I can't use a website should I use with Firefox 5.0. So, I need to uninstall and go back to 3.5 or 3.6. Please notify. Also, my control panel blocks from Windows Explorer a PMP. That's why I use Firefox instead. Thanks for any help!
I thought it would be FAFSA is causing your problem.
Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x on your hard drive to a Web site. This will not affect any of your current Firefox installation.

What is the best strategy to migrate data from Windows to one Mac to another? I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my current Mac but want to use Bootcamp on my new.
If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.

M30X MultiDrive won't burn a DVD from Windows Movie Maker
Hello
My MultiDrive M30x will not burn the DVD from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
I also had problems with burning CDs (unbranded) of Windows XP, built in utility.
The multidrive has problems with cheaper brand discs?
Just to note,
The laptop was to support guys three times until various issues.
(1) the hard drive failed.
(2) the multidrive has failed.
(3) the motherboard replaced, due to power outages, it would not charge the battery, or recognize that the AC adapter is plugged.Note: The hard drive, not the fan made the most noise in mine!
Thank you
Hello
As far as I know (i.e. pre-installed burning software Save now, drag-and - drop) disabled the option of Windows XP burning. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you need to activate this possibility.
Please, go to the properties of the drivers (right click). Please select the recording tab. CD recording option on this drive must be marked.
I use the software Nero burning and in my opinion he of one of the best burning programs. In addition, you should try different manufacturers CD/DVD because some CD and DVD is not compatible with some readers. Check the TDK CD and DVD. I never had no problem with these media.Best regards
