2MB-6MB) clock speed (1.06 GHz -3.16 GHz)

HOW TO ADD 3RD COLUMN ON MINIMA TEMPLATE

I'm not quite happy with the templates that blogspot is offering. Am happy with the way you can rearrange the elements into your website, and the term free web hosting option from this site. Researching further, even if I don't know anything about programming, CSS, HTML, etc, I found out about this link that explains it all.

Thank you Amanda for your blog, and because am so happy with how you present it, I will share it to everybody. One thing I find out about the minima template is from your blog, this HTML code:

#sidebar-wrapper { width: 220px; float: right; word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */ }


you wrote with the words highligted in red: "right" is not there. In mimina template, it was float endslide something. Common sense told me to change the endslide thing to what you prefer: "right". After following all your instructions, I got a 3 column template! The result is this blog.

Now I want to make the background not pure white but with a picture of anything I like. That I will research further.
Again, thanks for this wonderful help!
