  1. Thanks hazelnut + Hmm for bringing this subject/topic to light;) I didn't Know about the dark theme and I'm liken it way better;)
  2. Hi hazelnut;) I hadn't heard of Vivaldi and after having a good look at their website I'm going to give it a try
  3. Hey guy's Been using Opera for years and was wondering if many members here are using it?
  4. Yes Dave That's the exact same notification window that I got And even though it's legit "glitch" ! notice there's no "X" in the top right corner ... you had to click one of the link's to get rid of it ! That alone rings alarm bells for me just saying
  5. Hi nukecad It did pop up after opening CCleaner and the time was about 6:30 PM here today in Australia 31/03/2023 Thanks for the reply
  6. Hey guy's It's been a while since I posted anything Ok so Windows 11... Today I got a notification about my CCleaner subscripion being out of date and a link suggesting that I should renew it My sub for CCleaner Pro is good and not due until 20/02/2024 The notification "window" had the CCleaner "banner or header" and looked legit Usually clicking away from a notification window makes it close however it wouldn't close or go away without clicking one of the links The 1st link was to renew my sub which I did not click ! But it did close after clicking the second line "remind me later" I've had a few other suspect notifications pretending to be from "McAfee" Has anyone had or heard of this ?
  7. So mta are you saying that my speed is OK ?
  8. Hi mta Is that a mobile speed test ?
  9. I wonder if anyones emailed this joke to samsung
  10. Hi guys Since I don't have a fixed Internet connection "no land line" I rely on a mobile broad band router> (Netgear Nighthawk M1) my ISP is Telstra they are the only ones that have this mobile router. This hot spot wifi device is rated as the fastest and most up to date device of it's type on the Australian market. So I'm wondering if any of you have and use mobile Internet connections "full time or part time" + what sort of speeds are you getting? Here's my test results. The Melbourne server is about 300km from my place.
  11. WOW! That reminds me of a old PC game called "Road Rash" for obvious reasons
  12. Yeah it's a bit of a merry go-round I don't update via "CCleaner" I just go here > http://www.piriform.com when CCleaner notifies me of an update. I'm not saying it's the best way... It's just my way;) EDIT Even better > http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds as Andavari & mta have said
  13. Yes I noticed that clicking the update link in CCleaner takes me to http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/update and from there if you click the no thanks button you end up here > http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?upgrade
  14. Hi TommyRay Try here > http://www.piriform.com
  15. Hi legendsofbatsman I have the same issue occasionally and in my case it's a program (itunes) that causes a huge memory dump when I close it. Windows pops a message up about Data Execution Prevention bla bla... If you right click "System Memory Dumps" in the Analysis list and view "Detailed Results" you can see what program has caused this. Not saying only itunes dose this... just an example' and maybe you have a different problem.
  16. And the dogs & pears lived happily ever after.................. But where's Wally or Waldo ?
  17. Hi Andervari The current driver for this card has been installed and running with no problems for age's As for the card starting to die ? well I got 6 years out of my old original ATI card before the fan on the card failed... apart from the fan' the card still worked... until the temp got to much for it Anyway thanks all for the suggestions I think I've got just got to bite the bullet and get a new machine... had this for 8 years... so bye bye Vista ! and hello Windows 10
  18. Hi mta I'm using Nvidia's Driver version 10.18.13.6519 and the Geforce gui states that the driver is up to date. The card is about 2 year's old and I'm running "High performance" power settings in Windows > No Sleep, No Hibernation, etc. Windows Device Manager reports that (This device is working properly)
  19. Hi guy's This has been happening a bit lately Basically I get a black screen for 1 or 2 seconds and then a pop-up message from windows saying that "The video card driver stopped working and has now recovered" I have the latest driver for this > NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 (MSI) card + I'm running at default settings... no over clocking bla bla bla on this very low grade card. I'm wondering If my power supply might be failing ? This card only draws 30 watt' however this black screen issue only happens when my PC is doing very little or at idle ? If I'm watching full screen HD video or playing a 3D resource hungry game it's ok Oh yeah I'm still using Vista Any ideas, help... Craig
  20. Hi missminerva With speccy I can see my neighbors wifi info as well' and can also see their network in the list of available networks to join via Windows "Network and Sharing Center"> if I had their password I assume that they can see my info too. Keep your network security enabled ! And make sure a password is needed to join your network !
  21. The link for "Windows Installer Cleanup" opens a page with 404 not found
