This is what it was meant to do:ĪnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive, allowing you then to backup the movie using a DVD backup tool such as CloneDVD and CloneDVD mobile. Q: How do I move fonts from my old computer to my new one? My logo and letterhead are in Bernhard Fashion font, but the new computer doesn’t have it.Click to expand.Not really as that is not what AnyDVD was meant to do.

Then uninstall all the DVD software, including files that say “DVD,” “PCFriendly” or “Cinemaster.” Reinstall and reboot.

Follow the instructions precisely or you’ll really be hosed. First, make extensive backups.īegin by reinstalling your video drivers, which you can do by starting at Dell’s Web site, at. You didn’t mention whether you had installed anything on your box recently, but in any event, it’s likely that there’s a software corruption somewhere that’s screwed things up. The top layer is semitransparent, so when the laser gets to the end of the first layer, boosting its power will enable it to read through the first layer and see only the data on the second, lower layer. In addition, lots of movie DVDs encode data in two layers on the disc, one on top of the other. The DVD can hold more information than the CD because it uses a shorter wavelength of laser light, which in turn can read smaller “pits” used to encode the information on the disc. Why is detecting a DVD-ROM different from detecting a CD-ROM?Ī: Detection differs because the discs are based on different technologies, and, in all likelihood, you use different software to access them on your computer. The drive will properly access CD-ROM discs, but when I insert a DVD-ROM or DVD-video disc into the drive nothing happens. Q: I’m having trouble getting my PC to read DVD-ROM discs. In our view, you should avoid working with sensitive documents in a networked environment. Security always comes down to a balance between convenience and safety.

What we told them-and what we’re clarifying for you-is that any computer system that is networked is less secure than a non-networked system. The good folks at Intuit, which makes Quicken, dispute that and challenged us to provide an example of how their secured system has led to an intrusion. First, some fallout from last week’s column, in which we declared that the display of banner advertisements in Quicken 2000 is a huge security issue.
