  • cd/ rw and dvd rom problem?

    I bought a computer a fresh install, so the only software I have for the cdrw and dvd rom is windows media player? windows media player says no disk in drive D: or E:. When I put a linux os cd it will read in when I am booting then I cancel the os install. So why is a disk read at boot up and not any other time? windows media player plays utube videos fine? the device manager says both devices are working properly? Should the devices burn? and if I do have to do some free software do I have an all in one software for audio,video, and burn or do have to do three downloads? tia i'm a newbie to fixing cd's

  • addding ddr memory to HP Pavilion 061 PY196AV-ABA a1130e 0p[1211CT101AMBEM00?

    we have a HP Pavilion 061 PY196AV-ABA a1130e 0p[1211CT101AMBEM00 with 256 memory the scan says we can add 3 gigs of ddr pc3200 400mhz. I want to add http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... and I believe the origional ram is cl3. Im guessing take out the 256 stick(cl3) and just run the 2 gigs of cl2, if i keep the 256 stick in wont the computer run off the cl3 instead of the cl2? does this computer accept other ram ? I hear dells dont accept other ram very well. Do I need to go to bios to adjust voltage etc or should this configure automatically

  • riding mower has to be primed 4 or five times to start and stay running?

    I prime the carb 5 times before it runs continually, in south texas we only have to mow every 6 weeks. Would a primer bulb work? like the ones on a outboard motor boat? if so do I install it between fuel filter and carb, or between tank and fuel filter? fuel filter is good, carb is clean,

  • 98 saturn 4cyl, black and white smoke when starting?

    after the car sits overnight, i get the black and white smoke when starting , i have to rev the engine for 15 sec(or it will die), then it runs fine all day. Im guessing oil is getting in the cylinder and then it burns off and then runs normal? im getting worse gas mileage, ive changed spark plugs,valvecover gasket,pcv valve, I also have a slight hesitation when taking off from a stop . when i had the valve cover off i checked the chain connected to the dohc(no slack) is this the timing chain? How do i adjust timing, the distributer cap does not do it. i believe im running rich on gas, and maybe oil getting in the cylinder? thanks in advance for info
