    The last time I looked on their web site, LG lists various brands for individual types of burnable disks, but only ONE brand for all types. That brand is sold as the Verbatim brand in North America.

    For any optical drive, you’re not likely to have a problem with a brand of disks not listed in their compatible media list if it’s a CD-R or a DVD-R, but you MAY have problems if it’s another type of burnable disk.

    Never install more than one burning program that did not come with Windows in Windows. (XP has a simple CD burning program built into it.)
    If you do install more than one they’re likely to clash with each other and cause you problems.

    If you’re using Roxio’s burning program, it may have bugs. See if there are any updates available for it.
    If updates are available I recommend you do this BEFORE installing them (and you should also do this BEFORE you install the Roxio software initially).

    NOTE that sometimes the resident module(s) of anti-malware programs – a part that runs all the time scanning for suspicious activity – will interfere with the proper installation of third party software, or major Microsoft updates that cannot be installed automatically by Automatic Update, the software will not install properly, and you may get no indication of that at all while installing the software.
    To avoid that possibility, you should always DISABLE the resident module(s) of anti-malware programs, BEFORE you install third party software (software other than most Microsoft Updates, etc., that did not come with Windows ), especially when it’s a major or complicated software package.
    E.g. if you are using the free or paid version of AVG, you should disable the Resident Shield in AVG’s ‘s settings in Windows (in AVG 2012 that’s done under the title AntiVirus). In Norton (Symantec) products, there may be several things you need to disable, or set so they don’t load for a specific short amount of time.
    If you don’t know how to do that, tell us which anti-malware software you are using.
    When you are sure the software has installed correctly, re-enable the resident module(s).

    I tested, and am successfully using a solution to this problem. It starts with installing the DD-WRT 3rd-party firmware on a common wireless router, as suggested above by ace_omega. However, for my purposes, I configured my router as a client rather than a bridge or repeater.

    Unfortunately, for you, I don’t believe you will be able to install DD-WRT on your Westell 7501 router. The good news is that there are a great many routers that are compatible with DD-WRT and you should be able to find one selling (on eBay for example) for pocket change.

    Here’s what you need to do:

    1 – Get yourself a router that appears on the following list:

    http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.ph…

    2 – Avoid any that appear on this page:

    http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.ph…

    3 – Read this:

    http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.ph…

    4 – Go to DD-WRT’s download page, and enter your router model in the white box.

    http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/…

    5 – Download the DD-WRT firmware that has been approved for your device.

    6 – Read the installation instructions that are specific to your device.

    7 – Install DD-WRT. Reset router.

    8 – Open the DD-WRT control panel in your browser (192.168.1.1).

    9 – Within DD-WRT, go to “Status” > “Wireless.”

    10 – Click on “Site Survey.”

    11 – Click “Join” next to the wireless access point to which you wish to connect.

    12 – When you see the message saying that you have successfully joined the network, click “Continue.”

    13 – The screen will automatically take you to “Wireless” > “Basic Settings” where you will see that DD-WRT has changed your wireless mode to “Client” and set your SSID to the same as the access point you have elected to join. Click “Apply Settings” to confirm these changes.

    14 – Watch the information presented in the top-right of the DD-WRT control panel. Within a minute or so, a “WAN IP” should appear indicating that your router has successfully connected.

    15 – You should now be able to connect through your router by plugging into one of its LAN ports.

    I conducted my testing at a friend’s apartment so I could look at things from the perspective of his router as well. I was able to successfully connect to his router by setting my router in bridge mode. I did not, however, need to make any sort of configuration changes to his router to enable successfully bridging to it. (In post #3 of this thread, you said that one needs to configure both sides to enable bridging.) My friend reset his router to factory defaults before we started just to be sure there was nothing that might confuse things.

    While I was using bridging mode, all of my requests were forwarded on to the upstream router (as you said they would in post #6 of this thread). For example, my PC showed up on the upstream router’s list of DHCP leases. Bridging should work for LieBot if he is only looking to connect one machine, or if the apartment complex in which he lives does not limit the number of connections (which is probably the case). However, it would not have worked for me as I was looking for a way to connect multiple machines through one upstream connection. Hence my need to use ‘client’ mode instead.

    Curt R

    One reason I conducted my testing at a friends’s apartment was so that I could be sure that I was not at any point allowing my wireless router to present itself as an access point anywhere on University grounds. After configuring my router as a client, I confirmed that it did not present itself as an access point, nor did it in any way effect the ability of people to connect to the upstream router using a variety of WiFi-enabled devices. After extensive testing, I am very certain that use of my client-configured router will not cause any problems for any of my University neighbors. But, thanks for your input !

    Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) 3.0 supports up to 224MB of video memory; system memory is allocated where it is needed dynamically.”

    Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family
    Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT 3.0) questions and answers
    http://www.intel.com/support/graphi…

    Excerpts:

    “What is Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)?
    DVMT is a concept used in the Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset family and the Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset family wherein the optimum amount of memory is dynamically allocated and de-allocated as needed for balanced 2D/3D graphics and system performance. DVMT allocates the proper amount of display, texturing, and buffer memory after the operating system has booted.”

    “When is DVMT triggered?
    DVMT is triggered any time an application needs video memory above the amount that has been pre-allocated. It is triggered again when an application no longer requires the extra memory and the memory needs to be returned to the operating system.

    DVMT may also be triggered at boot time if a screen resolution is set that requires more memory than the total amount set as pre-allocated memory.

    Will DVMT always get the memory requested?
    DVMT may not always get the memory being requested. It is up to the operating system to decide whether the request for additional memory will be granted or not. DVMT allows the operating system to make this important decision based on availability of system memory resources and other requests it may be receiving. “
