This thread seems to have prompted a discussion not only about the software Returnil but also about how users approach a new software. One of my pet hates is downloading a new piece of software only to find that the help file is suitable for someone who works on a space project or it assumes the the user already knows all about the software ( in this case virtualization) I agree with others here that users would probably be more willing to try a new type of software if they didn't feel they were having to make themselves look small by having to ask what might seem to be basic questions about it. What would be so hard about a software manufacturer giving basic examples of what happens when you do a certain thing with their software? As I stated in earlier, talking about mounting virtual drives and session modes to new users is pointless and offputting unless you EXPLAIN what those terms mean. I think that any user on this forum could ask ANY question, no matter how small, about a software and another member would try to help using good clear instuctions. Also no one should ever feel pressured into using a piece of software just because everyone else seems to be.

T M , it's a good job you live on a different continent making remarks like that!!

Couple more links for you to look at Francisco http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2...ng_to_me_1.html http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=714970

Slowday, you don't really need any software on your computer just because people say it's the latest thing to have. They are just trends. If you have a system up and running which works on your computer, you don't have to feel browbeaten into thinking that you HAVE to have it. Sure, have a look if you want, so if anyone asks what you think, you can tell them, but at the end of the day, it's YOUR computer. When you have a meal, people can suggest what you might like on your plate, but YOU decide what you want to eat

Same link as I posted a couple of posts above Firery, perhaps Harry will let us know.

Here is an updated list of Karens powertools. http://www.karenware.com/powertools/powertools.asp I actually use replicator to copy all my docs and settings onto an external as a backup, just plug in my external, open replicator and press, back up my docs and settings (or whatever you want) and it does it in seconds, copies over any changes and deletions since last backup you made. Extremely fast and very easy to use. One of those, press this button, and it happens apps. Would be good for anyone who has never tried backing up their pictures, musics and setup.exe's etc before in case of a disaster.

Found another post Harry http://forums.majorgeeks.com/archive/index.php/t-94884.html

Can you give a little more information please DragonFalse. What is your operating system? What files and folders are you trying to delete? What .dll files are you talking about? Do you have something you have downloaded onto your computer that you don't want anyone to see ? Are you able to run CCleaner? Welcome to the forum by the way

Sorry Harry, but for now I have no more suggestions. I actually have the Windows Image Aquisition set to disabled in services because of a problem I had with it. I still can aquire images from my camera (I use Picasa2) no problem. I am not suggesting that you do this, I am just telling you what I have done.

Make sure when you save a screenshot that you save it as a jpeg or png file. Bitmap files are usually way too large.

That must have been a bit of a blow. Do you have any idea of what may have happened? Nice to see you up and running again

Have a look here http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=5739 Also I am assuming you chose save, when downloading, and not run. You could also try another install, here is a good place to download it from. http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds.aspx Wecome to the forum

I am also giving Returnil a spin. Liked the fact that I could read the help file just before I pressed the install button! One thing I think would make it slightly more user friendly to people who are giving this kind of app a try for the very first time is more info about the virtual side. It assumes that people will know how to save things there, some people won't, it would be great if it gave an couple of examples of say what to do to save an email if you have system protection turned on, and how to save a downloaded program there, it sort of misses those instuctions out and assumes knowledge on the part of the user. It is quite amazing that this is free really. I shall keep it as it runs okay with sandboxie and I shall probably use it with system protection off and just turn session protection on when I want to look at something and also this allows me to keep any avg or avira updates without having to save them somewhere else .

Has any one used this software? It is free and sounds like it could be useful http://www.camstudio.org/

Don't forget Avira Jago ! Nice work Andavari

If you use NOD32 and MJ-12, this may be your answer http://www.wilderssecurity.com/archive/ind...p/t-113974.html

From Returnil FAQ's http://www.returnilvirtualsystem.com/index_files/faqs.htm > What does the RVSMOVER utility do? WARNING: the following information is not recommended for inexperienced users! If you do not completely understand the potential consequences involved with moving system folders, DO NOT DO THIS! NOTE: This utility is currently designed for those who want to make the move permanent as part of their use of RVS System Protection As part of our development process, we create a number of concept and testing programs that are designed to explore solutions internally without making changes to the main program. In this specific case, we created a utility that would allow the user to move some System Folders to an alternate partition including the Virtual Partition called RVSMOVER and is included in the Returnil Business Edition installation. The utility is located in the (default) "C:\Program Files\Returnil" directory. This utility will allow an option for experienced users who want to move their Desktop, IE Favorites, and IE Cookie system folders to an alternate drive. We strongly caution the user that this is not a trivial thing to just experiment with, again, if in doubt, stay clear... We also recommend that if you are an experienced user who is familiar with this type of configuration that you should choose an alternate partition on your existing HDD to minimize any potential issues you might experience. When moving system folders it is essential that the target directory/partition be one that will boot with Windows!

Does it say anything in the event viewer at the time that you try to run it? Just in case you aren't familiar with where it is, go to start>control panel>admin tools>event viewer and look under system, if there is an error double click on it and it will give some info. Sorry if you already know this

I can see the benifits of this for business users perhaps but for stand alone PC's? Santa Clara-based Intel envisions consumers one day signing up for a service that allows their Internet service providers to automatically install security upgrades and patches, whether the PC is turned on or not. Once they return to their computers, users would then get an alert with a detailed record of the fixes. Intel is hoping consumers will decide that the convenience of having a round-the-clock watchdog outweighs the obvious privacy concerns. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?.../n122612D04.DTL

No problem. As you seem quite interested in the workings, here is a link to CCleaner guide in case you haven't seen it. http://www.internetrotsyourbrain.com/ccleanerbeginnersguide/

Open CCleaner>options>advanced and choose save settings to ini file. Welcome to the forum by the way

Glad you were able to get your problem fixed. As for being helpful, that's what I like about this forum, we all try to help each other out

Did you see this on Javacool site? http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=5169 Did you see a message such as the one shown on this page when you registered it? (Note there is a space after regsvr32 and the rest of the text. Also just use the download for the exact file not the library) http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/suppo...me=MSCOMCTL.OCX

Do you get the same error message? Did you rename the installer? Did you try the VB runtime download? Perhaps you could try again by uninstalling CCleaner and downloading the basic build (without yahoo toolbar) from here. http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds.aspx Make sure you choose save and not run when you download it to your desktop. Let us know how you get on.

No, it's not bad Have a read here http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=5739 if you need any more help just ask.
