Question: Pioneer A05 / Software / Backup Medias

[kurgan813]

Thanks for the reply...

Does anyone know how the Pioneer A05 is with copying protected PC Game? I would love an all-in-one solution... Having 3 CD/DVD drives on my machine would not be as desirable as two...

As far as the video card, I have a Leadtek A170TH 64MB Nvidia card. WinXP reports crashes as being driver problem related when games crash ... I know this is probably a BS statement from MS to cover their ass but I have updated the drivers from NVIDIA and LEADTEK (not to mention the MB chipset) and still crashes with games.

I would pay $100-400 to have a strong card that works within WinXP (example games I play: WC2, Diablo2, Age of Mythology - they all crash eventually). I get so little time to play games nowadays and would love uninterupted play once in a while. I hate going on battlenet because of the crashes I eventually get..

I am going to be dumping my AMD MB and processor for a P4 to eliminate this as being the problem. Note: I have P3 machines which run these games in WinXP that never crash. The only differences would be the MB,Processor, Video cards. I have tried 2 different video cards in my machine and both crash but I can not elimate them as the problem.

Note: I have reinstalled my machine from soup to nuts quite a few times trying to eliminate/isolate the problem and I have it down to MB, Processor or Video.

Thanks for listening and any help...
