[Eraser software problem?]

I have used only version 5.7. I have wiped unused space with it a couple times and haven't noticed any problems after doing so.

[Case fan]

I wonder why my rear case fan won't start up always, when i power on the computer? It usually starts to spin, but not always. It has been so, since i bought it. It starts to spin, if i help it a little. Front fan is exactly the same model and it works fine.

[Opera 9.25]

I actually just gave Opera a bit of a test and was pretty impressed with the speed of browsing and page rendering, was certainly a bit faster than Firefox.

Just wait for Opera 9.50 (Final)...

[SpywareBlaster 4.0]

That new GUI is pretty nice. Glad that otherwise it's the same.

 

Edit: Database loads much faster, when you open SB.

[Nasa pictures]

I like Mars bars, but Snickers is better.

Is this the way how Italians see us Finns?

[SpywareGuard question]

In my opinion, real-time spyware "guards" are somewhat unnecessary. I think real-time AV and SpywareBlaster is enough.

[Is your computer working just fine?]

my RAM is a lowly 256mb. ...probably 1/1.2gb RAM.

That's way too low, if you got XP (or Vista). 1Gb is just fine.

[Opera 9.25]

Opera 9.26 released. This is also a recommened security update.

 

Release Notes

 

This release is a recommended security and stability upgrade. See the Security section for additional information.

 

Changes Since Opera 9.25

 

Security

 

Fixed an issue where simulated text inputs could trick users into uploading arbitrary files, as reported by Mozilla. See our advisory.

Image properties can no longer be used to execute scripts, as reported by Max Leonov. See our advisory.

Fixed an issue where the representation of DOM attribute values could allow cross site scripting, as reported by Arnaud.lb. See our advisory.

 

Miscellaneous

 

Fixed a stability issue found in Opera 9.0 to 9.25, when Opera connects securely to Windows Server 2008 or other servers supporting the TLS Certificate Status extension.

Additional stability fixes.

[Signs of Life]

Not funny.

[OK, how many Valentine cards did you get?]

No need to lie; none. Expect one from my union, which i think they send to every member.

[Spyware Blaster Update 28.01.08]

There's a new update for SB. 130 new items.

[Is your computer working just fine?]

Mine is working pretty fine. What problems you got with your computer?

[Registry fix]

When ever you uninstall (or install) programs.

[How do I merge back to registry?]

The simplest way is just to double-click on your reg file and select Yes when asked it you want to add yourfile.reg to the registry.

Reg file can open with Notepad by default. Mine is that way, but i got "Regedit" in 'Open With' menu.

[How do I merge back to registry?]

Check if there's "Regedit" in "Open With" menu?

[Registry and Issues]

I would just remove them.

[Registry Issues]

(I did downloaded the MS Critical Update for net.Framework on Feb. 3)

That can create some invalid entries. There also can be entries of unused file extensions, if you have double clicked a file with extension, that has not registered to open with any application. An invalid entry will also occur, if you delete some single file, that have made an entry to MUIcache.
