Internet problems.... again & DVD Burner issues

Argh, first for some reason Ilost the ability to burn DVD's with my Sonic which really stinks because I tried running KPT and it said I didn't have enough memory. I check all of my drives and lo and behold I only have a total of about 35 gigs! This is outrageous because I have an external hard drive that's 200gigs (actually 189 after you take out the space they used to create the drive) - there's about 24 gigs left on that and maybe 3 on the C drive and the rest is on my E drive. All of a sudden Sonic decides that it doesn't want to burn to DVDs. It starts, gets to about 32 megs and poops out. So I have been trying now to burn to cd's so at least I can get some of the stuff off of my computer. I burned 7 last night and of course, it didn't do much. I had also wanted to start keeping the kits I make on DVD instead of storing them on the computer that way I have a backup (and I noticed that my files for my newest kit are up around 3 gigs!) I have a total of about 15 gigs of zips and files to burn off, plus my 3D content ARGH. Alex is trying to get it to work but after 4 hours of me not being able to get on my computer and having withdrawals, I kicked him off lol. The Internet keeps lagging and dropping us still, we had I think one day where there were no problems getting around but now it's back to hiccupping again.

So for now it's got to be burn things off slowly and get enough space to work in until Alex finds the patch for this stupid thing. This ought to be fun - burning off around 30 gigs of content 700 megs at a time (eyeroll). I still have my layouts to finish up and the new kit to put together for the store.

I just wanted to let you know that the Memory it is talking about.. Is not Hardisk memory.. It is RAM.. you can buy upgrade sticks of RAM and you just click them in and then you have more RAM(Random Access Memory)... Basically When you do Multitasking and all the programs that run at one single time.. you run out of RAM.. (Everything that is RUNNING at one time.) The more RAM the more programs you can run at one time. Hope that makes sence. :) Computer Programming Major comes in handy Occasionally. :) So dont worry you have Plenty of room on your Hard Drive :)

LOL Yes I know, I have 1GB of RAM, I upgraded that back when I got the external and the 256mg Video card. I have also allocated the max (or close to it) on all of my drives for RAM and virtual space. I just couldn't believe how much I had on my drives already. So burning off is going to take me forever. Thanks for the help ;)
