  2. OK... I realy need some help with this one.

    I have a DVD-ROM and a DVD-RW in my machine.

    The system and OS (XP media center edition) both see the drives for what they are until I insert a DVD into either drive. At that time the icon in MY COMPUTER changes to CD-DRIVE designation and will not read the DVD.

    The DVD-RW will read and write cds with no problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    BTW..this is a fresh install of windows also.

  3. I have the same package and same situation. I have been using Vonage for a year now and would not think of going back.  What I do not understand is why Charter is still only at 3MB and all of the surrounding Atlanta area on Comcast is now at 8MB.

    This is my average speed....

    :::.. Download Stats ..:::

    Connection is:: 2943 Kbps about 2.9 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)

    Download Speed is:: 359 kB/s

    Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2)

    Test Time:: Thu Sep 01 2005 21:21:09 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)

    Bottom Line:: 53X faster than 56K 1MB download in 2.85 sec

    Diagnosis: Looks Great : 15.28 % faster than the average for host (charter.com)

    Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-WRXQJTI27

  4. Try laptop with all encryption off just for a test run to see if it will connect and surf the web.

    If that works then try moving up through the different levels of security.

    I have to run mine at WEP 64 bit, if I go to 128 then I get little or no internet conectivity message.

  5. I have done hardware upgrades like this one before several times.  I seems that Windows does not like being thrown into a new environment. (new mobo and proc).  I have had to reinstall windows everytime.
