 The Hottest Program On The Planet!

We have it! We have DVD X Copy!

What does it do?

DVD X Copy lets you make perfect copies of your DVD movies using a standard DVD RW drive (yes, you need to have a DVD burner for this to work, but this may be enough reason to run out and buy one :-).

Think about this - the average new release DVD goes for about $20.00. Now, if you take that movie on a trip, loan it to your friends, your dog gets a hold of it (happened to me), or you accidentally scratch it, you're out $20.00. If you buy DVDs for your kids, it's even worse - they get fingerprinted, licked, peanut buttered, forced into the VCR (trust me), spilled on, you name it.

However, with DVD X Copy, you can make perfect backup copies of your original movies and use those instead of the originals. Since DVDs are a digital format, every copy is an perfect match for the original.

The copy is 100% exact and includes not only the original movie, but all the "bonus" materials, menus, and hi-fi audio. It looks and sounds just like your original movie - only you’re not out $20.00 when you let a friend borrow it and it gets lost, err, misplaced (but it'll turn up - yeah right).

It's incredibly easy to use and allows you to copy a movie in as little as a single click! Copy time is fast too - about an hour for the average movie. You can also choose to leave out the "extra" bonus materials and set your DVD to skip the menu and go straight to the movie when you put it in your player.

I've seen write ups in both PC Mag and PC World and both said the software was easy to use and made perfect copies of the original movie. They highly recommended it and so do I.

We are selling it for the lowest price allowed - $79.99 with FREE US Shipping. It retails for $99.99, so it's a super deal. We've already seen a price increase on these, so be sure to grab yours before they go up again! This is the most popular thing going right now - don't miss out:

PS - Considering how expensive DVDs are, isn't it worth the price? If this saves just 4 movies over the life of the product, it's paid for itself! Don't lose hundreds of dollars in DVDs over time - back them up and use the copies!

Q:
I just upgraded from Windows 98 to 2000, and at work I have XP. I can't figure out how to get to the MS-DOS prompt. Where did it go?

A:
Older versions of Windows had the MS-DOS prompt conveniently located in the programs file. For some reason, Windows 2000 and XP buried it in Accessories and renamed it "Command Prompt".

To get a DOS prompt in Windows 2000 or XP, you can go the long way... Start, Programs, Accessories, and select "Command Prompt", or you can simply go to Start, Run, type in "CMD" and click OK.

There you have it, your long lost friend waiting for your command.

Tip of the Day

Fixing Uninstall Errors

Have you ever gone to uninstall a program, only to get some kind of nasty error message? It was probably something to the effect that the uninstall part of the program was hopelessly messed up and good luck trying to remove it from your system.

Don't think you're ever going to have this problem? HA! And I bet you think Windows will never lock up on ya either.

You see, there are only two kinds of people when it comes to uninstall corruptions - those that have been faced with the problem and those who are gonna be.

OK, enough talk. What do you do if you run into this problem? Calling Microsoft certainly won't get you anywhere, nor will crying (well, its never worked for me).

The simplest solution is usually to reinstall the software you're trying to uninstall.

No that wasn't a typo and I haven't gone off the digital deep end.

When you reinstall the software, you usually reinstall the uninstall part of it too - with one that works.

Ahh, now you see grasshopper.
