She manhandled him.

I also use Faststone Capture

What are some of the best malware removal programs out there right now? Also, which ones cause more problems than they fix? a-squared Free is one of the good ones, right?

Boot into a live cd linux distro, one that has at least NTFS read support by default. Or use PE Builder to make a useful ntfs-ready xp cd.

Dumped Sygate, using windows firewall and NAT again.

Core Impact.(if I was rich of course)

All SUPER is is a frontend to things like mencoder, mplayer etc. The interface itself may look cheap but it uses good backends.

boot into safe mode with F8. If you have a windows cd you can replace that file if it is windows related or just reinstall windows. If that doesn't work take the battery out of your bios and wait a few minutes. Put it back and see if it works now.(if it's bios related)

Reinstall all network-related device drivers, reboot and try again.

Up to date MPlayer for windows package including mplayer codecs, MPUI and SMPlayer. http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=projects Avidemux looks nice too. Secunia - See site

I always use hotspot shield at open hotspots. Free vpn through their servers in case you can't set your own up.

Custom firmware FTW! but do it right, no one likes a brick.

It says they're fake on the actual page and the seperate titles for the screenshots.

Currently only running soft firewall. Sygate 56.3408 debug. Very happy with it.

I just use Stickies. It pops reminders out at specified times/dates and can make noises http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/

http://anchorfree.com/ Free encrypted VPN through their servers, extremely easy to use. It protects your traffic while it goes through your local network, a must have when you're using a open hotspot somewhere.

The 192.168.x.x number is assigned to each computer attached to your router. Did you change the mac on the pc's card or the one on the router? Changing the one on the pc will only cause the router to assign a new internal ip, instead of comcast assigning your router a new one.

run the setup file for messenger and choose repair. That will replace any missing files. Or go to Add/Remove programs, select messenger, click Change and then select repair.

I think I'll tri-boot with Vista ultimate, just so I can play the chess game again. I loved that and the speech recognition.

Also, you could change the MAC address of your router. This would usually renew it in 99% of the cases.
