My mother often has a problem with Windows not recognizing her burner as a burner but as a normal dvd player, as with millions of other Windows XP users. I’m not sure exactly what causes the problem but here is the solution:

1. On your Desktop, Right click on ‘My Computer‘ and choose ‘Manage’.
2. In the Left hand pane, click on ‘Device Manager‘.
3. Click the ‘+‘ sign next to ‘DVD/CD-ROM drives‘ to expand the list.
4. Right click on the Suspect DVD drive in the list below and choose ‘Uninstall‘
5. Click on ‘OK‘ to the warning that you are about to remove this item from your system.
6. Reboot the computer.
7. When Windows restarts it will reconfigure the drive back to it’s normal functional state.

Hope this helps!

Had my first fault in months today on my iPhone 3G. The screen just went blank, could hear messages and emails coming in but without a screen it was usless. I was about to do a full restore in iTunes when i remembered that the phone did that when it was new about 9 months ago, I had to call tech support then and they told me how to reset it. This is how you do it:

1. Press and hold down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simultaneously for a approximately 10 seconds.
2. The screen will go off and then the phone will reset itself.
3. The Boot Logo will then appear.
4. When the logo appears it means that the reset is done.
5. Give it a minute or 3 and then you will regain full functionality.

A huge sigh of relief!

3. Log back through Beejive IM.

Due to a corrupt database we lost the last 4 months worth of posts, bummerrrrr.

We haven’t lost any pics and we will slowly put them back, Zed is busy trying to rebuild what went wrong and has taken measures to ensure it wont happen again, live and learn.
We have the technology….we can rebuild this site better and faster than before!

Sorry Folks!
