Is there an option to remove SP4 in control panel add\remove dialogue ?

Start in command mode and type the command, the drives are not locked at this stage so a full check can be made.

What burning software have you used, most have the option to set the writing speed, but out of interest why is X4 so important ?

Could you use XP's restore to roll back to a point when everything was working? it's a lot easier than the other solution sounds.

Before you do, do yourself a favour, dump ME and put 98SE back, you will be most dissappointed with ME, most people were, it's a resource hog and wont let go of resources once a program has used...

SATA to USB how? what are you using to make the connection.

Try downloading and installing the WM9 codec pack, that should cure the problem.

It will only work for 2 weeks if you install without a key, also if you tried the beta 2 release, it's the same key.

I have had this happen on PC's with slight network problems, there is an always 'on' connection to the internet but for some reason that link doesn't find it also for some odd reason it doesn't...

Without details of the make and model no. etc; it's impossible to say for sure, but it's very unlikely.

Bare in mind it would only 'spin up' if auro run was active, otherwise it waits for a command from explorer, none of my optical drives spin up because I disable auto run on all, not in itself a sign...

Did the sound just stop working one day ? if it did and you can remember roughly when, try using system restore to restore to a date when the sound was working. It's a bit of a long shot but I don't...

If they are RW's you would need an UDF reader, you can download one from Roxio or just google for one, thing is your brother's PC must already have one to have read the contents.
Personally I think...

just change the naming standard field to allow 'Joliet' and additional ISO characters, there can be some problems in that there is no guarantee that another PC will be able to read the full field,...

I wonder, NooNoo if there's a mistake in that he wants them deleting from where they are found after copying to a temp folder, it would make more sense.

Using Asus drivers version 91.31 and Audigy whatever the latest is, it's a combined driver for 2's 4's and later version 02.08.0004, DX accel is on full.
