i don't understand the point of your reply SHS. is this in response to the VIA chipset? Brad

I know I'm going to sound stupid...but, what the heck is the VIA chipset that people talk about? I think it's got something to do with your motherboard, but I'm not really sure. I don't think I have one though. Brad

I am wondering about the erase function of CD-RW's in Nero. The first option says it will erase all the physical data on the CD - that's self explanitory. But the second option says, "Quickly erase entire CD-ReWritable. CD will appear to be empty, but data is not physically erased. Use this option with caution if the CD contains confidential data." How does this work? I tried doing it one time, but the CD-RW could not be read in my DVD-rom drive or my CD-RW drive - while using Nero or otherwise. I've heard it just erases the table of contents on the CD. If so, is there any way to be able to get to the contents of the CD? I am just curious as to if anyone has done this....thanks! Brad

thanks for the reply thc!! anyone know if you can get the data back?? Brad

bump...

busby - what do you mean by an IE shortcut? i don't see it when i click on a link or when i click on a shortcut on my desktop (for IE). don't exactly know what you are talking about.... Brad

yeah, if someone knows how to do this, it would RULE!! i've always wondered how to open a new window fully maximized.... Brad

yeah, i've used that for awhile....it's also nice to have a shortcut to a playlist or 2 in the same folder....so it looks like this. i hate to cover up heidi.

what does this file do? i don't have win2k on my machine right now. could somebody post a screenshot? Brad

Hi, i've got a microsoft sidewinder game pad. from what the cd says, it must be the original one. in the hardware pages on this site, it says i should be able to get it to work under win2k!! i can't! when i put in the cd and try to install it says to check the restrictions on the OS on the box, or some garbage like that. in fact, it does say, "designed for win95" on the cd. but, how did you (whoever posted on the site) get this piece of hardware to work with win2k? please respond if you think you can help. thanks! Brad

COOL! thanks a lot man....gotta go try it! that is cool to know....i feel dumm now. Brad
