Quote: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328213/en-us SYMPTOMS When you add or remove a program by using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, the following event may appear in the system log: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event ID: 7023 Description: The Application Management Service terminated with the following error: The specified module could not be found. CAUSE The Application Management service is not supported in Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, and the Appmgmt.dll file is not included with Windows XP Home Edition. However, the registry setting that disables this service is not configured correctly in Windows XP Home Edition. Therefore, the Add Program routine tries to find the Appmgmt.dll file. When the Add Program routine cannot find the Appmgmt.dll file, the entry appears in the system log. Copy these lines to notepad, save the file as disableappmgmt.reg, doubleclick the file and answer Yes: Quote: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppMgmt] "Start"=dword:00000004 This disables the Application Management service.

Maye music card like this, Sound FX like that, you know what I mean. Tanks a lot. And I should apologize for my bad English as well. Doomsday Engine to rescue. In this case jDoom.

Quote: Cleaning CDs and DVDs Q) What's the best way to clean CDs and DVDs? A) The procedure is basically the same for both. If your CD or DVD looks grimy or is skipping, it's time to clean it. Pick up the disc and hold it by the edge or loop a finger through the hole in the center. Using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, wipe the surface, starting at the center and moving outward to the edge. Wipe across the disc rather than in a circular motion, which can cause microscratches and damage the data stored on the disc. If that doesn't do the job, dampen the cloth with a gentle soap-and-water solution and rewipe. Never use household cleaners, abrasives or solvents on CDs or DVDs. Keep the inside of the player clean by dusting regularly, especially near the loading mechanism. Avoid getting food or anything else on the discs. Return discs promptly to protective covers. 2) Try other disk drive if possible. 3) Does the drive detect other disks?

Or if you got Windows XP Pro, then you can use Internet Information Services (IIS). Installing IIS on Windows XP Pro @ Web Wiz Guide.
