I have an ipod touch 4g which can use VPN's. It works on this. So my login details/server are good. PIA give two different login details depending on the protocol. Neither work.

I still get the same error code.

sorry for the late reply.

I pretty sure i'm doing it right. i agree with you on the formats thing but does seem to be certain files not burning and others do, they will be the same format as well so must be something else. Maybe the ripping software i used in XP changed the file somehow. All but one album will burn since i a...

Ok i have made another revelation. If i right-click the audio file and click properties and look at 'contents indicated' The files that don't burn are missing a lot of info compared to the files that do burn correctly. e.g file that does burn to CD 'Audio file with ID3 version 2.3.0, contains: MPEG ...

I just tried it again new CD of course and it worked. Perhaps it is overheating and needs a break between burns. I wouldn't be surprise this laptop does get hot quickly now. I have to scale the CPU down too.

I chose Libreoffice but i don't use it often. Used to use openoffice, but i think libreoffice looks better. They are pretty much the same underneath the looks aren't they ? and of course it's free. I keep forgetting how amazing it is that puppy/linux is free and so is the software.

Perfect worked like a charm. I'm just burning it now so will let you know once i test the DVD how it is.
For me it was line 14. Not that it makes much difference just thought I'd say.

Thanks Sigmund :)

Apparently it can hold max 80mb ram: two 32mb ram slots + 16 mb on the system board. I guess you have a 16mb ram slot thing + the system one. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ptcd/Specs.htm You can buy some ram from here http://www.archmemory.com/memory.cfm/Dell-RAM-Latitude-Latitude-XP...
