Michael was very helpful. He had me uninstall &#38; reinstall using the GOTD registration key and a fresh copy from their download site. This cleared up the problem for me.

If you uninstall it, you cannot watch a movie using the Dell Media center. In fact, the option for a DVD isn't even there. Just Music, Pictures, Videos (not DVD), and Extras (games &#38; such). Since I never used it, I will leave it uninstalled. No change in the burning performance. I have noticed a heavy lag and some freezing of Firefox on certain websites while using Returnil (turned ON), especially sites that use a lot of memory. Myspace and any video site are prime examples. I will keep everyone posted.

I am going to send them an e-mail right after I finish here. As for CD/DVD emulator software, I am not sure. I installed a lot of stuff that came with my computer (from Dell) but I left off the programs I knew I had problems with. About the only program I can think of that may fit this description is PowerDVD from Cyberlink. I guess it is used to play the DVDs on the computer. I assume it was on the computer before I had to reformat, even though I have never used it. I prefer to watch my DVDs on a larger screen. </p> <p>On further inspection I notice that the Dell Media Experience is also made by Cyberlink. I think I will uninstall the PowerDVD first and see if that solves my problems. Thanks for the leads.

I will try scanning for adware, but I am pretty sure that is not the problem since we just reformatted a day or two before I installed Returnil. I haven't even had a chance to get adware since I have spent most of my time reinstalling my purchased programs. I lost all the good ones from GOTD. I would like to contact Michael at Returnil though. How do you suggest I contact him Alex? Is there a link on the GOTD site, such as in a forum or on the comment boards? Thanks for your help!

I figured that it would be a good product to use since I am tired of reformatting my computer every year. I had no problems installing it and the system seems pretty stable. I have had it lock up once, but I can chalk that up to Microsoft. A problem that I have discovered though is with my cd/dvd copying and burning software. I have Nero 6 (don't laugh, it works), Imgburn, and DVDFab 5.2. All are legit copies, so there is no question of bugs in the cracking. I have tried to burn several CDs and a couple of DVDs since I installed Returnil. I have had to slow the burn speed down to the lowest level or make a bunch of coasters. I have discovered though that if I exit completely out of returnil that my cd/dvd programs work ok. I can only assume that this problem arises from returnil. I have not tried to use these programs with the returnil program "on" just with it running in the background (in the "off" position.) I have a 2.53 Ghz cpu with 1 GB ram and over 100 GB free space on the hard drive. </p> <p>My question is, has anyone else had a similar problem with Returnil? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3148#post-26807 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:42:16 +0000 Lee 26807@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>No we cannot help.</p> <p>Once giveaway period has expired then, thats your lot, you use it till you format your hard disk or uninstall the application or game. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3148#post-26806 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:24:32 +0000 kay68 26806@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>My computer is getting really full with all the free giveaways on here.

If you're wanting to get away from the Nero bloatware, then you should give this program a try. The download size is about 4 MB. Like Daemon Tools, it uses the SPTD driver, which requires a reboot when you first install it.</p> <p>ImgBurn is still smaller and does not require the SPTD driver. However, the advantage of Astroburn is that it has an easier to use interface, so it would be a good program for people who are not exactly computer experts.</p> <p>And like Daemon Tools, don't forget to decline the toolbar installation.</p> <p>I saw it at: <a href="http://www.iexbeta.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.iexbeta.com/</a></p> <p>For software goto: <a href="http://www.disc-tools.com/download/astroburn" rel="nofollow">http://www.disc-tools.com/download/astroburn</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/897#post-10109 Fri, 14 Sep 2007 00:01:09 +0000 emptykiss 10109@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>bubby, thank you very much for this info. luv u guys here at GAOTD!!</p> <p>more power guys...</p> <p>^^</p> <p>GAOTD rocks!! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/897#post-10095 Thu, 13 Sep 2007 07:37:36 +0000 BuBBy 10095@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>"dvd print" is now shareware (due to costs of running a "covers site")</p> <p>CD Cover Creator is still freeware. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1253#post-7160 Wed, 20 Jun 2007 01:58:17 +0000 BuBBy 7160@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I have been using "WhereIsIt" for over 7 years.
