Here's a strange twist: I can play old DVDs I burned on the Circuit City unit, but when I copy them in Toast (porting over the Audio and Video files), again the unit gives me a "No disc" error. These disks all play on the Mac.

No, same media. Thanks for the thought, though.

Yes, I know I should upgrade to DVD SP 2 or 3, but... Used to be able to burn DVD-Rs that played in my $30 basic Circuit City unit. Now, after a hard drive reformat, the DVDs burned don't play in that unit. I get a "No Disc" message. Yet, the DVDs will play on the Mac. Thought I might...

Okay I will replace the drive BUT... Can I still get that Entourage database info to work again? I have used new account names and moved the database and database cache files over, but the program still won't start (or crashes) when trying to reference that information. Thank you again...

Any advice for pulling out the messages from that rogue Entourage account?

Two updates: First, the SMART status says "Failing." This can't be good. Can it be fixed or am I racing against the clock. Second, I was able to open Entourage by removing the prefs file. Turns out that one of my accounts is crashing the program, and that account was last used/first...

I will try this, working backward, as I can't get Entourage to even fully engage. So, based on the suggestion, I should move out the plist, try to start Entourage again (as a new user) and then work toward getting the list ported back in, right? If this works/doesn't work, is there a way...

Entourage will not open up suddenly. Quits with one of those "would you like to send a report to Apple?" notes. Other MS Apps seem to work fine. Tried to reinstall Entourage on a related HD, still no go. Afraid to reinstall over the original for fear of losing all messages, etc. Ran...

It's the first time I've seen Toast get "hung up." I burned the initial DVD-R disk from the hard drive, then went to copy the information from this DVD-R to another (blank) DVD-R using Toast Titanium. I have been able to go direct from the HD to DVD-R, but thought I could "bypass" those...

Went to burn a 14 minute DVD-R to another DVD-R disk (same brand), and decided to let Toast (the latest version) do the trick. Started off fine, but the burn got slower, and sloowwer, and ssllloooowwwweeer. The move from :16 left to :15 left took a half-hour. Finally, I went to bed and awoke...

Based on everyone's comments, I've done an afternoon's worth of testing. More recently purchased commercial DVDs do work. They open the DVD player, and play out. DVD-Rs are iffy. Some will play, others just have the disk spin and spin, never mounting and never showing up on the desktop...

First I just want to thank everyone who has responded quickly, and the managers of the board for this valuable site. This is not a first generation Emac (to my knowledge). It's a 700 MHz running a combo drive, a Philips CDD5101. The DVD player software is version 4.0. I also use the...

Appreciate the prompt response. I checked both the sales slip and the computer itself, and it does show as a combo drive. -- B. Hammer

Stupid question department, but the combo drive on my Emac does not read DVDs. Never has. I know I can't burn DVDs on the unit, but shouldn't it at least recognize a DVD? I put them in and nothing happens. The DVD player software doesn't even recognize the disk. Don't seem to have success...

I've had a problem with an Epson printer and Wordperfect (where the times font kept getting clipped), but I think it's less a wordperfect problem and more a times font problem (though MS Word has no trouble here). Question is, how many places should be showing the font? I've got it in the 9.2...

Corel stopped making the program for Mac, so I don't think anything for the platform exists other than the 8/9 update.

If you to the link below, there's a hyperlink to both the program and the os 8/9 update: http://acmfiles.csusb.edu/corel/wpmac.html There's several other ways to get the free program as well.

Thanks for the response, but I've done that. Wherever I move the right hand margin to (1 in, .5 in, .75 in, 1.25 in), the epson stylus c82 will clip the last few right hand letters. It does respect the margin, but seems to push the text "over the edge." Any other thoughts? On an...

Epson c82 is cutting off the right-hand margin of wordperfect documents. It does not do this to MS Word documents (in OS x) but, then again, Word likes to play with text placement when switching views. Any advice? I've reinstalled new drivers, etc.
