Old Machine!!old pentium 111, I will have you know young man this was the swifest machine in the entire North of England when one built it, one dedicate one cpu to run boring things on ones puter while one could dedicate a entire CPU to shooting down migs in Falcon4.
Thanks for the advice chaps
Aha!downloaded that power DVD thingy and machine is now happily playing the one DVD disc I have in Draper towers,
Now all I need is a CD burner utility that doesn't cause my machine to self destruct when I hit burn.
thanks again again peeps.
