what makes it worse is our printer is hooked up to my PC and that means I cant Print out the instructions to fix it!  now might be a good time to buy a Wireless USB bridge for the printer....... I think Best buy has a couple.....

me and a buddy found the problem.  either my DVD player or my CDR/RW was causing it  he is going to "tune it up" and see if there are any other problems I might get a descent (newer) CDR/RW out of it (the one I have is from 1999 out of my old gateway).
