Hi Teri, It's great to hear (well, read actually) that you're actually becoming your own best tech support. Most of the problems that we face here have already been experienced and worked through by others who have posted what they've learned online somewhere. The trick is to get really good at searching for it (and then being able to understand what the heck they're talking about when you get there, of course lol). I'm so glad to hear that the problem is resolved, too. Now, if we could just figure out what's going on with your high speed internet access difficulties. :o\ Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked!" ----- Original Message ----- From: <mytoybox1@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "PC TechTalk" <PCTechTalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 12:44 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- " Hi again " Recovering from a I/O error on CD drive`s " > Howdy ... it`s been a while since I have posted although I read the > group`s digest every day . > Anyway`s ... the other night I played a movie on my Plextor External DVD > R/W drive and thought I`d try out a new CD called P C Security & Privacy > from P C World ... it was free being as I am a subscriber to their > magazine . > > When I put it in the drawer and closed it the activity light went out ... > so I right clicked on My Computer to open the drive manualy .
