    Are you just trying to burn an ISO file to a DVD or (I suspect) are you trying to extract an ISO to a DVD so you can run an operating system from the DVD?

    PS. Lightscribe is a technique used to create text and black & white images to the top of special discs that are lightscribe capable. It is not brand of burner.

    I don’t know of any “refresh” feature. I have always done it the same way you do it, by basically starting over. I just asked my assistant who does mail merges all the time and she doesn’t know of any way to refresh the source either.

    That said, neither of us are Word experts and there aren’t that many Words experts that hang around in this forum. I don’t mean this to sound harsh, but please, go someplace else. 😉

    In other words, there are a few forums directly dedicated to Word where MS MVP’s hang out. Perhaps they know of a better way to accomplish your goal.

    Here is one such group, but there are certainly others:

    If you do find an answer, it would be nice if you could come back here and post the solution in this thread, even though I just sent you packing. 🙂

  4. Overclocking the CPU should help overall performance, but it can't make up for too little RAM or a weak graphics card. If your games lag or stutter, try dialing back the game settings & use a lower gaming resolution.message edited by riider

    Why this preoccupation with IP addresses. At best all an IP address with tell you is what country the individual is in. Depending on the ISP being used it might even tell you what part of the country but that’s is about all.

    Anything else requires information for the ISP that own the IP address and they are not going to reveal that from some random request.

    If that doesn’t do the trick then power off the computer and give the offending key twelve or more very firm taps – this sometimes works, at least for a while.

    Otherwise replace the keyboard or embarks on a much more complex repair.

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

    “Exception of new ram and Graphics card but still worked.”

    Which graphics card ?

    Your power supply must have at least the minimum capacity required to support a system with the graphics card you are using installed, or the max graphics card you might install in the future.
    (Onboard video – video built into the mboard – IS NOT A CARD ! )
    If that info is not in the ad for the video card, you can go to the video card maker’s web site and look up the specs for the model – often under system requirements – the minimum PS wattage, and, more important, the minimum amperage the PS must supply at 12v is stated. If you don’t find that, any card with the same video chipset including any letters after the model number has very similar minimum PS requirements. Some power supplies have two or more +12v ratings – in that case, add those ratings to determine the total +12v current capacity.

    If you’re a gamer…
    In most if not all cases, the max capacity rating of the PS is an intermittent rating. It’s recommended that you do not load your PS to any more that 80% of that rating if you are going to be using something that puts a constant load on it, such as playing a recent game for hours on end. In that case, you multiply the min capacity stated for the system with the particular video chipset on the card by 1.25 to find the min. capacity of the PS you should have.

    “Power Supply: XFX: XXX Edition – XPS-650W-3XS”

    That may not have enough capacity, depending on which video chipset is on the video card, or it may have been defective.

    Power supplies that don’t have enough capacity for when the video chipset on the card is installed often work fine when you first install the card, but the power supply is being overloaded and it WILL be damaged, sooner or later.

    ” I have recently attempted to power only mobo and CPU with 400W and still nothing.”

    If the video chipset on the card requires a minimum of a lot more than 400 watts, the computer probably will not boot when the card is installed.

    Try your “XFX: XXX Edition – XPS-650W-3XS” with the computer you got the 400 watt power supply from, or with whatever working computer. If it doesn’t work with that computer, either you have damaged it or it’s defective.

    E.g.
    My brother had a high quality Antec model that had a defective controller chip. If you placed a small additional load on the power supply, in his case when he tried to burn a CD, it black screened and rebooted the computer.
    I have an old K6-III 400 system that also has a defective controller chip – it’s average quality power supply shuts off the mboard when you plug an external drive into a USB port (it draws 500ma @ +5v – 2.5 watts) !

  8. Yeah, fans and drives spinning up doesn't guarantee the PSU is good. The motherboard requires additional voltages to run properly.Was the problem with the other two not a possibility with the third? Could someone else in the household have fiddled with them?

    This is one source for manual…

    http://cache-www.belkin.com/support…

    page 20 explains the various flahing lights interpretations

    Suggest you go through the setup as new routine, as having actually “reset it” rather than simply rebooting it… all settings will have beeb reset to as delivered. Which means there will a few essential bits of info you need to supply. The manual (link above) will take you through it all.

    Generally wise(r) to avoid a reset of a router when having problems, at least until you have tried a simple reboot or power cycle (power down, remove power cord too. Wait about a minute or three, and then power up again).

    A simple reboot often clears minor problems that can cause all manner of connection issues, and “doesn’t erase any settings you have made during “your” setup. A reset as johnw and I both comment “does” erase all user settings – and you have to go through the whole setup again.
