    IE7

    in Software

    Posted

    Hi guys B)

     

    Today IE7 has started loading "Internet Explorer: Get It Now" page at startup instead of my normal home page.

    If I check to see what my home page is in "Internet Options" my normal home page is the only one listed.

    SpyBot S&D has a list of start and search pages IE7 uses, however the one mentioned above is not in the list.

    Any one know what to do? :blink:

    The Bathurst 1000 is probably one of the most significant motorsport events ever.

     

    A lot of years ago, and I mean a lot, UK TV covered it for the first time, and their eyes were opened as to what motor sport coverage could, and should be.

     

    That was the first time I had ever seen a race from the drivers viewpoint. Cameras inside the cars. And I'm fairly sure that was the first time a lot of people had experienced that gob smacking camera work.

     

    I've never forgotten that first Bathurst I saw a long time ago, and the coverage was unbelievable, but sadly, I haven't seen it for a long time.

     

    One of the best racing spectacles on the planet.

     

    Hi Dennis B)

    It is the "ultimate" motor sport event in Australia each year.

    I haven't been to see the race, however I have driven around the Mt Panorama circuit.

    The Mt Panorama race circuit is a public road, and steeper and narrower than it looks on TV.

    USB Removable Drives

    If you mean a USB connected hard drive, I've repeated defragged 5 such (4 different brands) with no problem and it does speed them up.

     

    If you mean a USB flash drive, there's no point. The files are distributed over the chip to even out wear. Access speed is limited by this feature not the physical distribution.

     

    Hi Glenn B)

    Yes I do mean a USB flash drive, thanks for the info :)

    I use an APC Back-UPS ES500. Inexpensive (often on sale), about 15 minutes on battery for a single workstation, auto-shutdown software included.

     

    Hi Glenn B)

     

    (APC) is that the brand name?

    I've been thinking about getting a (Belkin) brand UPS, one of the most advertised brands here in Australia.

    Hi guys B)

     

    I shutdown, and turn off power to the PC at the wall after I'm finished each day.

    I use a serge protection power board, however I live in a "thunderstorm prone area" so if storms are forecast even the phone line gets unplugged for the sake of the modem.

    No amount of protection will save a PC from a close "indirect or direct lightning strike" to outside power lines.

    I'm thinking of getting a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) so I can shutdown my PC if the power goes off.

    Dose any one have any recommendations?

    Hi guys B)

    I was just checking "CCleaner Updates" and noticed this pop up ad for a free laptop <_<

    Has anyone clicked on it?

    Is it safe? even though it's appearing on a "trusted website"?
