Satellite P100 - BSOD when I try to write to a DVD or CD

I have a Satellite P100, when I try to write to a DVD or CD I get the blue screen, error 50, and my laptop closes down.
It doesn't matter what type of DVD or CD I use or which brand.
Also, I have an external DVD drive and the very same thing happens with this.
This only happens with blank discs and after I have formated it.
If I use a disc with even a very small file on it eg. one photo, the disc drive works perfectly.
It displays no other problems. The drive is a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-850S ATA device and I'm using Vista.
I've been told that Vista will not allow me copy copyrighted discs but this happens before I try to copy anything.

hi eddie-g,
nice problem you have here....
- which application do you use to burn a disc?
- are there more than one applications installed to burn?
- virtual drives installed?
- is there a log (mostly in the program directory) which gives some more info?
- any problems with reading a cd/dvd?
i only know a error "50" from toast, a mac application to burn...?!
i think best is to recover the system to make sure its not a software thing...
or deinstall every burning application and use only the windows features to write on a disc to make sure what kind of error kills your dvds...
it could be a hardware error too...

My Mac OSX is coming up with error message when i try to write a disc "The disc can't be burned because the disc drive is not accessible (error code 0x80020020)." Same also when I tried my external disc writer-any clues?

My Mac OSX (version 10.7.5) is coming up with error message when I try to write a disc "The disc can’t be burned because the disc drive is not accessible (error code 0x80020020)." I have tried several discs with the same message - Same also when I tried my external disc writer. Both disc drives will read my discs that have music or photos on it, it just won't write any new discs - any clues?

Hi Klaus1
So, I tried all the suggestions and followed the links - all to no avail.
as you can see, (screenshot below) my iMac is a 21.5 inch late 2009 model which isn't showing in the updates listed above
My system report shows that my Mac has the following:
I reset the PRAM and the SMC - still have the same error message when I try to burn discs. I've used both CD's and DVD's and tried with my external Discwriter too.
Any further suggestions??

Spinning circle * Thunderbird is not responding when I try to write or access emails. I had attempted to delete a bunch of old txt messages in seldom used Gmail

I saw I had almost 30,000 txt messages on a Gmail account that I had created a gmail account for on Thunderbird. I didn't realize that they were going here from Gmail. I highlighted all of them and attempted to delete them. The spinning circle finally went away and all of them were gone. But when I tried to do anything else on Thunderbird with my regular email accounts (Comcast & Hotmail), I would get a spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. I had to use Ctrl Alt Del and then reopen. I tried compacting but this morning when I tried to write an email from one of my Comcast emails in Thunderbird, again I got the spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. In order to do anything, I have to close the program by hitting Crrl Alt Del and try again.
My Trash Local folders says 8300.
This morning, when I tried accessing Thunderbird at the bottom of the taskbar it said, "downloading....of 17,000 to All Mail. Had no clue what that meant. I let it continue until all were and thought my issue would be resolved. But no. :(
Something obviously got corrupted in the program. What do I need to do to fix this?
Thank you.

When I try to write a new message or reply, mail becomes unresponsive

Hi hope someone can help, this is driving me nuts..
All my incoming and outgoing mail is working fine, but when I try to type a new email or reply, mail becomes unresponsive the window flashes and I am unable to type in the To, Subject or Message areas. If I click like mad in these areas sometimes it will respond and I am able to type.
I have gone though most of the fixes such as "rebuilding mailboxes" "deleting com.apple.mail.plist" etc but still the same.
Any ideas would be welcome..
thanks Rusty

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

When I try to backup catalog to DVD only a few of the pictures come through

When I try to gackup catalog on photoshop to a DVD only a few pictures come through. Seems to take a really long time.

Good day!
I am not familiar with »cataloges« in Photoshop – are you sure you are talking about Photoshop and not Photoshop Elements or some other application?

Bit Rate Too High error message when I try to burn 3 minute DVD

I imported a Quicktime Mov from FCP, and when I try to burn to DVD, I get this message.
This has me worried, becuase this 3 minute part is only 1/3 of the whole piece that I am trying to run as a test to check contrast, color balance etc.
I'm not sure what the bit rate is, how to change it or what to change it to.
I don't know if I need to do this in FCP or in DVDSP.
Any help would be appreciated.

Then
http://dvdstepbystep.com/fasttrackover.php to A.Pack Dolby the audio (when you scroll to the bottom there is a link to a movie showing all the steps, about 1 minute or so in you will see Compressor, you can download and scroll to that pint to bypass the Final Cut section)
And make sure to compress the movie outside of DVD SP in Compressor
Basically there is only so high the bitrate can go, regardless of running time of video. If you use one of the presets in Compressor you should be okay as long as you use the A.Pack/AC3 and not the audio

Satellite A60 - BSOD when surfing with wireless PCMCIA card

Hello i used to browse internet with a wireless cardbus WL-54-CB (ADVANCE) on my Satellite A60-120 running windows xp sp2.
I was working well until i decided to clean my computer which was slowed down by viruses.I use Ad-aware and Kaspersky and updated patches on wndowsupdate.Now the PC is clean but i have problems with the PCMICA card, when i launch IE i surf for one minute and windows crashe BSOD !
It displays :
STOP 0x00000001 (0xFE570000,0x00000002,0x00000001,0x819587DE)
Any ideas to fix it ?

Cmon Guys... Stop that Toshiba Recovery Disk madness... Its no use... The Recovery Disk is as old as your laptop.. maybe older... The whole bunch of drivers in there are old... Its no use... Look.. For example if you have an Nvidia graphic Chip, you have to install the newest Nvidia driver... Prefer using the Nvidia driver, never the driver from Toshiba... And besides... It is always better to install the system manually...
Back to the question... Since you had a virus I would recommend to reinstall your OS, even you think its clean... To solve your problem...
deinstall the wireless card driver
deinstall the PCMCIA driver and install the newest driver. Write down the Model and some other infos before deinstalling it :) ...
reinstall the wlan crad driver...
test it :)
I always recommend to make a system backup every month... So if things go wrong... Just restore the backup... and everything is fine again... :)

I have lost the ability to change fonts,use color and size and when I try to write anyone,I cannot see my mailing list and there is no send button.

A few months ago my ability to use different fonts, colors and sizes suddenly disappeared. These choices were always available when looking at my email and I used them regularly . No one I asked ever heard of such a thing happening. I left it alone until I found someone to help. Then, a few days ago, when I clicked "write" , two things happened. First, I could not forward, reply or even see my collected email addresses. Second, there was no longer a place that said "send". My email page filled the entire screen and when I scaled it down, there was still no way to see my list or to send. I am a novice when it comes to fixes and terms but, I have asked people who have some experience with PC's they were stumped. I contacted Fairpoint and they said it must be a Thunderbird problem. Most of the people I asked said they didn't know Thunderbird. One suggested that I reinstall T.bird but, said I also might lose everything on my PC. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, Jim

When you click Write and open the new message editor, press Alt to show the Menu Bar, then enable all the toolbars under View/Toolbars. Plus, press F9 to show the Contacts sidebar.

BSOD when I try to install windows 7 ultimate 64b

I've just build a computer and want to install windows 7 ultimate 64b on it.
But when I start the setup I allways get a bsod: Most of the time with this error: 0x00000124
I also had these: 0x0000007F, 0x0000009C
Computer specifications:
Mobo: MSI P45 Diamond
CPU: Intel core 2 Quad Q9650 3GHz
RAM: Kingston HyperX (KHX1600C9D3K3/6GX), I've put in 2 X 2GB in slot 1 and 3 atm.
Graphics: Powercolor radeon HD 6850 PCS+
PSU: OCZ ModXstream Pro, 600W
Anyone else who had this problem?
Has anyone ever tested this memory with this mobo?

2 passes isn't really enough. You should test the RAM for at least several hours to determine whether they are faulty or not.

To test each stick individually, do I have to make sure there is physically only 1 stick in the slots?
Yes.
Quote from: Dema32 on 22-January-11, 04:30:20
Let's assume the memory is fine. How can I check if the memory is compatible?
You could test some RAM that is on the compatibility list. If you still get BSODs you know it's not the RAM at fault.

When I try to write an email, many of the words get highlighted as if spelled wrong. They are not wrong

This doesn't happen when I use the internet explorer browser, only when I use Mozilla. This also happens when I reply to an email, not just on new emails. If I use spell check, it finds no wrong words and the lines do not go away. This is very distracting as it is very hard to tell the misspelled words from those that I have correctly spelled.

Firefox doesn't do email. Some webmail websites use their own spellcheck which overrides that which is in Firefox.
Another thing, if you aren't using the '''en-US'' localization of Firefox, did you install the correct dictionary for your locale?

When I try to write e-mail and open write page "send" button is missing .

This PC in which I have sending probleme are located in my summer cottage in country sid . Net speed is ca 5 Mbs. E-mail addressee are the same than in home PC in the city - could it be the reason ?

In the Write window:
View (Alt-V) - Toolbars
Check 'Composition Toolbar'.
