issues!)

I don't think so. I can't figure out how to record them as Roxio doesn't
recognize any source for capture or input. Even when I recorded the sample
audio with sound recorder, if I went to save it - it said "not enough
memory" (I have 3GB).

No way am I prepared to do that. At the rate MS was putting out updates, it
would probably be near 50 or more.

It seems like it should. Did you check out the link above in Paul's post?
Anyway, thanks Paul & Bill. I'm going to put this away for now. I've spent
far too much time here and not accomplished anything else.
My sewing machine and dirty house and neglected husband (actually - he
should be listed first <g>) are calling loudly for attention.
When I get life out of the way again for a while, I'll call ASUS or try the
actions outlined in Paul's link.
Thanks again for all your help guys.
