More info
The following are the specs on the Dell Inspiron 5100:
Running Windows XP home, service pack 1, Pentium 4 CPU 2.66GHz, 512 MB of RAM. Display adapter is the Mobility Radeon 7500C with 64MB or Ram, Using 60GB hard drive (don't know the speed but it plays the songs perfectly). I did the MS scan for updates and only found a security update that was required so I believe I have the latest software. I am using the MTU USB CD drive.
I will use a mouse and disable the touch pad. This may solve the scrolling problem. I still don't think this is the cause of the shut down problem. I hope that in the next version of hoster there would be a way to eliminate the extra window in the play list. It is redundant and anoying when it shows up as a big blank when importing song (although I know I can rescale the window). Does anybody have an answer on resetting the timer? I think the timer is a good feature but I need the reset capability. The change of compression ratio problem happened without me closing and reopening the program. I was using 96K compression, recorded a number of CD and then I noticed that the disk space on the last one I recorded was larger that previous songs. The 96K button was still pressed but it was compressing at about 128K or 160K ratio. Closing the program and reopening it solved the problem. I believe there is a gremlin somewhere in the code.
I have another questions. What does the backup database button do? I would think it should be able to do a complete backup of eveything that was recorded (text and music) but I don't see any setup info to specify a directry for a backup folder.
FYI: QC stands for Quality Control. I in in the broadcast industry and we QC tapes after we record them before broadcast.
PS: I appreciate everybodies help. I do tech support on software for my company so I do know a bit about computers although any help is greatly appreciated. There are always the Got-ya's out there.
