    Love the new DNI hookup though. So much easier being able to jack in and work in the scene instead of using a tablet, trackball, keyboard, and those clumsy archaic control sliders. :cheese:

    Do not use DIM with DS open. It will do a number on your Smart Content and other stuff.

    I am either ignored or getting too much attention. One guy I met at the mall already thinks he is my boyfriend. One guy was someone who works with me. I still have a crush on the guy who works for T-Mobile. There is a fourth guy interested in me too. I do not know why they are attracted to me. What makes me different from the other beautiful women at the mall. uggghhh

    People use T-Mobile in Raleigh, NC ( Research Triangle)? Wow. I wasn't aware at how popular T-Mobile is in the south.

    edit: Maybe I'm still stuck in the late 1990s when T-Mobile USA was Voicestream and had a smaller coverage area.

    edit 2: According to and old coverage map that I found, the Raleigh Durham area had coverage. Northern North Carolina and southern half of Virginia did not. I remember my old AT&T phone roamed onto Cingular's network when I was in Richmond. Then I had to pay roaming fees.

    Only get drivers from the manufacture website.

    Trying to look on the HP site for the right driver.

    If the BluRay drive is something you bought separately and added to your computer then you should look at the BluRay manufacturer's website first. If that fails then look at your computer manufacturer's website. Failing that, use the computer's Microsoft "Device Manager" dialog to help you find a driver. Failing that, echo the details of the drive, the computer, and the operating system here. We might have someone here who can help.

    But if you've got malware, you need to take care of that thoroughly and ASAP.

    Closing the barn door after the horse is stolen, a bit of advice is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER get drivers from a third-party website that advertises "we have drivers for everything". Use device manufacturer's site, or computer manufacturer's site, or Microsoft tools to find drivers. Or find a helpful person to do it right.

    The problems with third-party sites are:

    1) devices used to be simpler and their drivers were simpler and not as picky. Modern devices are very complicated and very picky about the firmware and software needed to drive them properly. Finding exactly the right driver is problematic. Finding exactly the right firmware is even more important.

    2) Catch-all driver distribution sites get their drivers from unknown volunteers who package up drivers and send them to the site. A perfect way to package malware for distribution to trusting souls.

    3) Installation of modern drivers can be complicated involving removal of older drivers and proper insertion of many many files in all the proper places best performed by a well designed installer. Third-party drivers may expect you to manually install the driver and give you instructions about as un-detailed as a typical DAZ readme.

    The free version of MalwareBytes is a good malware remover. However, it's not an anti-virus, just a malware remover I use it first on every machine that needs de-lousing.

    Be sure to get MalwareBytes directly from its manufacturer www.MalwareBytes.org (notice ".org", not ".com"!)
    When installing MalwareBytes be sure to read the checkbox options offered you. You don't need to take them up on their offer of temporary advanced features that will expire in a few weeks. Just install the free version and let it update itself to latest malware definitions and run a full scan. It does all that automatically now I think. But MalwareBytes free version only runs when you tell it to run, it does not sit in the background watching your web traffic, it just does a scan of your system and almost always anything that it finds can be safely removed when it gives you the list of what it found.

    That's an indication that it doesn't have the correct driver installed or its firmware is not reporting proper device information to the computer.

    What is your situation? Did you buy this BluRay drive separately? Are you on a laptop or a desktop? Is the BluRay device an internal device or an external device plugged in with a USB connection?
