  I using Presario AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3400+ .
  
  That time Starhub gave me free one when signed up 2-yr-contract for MAx-On-Line .
  
  Then my CD Rom spoilt , so i bought this DVD Super re-writer ...
  
  Cannot use leh !!
  
  Why huh ?
  
  They keep telling me this : " Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware .The driver may be corrupted or missing code 39 "
  
  So i went to LG website , download the firm-ware + driver software .....
  
  Still cannot leh !
  
  My suspicion : Could it be this AMD Athlon processor don't support this device ? Cos the box writes : Pentium IV or 1 GHz equilvalent .
  
  Can i have some answers please .
  
  Thanks !

  I'm not sure if your processor is affecting it, because it's a 64-bit processor. Most drivers are 32-bit.
  
  Technically, 32-bit programs will run... maybe not so for LG.

  ok ..... mine system is like that ...
  
  984Mhz ....224 MB ram ......
  
  The writer box got state :
  
  RAM : 256 MB or larger
  
  Mine RAM is 224 , too low to run the writer ???
  
  1.0 Ghz ..... mine 984Mhz , too low to run the writer ???

  It's only slightly lower, it shouldn't affect. And for an Athlon 64 processor, that's on the low side.

  Yup. I think you may be using integrated graphics card, because that's an odd number for a RAM. You can try upgrading and see what happens next.
  
  Athlon 64-bit processors aren't that slow because 64-bit processors are a fairly recent thing.
