Yeah I've seen that issue before with that make/model of drive and Vista. I think it was related to some CD burning software that the user had put on the computer. Try removing Nero or whatever you use to burn DVD's and see if that fixes it.
Can any kind soul out there recommend a good photoshop tutorial for someone who has never..err..touched photoshop before. I looked up some on google and its very hard to understand what they are trying to say....this coming from a guy who does math on a piece of paper for a living..go figure.

It's the way I learned it, sat down with Photoshop 8 quite a few years back and decided to learn. Now I do pretty extensive PS whork from time to time, and I've never read a guide.
but you'll get tons of good ones if you just google "photoshop tutorial basic"
Lynda.com (if you use the software drag-down menu you can select other versions, as PS4 has substantially more videos) and Total Training are the two companies in the forefront when it comes to video tutorials for Adobe software and between those two, Lynda sticks out in so much as they offer tutorials based on what you might be doing with the software (for example, information based on photography or web design instead of development – although I see TT has started to grasp this as well now).
There’s also VTC (Virtual Training Company) and Kelby Training.
Managed to sort it after contacting Dell and being given a link to a page they had on the issue which autmatically sorted it all. Tried your methods though guys so thanks for your help.
The others have made good recommendations for tutorials. I tackled Photoshop by posing a specific problem then trying to research and solve it. Work one small step at a time and don’t let the huge menu frustrate you.Can any kind soul out there recommend a good photoshop tutorial for someone who has never..err..touched photoshop before.

Good luck and good ‘Shopping.
Some dark secrets in your past, eh?
Ok I have last question before I buy it on Tuesday what the difference Windows 7 Home premium Upgrade and Home premium?
Upgrade Version is cheaper by $100 than Home Premium.
(Yes I checked their windows 7 website but it didn't say much at all)
Upgrade requires that you have Windows Vista or Windows XP installed before hand.
However, I'd still recommend doing a clean install.
I managed to do a clean install with a Home Premium upgrade disk from Windows 7 Enterprise, though this upgrade disk was from my laptop manufacturer, so it may have been different.
I just updated a desktop last week from Vista Home Prem to 7 Home Prem, went smoothly and sped the machine up, apart from that fact that I had to install the audio drivers myself.
It would probably have functioned even better if I had made a clean install, but I felt like leaving things as they were as it was not my machine.
1. Don't pay for it
2. x2 on a Clean install
Anyone know why the f*ck my UPS sometimes doesn't kick in when I lose power.
Okay I have done this 4 million times before, and all of a sudden it's not working, I have a background, now I selected the rectangle tool, made the color black, I draw an outline, why does it not show up?
Here is a screenshot. Photoshop.
whooops figured it out.

How old are the batteries? They have a limited lifespan, probably around 3-4years.
I've had it for a bit over 2 years.
