| How To Repel Insects with Essential Oils Posted: 06 May 2010 07:40 PM PDT We all like to take some time out in the garden. Especially in Spring and Summer either playing, or cooking on the Bar-B-Q.

| How To Rescue a CD/DVD from Your Computer Drive Posted: 06 May 2010 07:37 PM PDT It happens more often than you would expect -- you put a disk into your computer's CD or DVD drive and then can't get it back out. If you can't eject a stuck disk using the usual methods, you may have to manually rescue the CD or DVD from your computer. But before you resort to manually ejecting a jammed disk, make sure there isn't a software reason for the problem. For example, some systems will refuse to eject a disk that is still in use. Try completely exiting all applications before dragging the disc's icon into the Trash or Recycle Bin. If that doesn't work, proceed with a manual eject. Step 1 -- Power down your computer completely and unplug it from the wall. This is a good idea any time you need to manually adjust your computer's hardware. Otherwise, either you or your computer could receive an electric shock. |
