Yet another late-night posting.....
Oct. 31st, 2009 01:39 amHaving another night where I can't sleep. I'm just not tired. And it's driving me crazy.
I think I have a workaround for the laptop memory. I put a Post-It note on the underside of the memory access panel, so that it would push and hold the memory chip down into the socket. But as someone once told me, "workarounds are not fixes". I'm worried that the compartment would become hot enough the the note to catch fire.
Still stumped on the DVD playback. It plays fine on the laptop (650 MHz Pentium III w/512 Mb memory) and M's gaming computer (2 GHz Celeron w/256 Mb memory). But on my high-end desktop (3 GHz Pentium IV w/2Gb memory), the audio and video are still choppy.
redaxe gave me some tips but none of them seemed to work. (Update: I trierd the other optical drive and it seems to work OK. I'll need to remember to not use the DVD burner for playback of DVDs.)
