    IcoFX 1.6 released

    in Software

    Posted

    I don't know if you need to do a clean install or not, however I did a clean install. Also by default v1.6 installs into:

    C:\Program Files\IcoFX 1.6

    Is a clean install the best way to go?

    Not just with this program, but others as well?

    Hi Andavari ;)

    I currently have version 1.5 installed, would it be wise to uninstall 1.5 and do a clean install of 1.6? or will the newer version just install over 1.5?

    Test Your Password's Strength

    in Windows Security

    Posted

    The Password Meter web utility tests the strength of your passwords as you type it, scoring your password strength based on a number of positive and negative password attributes. The test measures your password's number of characters, type of characters used, and the order of your characters. (Sequential letters or numbers, for example, equals weak passwords). Toss your favorite high-security password into this tool?you may be surprised at how you did.

    Password Meter site offers a download package.

    Would it be safer to download and check my "real" password with Password Meter while offline?

    I use Sandboxie and luv it ;)

    It's not only great to sandbox your browser, you can also launch "multi-player" games sandboxed before connecting to an INTERNET game server.

    You need to configure your game controls & options etc before launching a game sandboxed, or the settings wont "stick".

    After disconnecting and quiting the game, the original game settings will still be in place.

    Illinois-Shaped Cornflake Sold On Ebay For Almost ?700

    I like my Cornflakes, but I'm not paying that much! :lol:

    "Illinois-Shaped Cornflake" :lol:

    Obviously some people have way to much "time" on their hands to come up with that sort of rubbish!

    They probably have "nothing to do, and all day to do it"

    And as for the people prepared to pay that much for 1 Cornflake...are you crazy?...that Cornflake looks like any other Cornflake! :lol:

    OK I'm ready for the next step ;)

    "RocketDock" is always on my desktop ;) , see my post above ↑

    All I need now is a "Docklet"? to display things like CPU-Temp, HDD-Temp, RAM-Usage...etc.

    I've been trying to find out how to do this :blink: I'm even more confused.

    I have "SpeedFan" that can supply readings (Info) to the Docklet right?, am I on the right track?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    That has worked for me in the past with Ad-Aware because it would repeatedly ask for the disc to be inserted. The only way I ever tried to get around that annoyance was to just restart Windows.

     

    I don't know if it has something to do with RAM or the registry however the reboot is getting rid of something that Windows is holding onto during a session. I never looked any further into the problem and in reality wouldn't have really been able to do anything about it. A reboot in my case was always able to fix it, and strangely I've only encountered that particular problem in WinXP and I even have Auto Play for CDs/DVDs turned off.

    Hi Andarvari ;)

    As I said in my first post, I just put the first disk that came to hand "Age of Empires III" into "Drive (D:)".

    I hadn't used that disk "Age of Empires III" in weeks? so I'm thinking that Windows wouldn't be holding onto any scraps of info about that particular disk?

    I guess I could have put any disk in "Drive (D:)" and had the same result, "SUPERAntiSpyware" didn't ask for any specific disk.

    Thanks for the info Andarvari :) , a reboot seems to solve the problem.

    Is it possible that you inadvertantly had checked drive D in the scan options. This has happened to me in the past.

    Hi MikeW ;)

    I was thinking along those lines, and I made sure that only Drive (C:) was checked.

    Andavari mentions rebooting, and after a reboot everything seems to be normal again.

    Sometimes after a disc has been in the CD/DVD drive Windows somehow remembers it, and when running scanning programs like Ad-Aware and evidently now SUPERAntiSpyware afterwards they may or will request them by giving a message like "No Disc in drive D:". I haven't had SAS do that yet.

     

    "I think it's just a Windows related bug, or perhaps something in the registry" as it's happened to me before on countless occasions back when I still used Ad-Aware, however I could be wrong about it being a bug. Typically rebooting gets rid of it.

    Hi Andavari ;)

    So refreshing the System "RAM" by rebooting "Windows" could have helped SUPERAntiSpyware scan without any problems?

    Hi guy's.

    Today I started a manual scan of Local Disk (C:) with "SUPERAntiSpyware" and not long after it started it paused, and a message said to insert a "disk" into Drive (D:)

    It wouldn't continue without a disk in Drive (D:)

    It didn't say what "disk" it wanted? so I just put in the first disk that came to hand "Age of Empires III" and the scan continued?

    The scan finished, and no problems were found.

    Has anyone had this happen?

    For me this is the first time "SUPERAntiSpyware" has done this.

     

    Edit:

    I just finished running another scan, and "SUPERAntiSpyware" ran normally.

    It didn't find any threats.

    It didn't ask for a "disk" to be inserted into Drive (D:) this time? :huh:

    Free YouTube Download

    Hi all ;) , I recently downloaded this program: "Free YouTube Downdload" from DVDVideoSoft

    I'm having good results using it, and I was wondering if many others out there use it?

    I initially found a link to this program at AndyManchesta's site, so there's a good chance that it's already been mentioned in the Software Forum here at Piriform.
