I have Windows XPSP2 installed on my Dell desktop. I have tried to use the Roxio DVD recorder but get a message that "DMA is switched of" How do I switch this on, the instructions in the Dell Owners Manual are NOT clear. I am 82 by the way!!!

Try this:
To ensure your drives are operating in DMA mode: (1) Control Panel, (2) System, (3) Goto the Hardware Tab, (4) Device Manager, (5) IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, (6) Right Click on Primary IDE Channel --> Properties, (7) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK,(8) Right Click on Seconady IDE Channel --> Properties, (9) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK, (10) Reboot.
Good luck! Let us know if it helps...........
