A while ago, I asked some questions about setting up security on a wireless network at home. I got excellent answers and am now all set up with WPA2.
Time for a new issue. As I indicated earlier, I have an HP laptop with Windows Media Centre (XP Pro SP2). Twice now, I've set the darned thing up and discovered that the CD/DVD recorder freezes the laptop up when I insert a DVD or CD; not always, mind, just most of the time. It really screws me up. I thought at first it was Nero 6, but I don't have that installed this time and it still happens.
By the way, I called HP and actually ended up sending the unit back to them (What a hassle!). They apparently did something to the motherboard, but fixed nothing. Then they told me I was out of software warranty so couldn't get any help from them at all, unless I wanted to pay big bucks for them to tell me to reinstall.
I'm only a few weeks from retirement and I'm going to do another clean install when I have some time, but I wondered if anyone else has experienced a similar problem.
Cheers,
John B.
