Any problems in using Ghost 2003 with DVD+RWs?

packman
Just want to check with you all as to whether there are any known problems in using Ghost 2003 with DVD media. Know of any? I vaguely recall someone on this Forum discussing backup to DVD, using Ghost, some while back, and I believe they were having some problems.

ntvdm.exe using 99% of CPU, how do I correct this?

bluehaze43
I have a new machine, and all of the newest updates and drivers for it. When I fire up our DOS-based accounting program (which obviously uses the ntvdm) my CPU usage goes to 99-100%. This does not lock-up the computer, but does take a state-of-the-art machine and turn it into a 286 piece of junk.

The Dell TaskManager :(

JustSam
Hi, I have a Dell and it seems they've tweaked the TaskManager to remove the border and any tabs it normally has. I have no x at the top of the screen when I open it so the only way it can be closed is to right click on the tray icon and select close.

Ok. Here's the scoop. Any and all. mp3 files on my system will crash explorer. exe whenever I right click on them, or highlight and delete them. Or highlight then go to Edit and use an action. I have scoured the internet and found nothing that works.
