You are welcome.
And thanks for posting back to tell us that the problem is fixed.
DMA stands for Direct Memory Access, and it allows drives(HD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, etc.) to write to and read from the memory without having to go thru the CPU.
This in turn frees up the CPU to do other tasks, and helps the system to run faster and more efficiently.
Some programs do not like DMA, and it has to be disabled for them to be properly installed.
It's possible that it may have been enabled after the affected programs were initially installed.
