[IPOD, the killer of computers?]

I have heard that if the GND and +5V pins short on a USB device that they can fry a motherboard's voltage regulator. [i.e. not good!].

Hi there,

1. You can upgrade the video from VGA to SVGA by installing Virtual Machine Additions.

2. I am not quite sure what you mean, as all virtual hard drives are the same type.

3. Sound should work automatically, and modems are not supported [as far as I know], but you can use the internet through LAN.

[Exploere.exe crashes]

Unfortunately, we can't really offer any help unless you give some more information, specifically:

• Vista version
  
• When does explorer crash, or is it random.
  
• How much RAM does your system have
  
• Any other odd things that have happened
  

[DVD burner problem]

Now that your PC is standing sideways, is your drive parallel to the ground [like _______], or perpendicular to it [like |]. If the drive is perpendicular to the ground, that could slow down burning.

Also, did you make any other changes to your PC recently, or are you using a different brand of DVDs.

[Longhorn on Virtualmachine]

MS VPC 2004 runs 5048 quite well, [Albeit slowly]. However, it looks terrible until the 'Virtual Machine Additions are installed.

[What do you think Longhorn should be called?]

Personally I like 'Longhorn', I can't see why they fuss over names!

[An unknown command line option and was specified]

Hello,

I had the same problem when running Longhorn 4074 from the hard drve [sATA].

I just went into 'Sources' and clicked on 'Setup.exe'.

Hope this helps!
