You need to start over. And are you sure you bought a CD-RW and not just a CD-R? Also, you can only re-write a CD so many times before it becomes corrupt. The files you originally wrote to CD are protected and probably "read only", also check what preferences you have checked on the Nikon and ScanDisk card (for what it's worth, I have two Nikon D80 and a couple ScanDisk cards-not to mention at least 4 other digital cameras and enough SD/flash cards to flll a landfill-dating back close to 10 years). Your only choice is to download them to your desktop (or someplace easily remembered for a minute) and rewrite the CD without any read/write restrictions, which can be found in properties. Also, are you deleting the files on your camera and SD card when you download to CD or your computer? If not, you have probably run out of space. Another thing, that Nikon "Picture Project" software, if you are using that, is a pain and not worth installing. It could be contributing to your problems. What program "thinks" it's your default photo editing program? That could also be causing problems. You say you are using Olympus software but a Nikon camera, did you load the Nikon software too? All these camera manufacturers have their own proprietary software (and websites), you don't need it or want it. It's better to go out and buy a copy of photoshop than have a bunch of proprietary photo editing programs on your computer, unless you know how to over-ride them, including Windows Picture and Fax program.

This will happen if you cut onions or garlic on a wooden board. I keep a dishwasher safe plastic board for stinky stuff. You can redeem your board, you may have to try a couple of things before you have success, try them in order: 1)Sprinkle board with kosher salt. Cut a lemon in half, use the cut side of the lemon to scrub the salt into the board. Scrub well, then rinse and towel dry then let air dry thoroughly. Sniff and move on to step two if necessary. 2) Make a thick paste of baking soda and water. Scrub it in with a green scrubby. Same rinse and dry and sniff test. 3) Sand off 1/16". Some people would recommend a bleach solution before resorting to sanding, but I would rather just sand, then have bleach impregnate the pores of the wood that I will then cut on. Whichever one works, once you get rid of the smell, give the board a nice coating of oil to rejuvenate it after the harsh treatment. Good luck.

Okay, so after Diffing the heck out of it, I scraped pretty much all of the paste off. The trick was to spray the Diff, let it sit, then spray some more, let that sit . . . and repeat that process, letting the Dif sit for at least 45 minutes, going in small increments. It took a full week of evenings after work. I bought a shellac-based sealant/primer and painted that over everything. I then filled in obvious gaping wounds with drywall filler, let that dry, painted on a heavy duty primer and then painted. Of course, it's only been three weeks, but the paint job looks marvelous and I think it's going to be okay. Thanks for the advice. Here is a link that might be useful: Photos, including before and after (messy, sorry)

I had no idea how lucky I was to have it glued to concrete. I guess this means a trip to the hardware store to find a bigger pry bar--maybe mine is just too undersized. Well, while I'm doing jumping jacks on the pry bar, I'll say "at least I'm not replacing the whole sub floor". It's just another adventure in home destruction/improvement. Thanks for reminding me it could all be much worse. It just needs bigger tools! Of course, I am missing out on the chance to do some more destruction with the sawzall.
