I recently bought a CD-Burner as a part of a computer upgrade. When I try to burn CD’s I get the error message ‘Buffer Underrun’ and the copy isn’t successful. This has happened one or two times in a six-month period but it is happening again. I would appreciate any help with this annoying problem. (more…)

I am a tracker ie. I use programs like fast tracker (music) and I need to be able to put my songs onto CD. I have an internal Kodak burner and I have my songs in either .wav or .mod format. I was wondering how do I actually copy the .wav and/or .mod songs onto CD. (more…)

I have a problem with installing Encarta. I bought MS Encarta last year and installed it with no problems. I used it many times after installation. Recently my computer “went” down” and I lost everything. I had to have the motherboard replaced. Since then I have tried to reinstall Encarta and have been unable to do so. When I try to install Encarta and put the CD in the D: drive, the following happens. I get the Setup window, then after pressing “next” and accepting the license agreement, the following message appears “An I/O error occurred while installing a file. This is normally caused by bad installation media or a corrupt installation file”. I can go no further. What is the problem? The Encarta CDs are the original CDs that I bought. Is it something with Encarta? Or a fault somewhere else in the system? It has been suggested that I should re-install Windows 95 but I am frightened that I may lose all the data that I have on my computer as I did when I had to have the motherboard replaced. (more…)
