[What Icons do you have on your desktop?]

Look at my icons and look at your icons, see the difference ? (I have that blue background @ the icons name - you dont)

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

 

I thought you meant you were making the icons see through like glass (transparent)

not just changing their font color.

[What Icons do you have on your desktop?]

TuPLad, how do you get transparent icons anyway?

Has anyone here downloaded from this site? is it malware free? And if so what did you download?

[What Icons do you have on your desktop?]

Also some of the pictures you all have posted have differant icons than the ones that come with the programs they are for. Where did you get those icons from?

[Bandwidth]

I went here to test out my bandwidth after I got my new router.

http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

 

It said that my connection was 3.8 megabits. I have a cable connection through Adelphia.

 

What is your connection? I was just curious how my connection compared to other cable or dsl connections.

[Router Questions]

I just bought a linksys 802.11G wireless router. I have set it up through the cd that came with it and my internet works but I cant find any install files on my pc. How do I change the settings on the router without reinstalling it? Also I am going to buy a PSP and I know that they have wifi access. Can it connect through my new router? I need to know because I live in a pretty rural area and there are no hotspots around. Last question, If I was to buy a second router can the two "talk to each other" without the second one needing to have a direct ethernet connection? I need to know this because I want to hook my Xbox and PS2 to the internet but I have no connection in my tv room and my office is downstars.

 

Here is the deal I got on my router which I think is pretty good.

I dont have microsoft office and have been using Star Office 8 (I got it for free during the beta trials). I love it, it makes powerpoint and excel documents with ease, plus they seem to be fully compatible with ms office. The only thing I didnt like was the word processor. I went to the above mentioned site and saw a link for abiword and it works perfectly. I do have ms works and this is deffinately a step above that pos.

[Spyware Blaster 3.4]

I'd be afraid of that, too.

I just know that both of them have active scanners(spyware guard on spyware blaster) and I figured it would be like running two antiviruses and cause lots of problems.

[Spyware Blaster 3.4]

Javacool also offers the Spyware Guard , free also. I installed this along with Spyware Blaster. It seemed to get rid of one little pesky popup (java) I have not been able to get rid of for quite awhile.....

Spyware Blaster

Spyware Guard

I wanted to try that but I was afraid to run that at the same time as microsoft antispyware beta.

[Hijack This Log]

I have a net md player. I have had it for about two years and have loved it except for the software.

[Hijack This Log]

I hate sonicstage. It's horrible. I have a Sony mp3 player too, but I don't use the atrac format. Everything is mp3.

What program do you use to transfer over your files?

[What Icons do you have on your desktop?]

I was wondering what Icons the people here have on their desktop.

I have:

 

Firefox

Thunderbird

Outlook

Microsoft Works

Sonic Record Now!

WMP

My computer

My Documents

Picasa 2

IE

Staroffice 8 (writer, impress, database, calc, draw)

 

 

I like my desktop clean and simple. Now my start menu programs list is another story .

[Hijack This Log]

Get yourself some Winamp.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

 

 

Already got it, I use it with the stream ripper add on. I havent tried it with my mp3 player yet but its worth a shot.

[Hijack This Log]

Uninstall Real Player and get Real Alternative if you use it.

 

Also, if you don't use iTunes or have an iPod, uninstall that too.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

 

I ditched I tunes because I never use it, but I use realplayer for my mp3 player. It is a sony and it has that stupid atrac format, and the included software is terrible.

[Hijack This Log]

Thank Tarun I deleated all of those junk files. Now my pc should be at optimum performance!

[Hijack This Log]

I had to use the restore partition on my PC. It pretty much brought my pc back to the day I first opened it. It has lots of junk programs and processes running. I have removed alot of it and reinstalled all of my malware protection programs. Tarun will you please analyze my Hijack This log? Thanks alot.

[Error while installing software.]

I finally fixed my error 1606. I just used my pc's restore partition. It didnt even deleate all of my files! I just have to reinstall all of my programs .

[Error while installing software.]

Is their a reason why I cant add atachments to my posts anymore? I try and nothing happens.

[Error while installing software.]

Also, Im thinking about just using my restore partition to fix this. I have a brand new Compaq PC and it has a restore partition on it. I was wondering if anyone has used this before and if it went smoothely or not, also about how long did it take?.
