hah, I'll check them out then.
One thing that's pissing me off right now is that I'm getting the dreaded "Power Callibration Error" message when I try to burn DVDs.
It burned CDs, but it can't burn a DVD, it doesn't even get to 1%, I've tried different programs, different speed settings, but one thing I
haven't tried is different Disc Manufacturers.
I've been using the same discs for AGES and I've never had a problem so...
I'm using an Optiarc 18x AD-7191S (DVDRW / CDRW + Lightscribe)
any ideas? Kind of off topic but if it's actually the DVD Laser then I'll have to spend £15 + shipping from ebuyer..

Either your drive is faulty, or you're using dodgy discs. The latter is more likely, there is a lot of bad DVD media around. I use exclusively Verbatim discs, and have never had a problem.

hah. Okay ;).
Well I'm QQ'ing at the moment because I installed Windows 7 on my PC, formatted my C Drive with everything important on my D drive, and now I have no sound. I've come to gather that windows 7 isn't recognizing my Sound card "Creative Labs AudioPCI", it's an old one and the drivers are only for "N.T 4.0, Win9x)...I downloaded the drivers anyway and It just says "Remove only or Remove and Install" so I click "remove and install" and it doesn't seem like it installs it just skips to the next page and says "If you would like to Reinstall again just rerun SBSETUP.exe"
So unless I fix this I'll have to buy a Vista-Compliant Card.

Correct, most Creative sound cards (including some brand new ones) have no drivers for Vista at all, and some more do but have very limited features.

haha, yeah I think I'm going to go with the cheaper one. I'll look at the feedback and see what happens.
To be honest I just want to listen to my Music (which was erased when I formatted my C Drive because I'm a dumb c**t and I left it on the desktop, and then when Win7 made a windows.old folder I deleted that too, permanently)
haha, we'll see what happens I guess.

Lol, been there done that, had D:/Music ever since :P
To be honest, for commonality reasons and CMSS (I like my upscaled music) I think I'm going to buy another Audigy SE (my old one broke it seems) for my gaming PC, and initially, try the onboard audio on my X38-DS4 for my 24/7 PC, as that has good microphone features. If its performance is that bad, I'll drop it for that Asonic I think.

lmao well..
I'm either going for the Trust PCI 5.1 Surround card
or the Asonic USB card
the difference is £2.50
the USB card would save me time opening the pc, finding a screwdriver, fitting it in, plus it's Compact so I can use it anywhere...
What do you think? I'm not going to spend £25 on an Audigy SE since I'm saving for PC Parts and even though it's only a tenner or so more, still...

hexus? eh? What's Hexus?
edit -
the drivers for the Audigy SE only say "Windows 7 32-Bit" I have 64 bit..
edit 2 -
a bit off topic but just wondering if I should get this DVD drive - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149639
Samsung is a good manufacturer isn't it?

I think this is because Creative's Win7 drivers are beta stage.
Hexus is a forum directly affiliated with Scan and Corsair.
The burner is OK, but a lot of people complain about Samsungs as a lot of them don't bit-set. I don't know if that does or not, but I've had no issues with my LG burner. A GH22NS30 will do you fine.

Thanks :).
Fingers crossed this should all work, and the drivers too.
Fingers crossed that citylink don't get to the door you have to buzz to get in and think "oh my god the door, it wont open!" and drive back to the warehouse 3 times in a row like last time.

I wouldn't count on it. Ninja-carding is why I try not to use companies that use citylink unless it's necessary when I'm at home. It's fine when I'm at uni because all you do is walk inside (automatic doors, yeah!) and there's usually always a guy there.
