 | [QUOTE=PC Agent;837527]A good free antivirus would be AVG.[/QUOTE] Oh HELL NO!! That one has more false positives than almost anything else I've encountered, and no way to temp disable via sys tray for those times you need to. First vote has to go to Symantec Endpoint Protection (is corporate tho) …  |

| | @asclinton & Labraat. Could we all PLEASE stop demonising MS for winding down support for XP? NO other OS edition/flavour has continued to receive patches and support for even half as long as either XP or even Win2k (I really do dare someone to find one SINGLE sample to contradict …  |

| | Once is sent, barring that 0.001% chance you have the same email client (such as Outlook), with similar settings, all you can really do is float an extra email to apologise for mishap and move on. At the end of the day, we're all human and we all goof up … |
 | Don't often do batch conversions my self, do know Divx Pro does allow batch conversion of multiple files w/o changing the resolution properties - but is not free. MediaCoder is another tool have used - can run batches with or without tweaking any of the resolution/audio properties. Is a little …  |
| | [QUOTE=beeerlover;873039]Not only illegit windows users want to disable, but many people like to only install the updates they chose as opposed to letting Bill dump in anything he wants.[/QUOTE] Actually is not all that hard to dupe MS into thinking that "obtained" copy of Windows is perfectly legit, so no …  |
| | As to a bare-bones DLL "cracker", have used [URL="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/File-Editors/Resource-Hacker.shtml"]this[/URL] tool in the past (in days of re-skinning XP). As to an all-in-one plain language dll decrypter?? Dream on!! To break down a DLL file, you need to have at least a basic understanding of the type of DLL file you …  |
| | Hmmm - was about to suggest [URL="http://www.xara.com/uk/"]Xara[/URL]. Their image editor is a combination of vector and raster, making it extremely powerful. Having builds specifically coded for Linux, you're not looking at porting issues. As to Gimp - thank GOD I'm not the only one to see what a piece of …  |
| | [QUOTE=Ancient Dragon;1040235]Many games that run on XP will not run on Win7. So if you are a big gammer and like the games you are playing, then stick with XP.[/QUOTE] That's just the nature of game-development cycles though - two-to-three yrs max usually. Games which were developed not long before … |
| | Now yes I'm sure there are jokes for "Wintards" etc, but thought these were funny. Not all Mac users are Mactards, so is in no way aimed at the common user :) Cleaned these up from [URL="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mactard"]original site[/URL], but you'll get the gist ;) 1) An Apple computer user who …  |

| | Been using Firefox since v0.7, but still have to use IE on the rarest of occasions  |
 | [QUOTE=baltazar;688579]Try: 1. Un-installing it. 2. Restart your system. 3. Cleaning out any remnants of the program from your registry using something like CCleaner. ([url]www.ccleaner.com[/url]) 4. Re-install.[/QUOTE] That is COMPLETELY unnecessary. Issues in Win7 [I]do not[/I] relate to Vista at all. In Vista, Acrobat 9 Pro tended to go logger-heads with … |

| | OK - am surprised Crunchie missed this one. If using Firefox 3.0+ (I did note your reluctance to use IE, so am assuming is not your browser of choice), the URL bar also has built-in search facilities. Now normally this gets handed over to Google, but it sounds like somewhere … |

Just check if you have accidentally turned off have also come across references to a need for updating HP's "Wireless Assistant"... which is kind of disturbing as it sounds like HP has disabled or patched the [I]native[/I] … |
