  1. Hi I am looking to buy DVD/CD writing software. I currently use Roxio Easy CD 5 but need to update
    and am not entirely happy with the Roxio sofware. I have narrowed the choices down to Nero 6 and
    Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD 8 but cannot decide between the two. I use DVDshrink for ripping the DVD. I
    use Pinnacle Studio 8 for editing my own video. Has anyone got any advice or suggestions on which
    one to go for based on their own experiences of either? I have read that the Pinnacle software gives
    better quality video, is this so? Many thanks Gordon

    Yes, I thought it was, somehow. I think me and computers are destined not to get on. I was burning
    some small games this evening for the (non-networked) machine upstairs, and all I ended up with was
    a host of errors. Not the first time, either, dammit. Grrrr.

    Most 'unavailable' things are available if you don't mind hunting for them. Including, I'm pleased
    to say, AtGuard.

    Or go to a Computer Fair and pick up an 'evaluation' copy for a few pounds.

    Where? I've tried to download it at a few sites and it fails or tries throwing a trojan into the
    system. Can't find it now, the site I used to use has no links to it, but directs me to eMule
    instead:-(

    TIA

    I've got Kazaa Lite version 2.10 build 3 if you or anyone else wants me to email it, it's 2.86mb. I
    too have noticed that the old website now redirects to eMule.

    Recently, I've been using something called Overnet instead: overnet.comovernet.com When installed,
    you go to the options menu and make sure it is set to handle ed2k links from Internet Explorer, then
    go to www.sharereactor.com and search for what you want there. When you've found your downloaded,
    select/add the files, and Overnet should automatically load and start transferring the files.
    Sometimes, the files will be CD images, so you'll have to write them straight to CD, but I've also
    had zip and rar files too.

    Look if you really want a clean copy of Nero - or anything else for that matter then the site
    to use is:

    I had an older PC that was a bit 'funny' when it came to using CD-R's in the CD-ROM drive. Original
    CD's always worked, but sometimes, CD-R's wouldn't work, and sometimes they would. The problem got
    worse and worse, and now, only original CD's work in it. But it's a Pentium 133Mhz and is only used
    by my little brother and sister as a 'mess about' PC, so no worries.

    If it did become a problem for you, check out how cheap plain CD-ROM drives are these days. One
    of my local suppliers, Aria (.co.uk) in Manchester, lists 5 different 52x CD-ROM drives at
    between 12.93 and
    14.10 including VAT. Even PC World (spit) do a 52x CD-ROM for 14.99 inc VAT.

    God, that's nothing! Prices for certain things have come down so much. I never wanted to spend money
    on this PC, especially as it's so old now, but I will definitely keep this in mind should it start
    to become a problem. I'm thinking of setting up a wireless home network soon, so would possible
    start using this PC more, as an Internet PC.

    Thanks,
