    Ok, I just got my computer today and I have a few questions.

    First of all, I just wanted to know how to check and make sure I did get the internal parts I ordered, 7200 drive etc...is there a way I can do that on XP?

    Second of all...my DVD burner drive is kind of interesting. It read one music cd but not an older one. It read spy sweeper but won't open windows cleanup (I tried two different discs, mine and my mom's).

    Third, how do I make it full screen using the Dell Media Center when playing a DVD? There are no real option buttons.

    Thanks for the help.

    You may to update the firmware on your burner and/or ide drivers. If you right click on the Media Player screen there is usually an option to go full screen. Good Luck.

    To check that you have the devices that you ordered!

    start -> control panel -> system -> hardware -> device manager

    If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It!
