Primary Reading Software

I purchased an LG 18x Super Multi DVD Rewriter and have installed it myself. Everything seems to be working correctly but when I went to load the software on the computer, my regular drive won't read the CD now. I was told that I need to try and make the original drive my primary drive. I have no clue how to do this! Cany anyone help?
Thanks!
Diane

set the jumper on the back of the drive to master

Computers are ubiquitous. As computers have become less expensive they have been purchased by more and more families for their homes. Because of this, many children begin to use computers at an early age. Even if computers are not available in their home, children almost certainly will begin to come into contact with computers in school.
Some adults are amazed by how readily young children use computers. Many children find that using computers gives them a sense of power and accomplishment. And, unlike many adults whose first or primary contact with computers is work related, most children first use computers for entertainment purposes and games. This is by no means the only use that children have for computers. Children also use computers for accessing information, as well as for writing stories and research papers.

In addition, children use a variety of learning programs, which either seek to teach or reinforce basic skills in math, language, reading, and other subjects. Other software allows children to draw pictures or create visual works of art and self-expression. Communication with others is growing as an application of computers by children, particularly as more homes and schools gain access to the Internet. As computers continue to become more powerful, increasing numbers of children are using computers to create multimedia presentations and even web sites that include pictures, text, audio, and even video.

Because computer use is promoted in schools, and because computers are so ubiquitous, children have a great deal of exposure to them. Not everyone, however, is comfortable with the use of computers by young children. Some, including the Alliance for Childhood, have called for a halt to the use of computers by young children. Such groups cite the costs as well as possible health effects that using computers may have on children. The true impact that early computer use has on children is uncertain. Even though there is not enough information to state authoritatively that computers have any negative effects on children, the possible adverse effects that have been cited are serious enough to warrant consideration

Computers are everywhere. They're less expensive so have been bought for more homes. kids are using them at an earlier age, even if they don't have one at home as they can use them at school.

Adults are amazed by young kids' computer literacy - this can give children a sense of power and accomplishment and they use computers for fun rather than work, as the adult community do.

Children can use computer programs to learn or improve basic skills: academic, reading or artistic. They can communicate easily, aided by the growing use of internet in homes and schools. Computers are becoming more powerful, allowing children to access presentations, pictures, text and audio.

Because ocmputers are everywhere, and are promoted at school, kids are constantly exposed to them but not everyone is happy about this. The Alliance for Childhood want to stop kids using computers, partly because of the costs and the health effects that it can cause. It's uncertain what effect computers have on children, but even though there isn't enough information about it yet, the possibility of negative effects are serious enough to put children's computer use under consideration.

About a month ago I noticed problems with software when trying to run for installation or play. It was a no go.Strange, I thought, this has not happened before. I carefully checked the software for any signs of wear and tear, including minute scratches, but all was well. My Norton had just died, hit it's one year mark.
I looked up Berlac and found that my security system status was running at 3.75 out of 10. Yikes! I have also noticed that in the last few days my mail is v-e-r-y slow. And I do mean SLOW.
LSS - I just purchased the new version (could finally afford it)of Kapersky, tried to install this morning, and "Please insert a disk into Drive d" popped right up. Again. I can get no further. I have plenty of free memory, have run clean up and defragmenter, get all the necessary patches, etc at Microsoft. I have 2000 Prof OS, 1.67 gig AMD Athlon XP, 128 kilo primary memory cache, 256 kilo secondary, 80.02 gigs usable hard drive, 65.76 gigs free space, 480 megs installed, 512 AO.
I would love to try some of these techniques, but not being a real techie, you would have to explain to me how I would go about doing each one of them. Thanks!

I've had that problem....I had to reformat my computer lol. It would be spyware slowing down your computer. As for the CD/DVD drive, it could be 2 things. It is dead or it lost connection with the computer. If it lost connection a reboot will normally fix this problem. Uninstalling the device and allowing windows to reinstall it's generic driver may also help

EDIT: Right-click My Computer and select Manage. From here click on device manager from here u will be looking for CD/DVD-ROM drives. Click the "+" to expand it and right click the one that is there and uninstall.

Restart you computer and it should automatically detect it and install the generic drivers. email me if u need further help

I will upgrade the ram to 3gb so that shouldn't be an issue, however, is the Video card incapable of running WoW at high settings? (I assume its DDR2) as my current 8600m GT only provides around 10-20 FPS during 25 man raids and below 15 in Dalaran (everything max except shadows up one notch), I am unsure as to how the mobility Radeon 3650 will cope in comparison; been on notebookreview and the site indicates that the 3650 is on par or better than the 8600m GT, nevertheless, after reading numerous threads about the card, there seem to be many mixed reviews. I have no issues with playing around 15 FPS currently, but if this graphics card will be unable to provide such a number in Dalaran/25 man raids at the above settings, I may cancel the replacement and provide an engineer to fix my current laptop.

Furthermore, will the 17" screen size reduce my frame rates by a significant amount and will the upgrade in CPU provide a large FPS boost?

If anyone with a studio 17" could provide me with some rough indication as to how it performs in various areas of WoW, it would be much appreciated. Whether or not the card can be overclocked would also help

OK. the graphics card on this laptop si beter than the one oyu have now. you are incorrect in assuming the ram is ddr2. it is infact ddr3. this will provide some improvement in gaming.

For wow you will probably see slightly better frame rates, but if you had to, I would drop the resolution of the screen down. the screen size won't matter as much as the resolution on that screen.

If there is an option to upgrade the video card for the lap top, take it. the cpu WON'T ncrease fps at all. the only bottle neck on the laptop is the graphics card. so if you can't upgrade it, might as well not waste your money on the cpu upgrade.

Hope this helps

The Rebellion is waiting
