    And Laptop RAM is MUCH shorter than desktop RAM.

    http://www.networkworld.com/subnets…

    You mentioned that the RAM may have come from a server. If that’s the case, it’s probably ECC RAM. It’s notched exactly the same as non-ECC DDR2, but it may not work in a standard desktop machine. Also, being that it’s a 4GB stick, you’d have to confirm that your board accepts sticks that large. However, you should not mix ECC & non-ECC. One other thing to be aware of – ECC RAM is slower than non-ECC.

  3. The samsung link has a download for the manual. It describes setting up audio output. Video output from the TV isn't all that clear but it talked about using a computer as an external monitor via HDMI but that you may need to set up a separate audio connection as that connection may not pass audio.IRead more

    The samsung link has a download for the manual. It describes setting up audio output. Video output from the TV isn’t all that clear but it talked about using a computer as an external monitor via HDMI but that you may need to set up a separate audio connection as that connection may not pass audio.

    I suggest you download the manual and have a look at it and then maybe do a little experimenting. The manual is 224 pages but I just did a search for the word ‘output’ to get that information.

    What program are you using to burn the disc?

    Are you trying to produce a CD for playing only on a computer?

    If you are trying to produce a normal, standard, domestic audio disc there is no need to format (it is undesirable). Try this small free program, which is easy to use. Don’t be fooled by the name, it is nothing to do with Windows XP, works fine in all Windows versions and produces DVDs as well as CDs:

    Otherwise tell us exactly what you are doing, including file types, and when you get this message.

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

    As a follow on to this thread, can someone help me with the following question. Doe sit matter if I buy Windows 7 or Widnows 7 upgrade to achieve the same results.
