Also, the problem as in one case a DVD player was given to me (my brother in law assumed I'd fix it) the motor wouldn't keep up a consistent RPM. There's a tiny switch if you follow the DVD rotation motors circuits, and it just needed to be tweaked with a minute amount of force to make the proper mechanical engagement as the drawer slides back and contacts the switch.

I don't have VB6 installed, so I can't verify that - you could try and see if there's a way to change the user agent header on an <em>inet</em> control, or perhaps just use sockets and do the HTTP request yourself. I'm not sure other than that, sorry. :( My guess is because you’re using VB6, it might be sending a weird user agent that that website is interpreting as too old to understand XML (~MSIE6 maybe?), and so it’s trying to be clever and show you HTML instead.

DVD players are relatively trouble free. You can clean the machine, replace cords, and replace faulty motors, belts, and trays. More often, problems with DVD players are caused by faulty DVD discs, either damaged or dirty. Anyway, thanks for posting! Excellent work here. DVD players are relatively trouble free.

I read this article many times, but couldn’t figure out how to implement the steps you have mentioned above. Recently moved to HostGator and having issues keeping my site online as there are issues with timthumb.

Is it possible for you to fix this issue for me?

Thank you.
