Did you push in the reset for long enough? If you stopped even one second early, it won't reset. It usually says 10 seconds (I have the speedbooster version too), but I normally leave it in for like 20 seconds to be sure. But the admin/admin thing looks like it should work, so try that first. 8) Th...

You probably need to use another O/S, earlier windows version to reformat the disk, THEN reinstall windows XP, and hope that Vista didn't update the bios or damage something.

I think it is a hoax. Someone try it though. It sounds good in practice, but certainly someone here has taken car doors apart and can tell us one way or another whether the doors are sealed tight enough to create that sort of internal pressure. When they come from the factory (better quality cars, ...

the core race is just like MHZ race which INTEL stopped. You need smarter CPU and larger... This is a step towards a smarter (faster) very large array computer, that uses a lot less power, and produces a lot less heat while completing more calculations (all any computer ever does) As intel said now...

A slipstream should work for any machine, it's just a fully up to date copy of windows. even better is a disk image of a fresh clean install on a bootable CD/DVD, but that is specific to your machine with all hardware EXACTLY the same, and you have to make a new one after every update of hardware or...

It sounds like some service/process it needs is not starting.
A quick google of AdminWorks shows many compliants about it and several "FIX it/REMOVE it" links (can't tell you which are trustworthy :( )
Sounds like it frequently borks something on install that the uninstall doesn't fix.

Epsons do an excellent job of printing on DVD's (a little slow best for 1 to 5 copies).
I'm fairly sure they have some all-in-ones can that can do that.
