Maybe worse. After reading the article posted above I hooked up my Plextor DVD burner, which I purchased solely for burning backups of my CDs and DVDs. Using the preloaded Roxio software and some 3rd party copyright-be-gone software I gave it a try. It would read, but not recognize the blank DVDs when it came time to write. Then I tried to load my tried and true Roxio Media Creator 7. This is what I got-



Hard to see through the bad quality but it says" This program is blocked due to compatibility issues" I used the same methods to copy my "print screen" in times past with good results. For some reason it looks bad this time. A Vista problem? Also, I can't open my Adobe photoshop which I use to convert the "prnt scrn" pdf to a jpeg. Another Vista problem?

I don't plan on sticking around to find out. The pos is going back to Best Buy tomorrow. Hopefully they won't sock me for the 15% restock as it won't use my software (or hardware for that matter) like they said it would.

Guess I'll have to nurse my XP unit along.
