[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] IKES! That can't be good. I'm not sure I get why so many sofware and peripheral companies (I'm looking at you, RealPlayer) feel entirely justified in installing so much stuff into your task bar (or whatever that little zone is bottom right). My grandfather bought my grandmother a Dell laptop with XP Home on it so she could learn the internet (and spare him typing in all her emails). Anyway it felt like I was going at it with hedgeclippers just with the pre-installed software looking for updates and checking on the other pre-installed stuff. And that's just legit stuff, without any mal-ware. But so yeah, that stuff could be eating clock cycles or loading a complicated screen-saver could potentially interrupt your burning... There's like buffer underrun prevention stuff that's supposed to significantly reduce the number of coasters you make, but I've never been entirely clear on whether that's hardware (on the drive) or software. At any rate it doesn't exactly make for 100% success rates. Even on beautiful and perfect shiny new macs. I was burning stuff across my home network instead of locally, and got bored and played Halo online in the middle. Turns out that was less than smart. [/QB][/QUOTE]
