  1. The downloaded installations shows 65MB to be cleaned but I just want to know what it is before cleaning it :)

     

    Depending upon what you have installed removing files from that folder can actually break an application such as Windows Live Safety Center which is what it broke on my system and was a bitch to get working again. I reported it months ago to the Admin when the official winapp2.ini thread wasn't being updated, and was ignored.

     

    Edit: Updated first sentence didn't make sense.

  2. Try the re-install again, it "may" have been a hiccup during the installation. Or you've got hardware installed/plugged into the back of the PC causing problems.

  3. For what its worth, I've been using AVG Free for 3 years and have been using CCleaner for about two years, and have always had CCleaners AVG box ticked. Its never caused a problem with my AVG.

     

    I have AVG Free v7 installed as a secondary antivirus, and CC hasn't messed it up or anything. If CC was causing problems there would have already been a serious horde of complaints about it, but there hasn't been. So like you I've always had the box checked when it was an unofficial winapp2.ini add-on and now that it's an official add-on which is installed with CC by default.

  4. Ok Thanks, Krit86lr for the downloads & everyone else for the advice. I,m just waiting to here back from her now to see whats Up. Thanks. Cowboy

     

    It would probably be better to just send her here to the CC forums to get step by step help.

  5. I usually edit my pictures at home and then take them to be developed. It just seems like their prints always just look better no matter what.

     

    No home printer is going to beat professional printers like those of Kodak processing centers or even a Walgreens photo center. When the ink is a toxic health issue and when you see photo technicians wearing gloves and a mask to protect their lungs when re-filling the ink in such places you know it's some strong stuff and isn't nothing like ink in consumer inkjet printers.

     

    The photo paper for consumers in my opinion is crap and a waste of money. It can rapidly fade in only a few months with no light on it at all, and have ink shed off it.

     

    In the long run it's actually cheaper to get the pictures done professionally when one considers the cost of some photo paper plus the huge amount of ink it takes to print them - the ink usage now that's the real price shock there and is why I don't print on any photo paper.

  6. btw, the US guns n' roses tour starts in a couple of hours in vegas. wish i had the money to come over and see them again. the new band just rock!

    anyway, cheers guys:D

     

    Can't wait for 'em to release a new shiny thing called an audio CD which is hopefully not copy-protected/damaged, I haven't heard any professional quality GN'R in over a decade and it's long overdue.

  7. I don't think I like to open .doc files from strangers. My mommy said it was bad!

     

    LOL! Although it's for a valid help request and if you have up-to-date installed antivirus and antispyware the possibility of getting something is remote.

  8. Right now seamonkey looks like this:

    Looking like the default Firefox theme I could put up with.

     

    Oh yeah that new aerosmith song rocks B):P

     

    Yeah, but it would have been better at a higher bitrate or if they would've encoded it with WMA9Pro which is in WMP 11 Beta at at least 64kbps, the 20 or 24 kbps they're streaming has way too many artifacts for my taste.

  9. LOL I didn't even try opera. I used it for a little while when FF 2 beta started its crash fest on me and I couldn't stand it. :D

     

    The only reason I re-installed Opera was because it can browse with images turned off or cached (I have them cached), with Firefox it's either all or nothing. It's all because of this damned dial-up! :angry:

     

    SeaMonkey is o.k., if someone is perhaps on Win9x/Me/2000 without a user profile system like WinXP has. It however to me seems dated compared to Firefox even if it's still being rapidly developed, perhaps it's just the theme it's using that makes me think of it as dated.

     

    The only reason I used Netscape Suite, and then migrated to Mozilla Suite when Netscape required having to sign up with a Netscape email account to use it was because of Composer. I literally used the Suites for like 6 or maybe more years just because of Composer, but luckily you mentioned Nvu (the continuation of Mozilla Composer) in another thread and I basically have Composer again without a bloated tag along browser/email client with it.

  10. It's sort of weird but not entirely.

    If you're using a Media Player while online or starting them while online, i.e.; Apple iTunes, Windows Media Player, and any other with a built-in browser window to view songs or content online that can add stuff into IE's Temp Internet Files. Also the strange way some sites are coded you'll get cookied even if using a third-party browser like Opera or Firefox.

  11. Subliminal adverts are nothing new and were used for years here in the U.S.A. to unknowingly innocent people whilst going to watch a movie, however I believe it's been outlawed for a long time now.

     

    Hearing things like this and other underhanded stuff advertisers are guilty of is just another reason to eternally never trust and despise them as millions of people do rather on the Internet, T.V., in flyers/magazines, and of course those damned phone solicitations - those on the phone are the type of adverts that would get under my skin in a hurry.

  12. eTrust Internet Security Suite, McAfee, and Symantec/Norton are the only popular ones I can think at this moment that try to combine all into one, e.g.; anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall. Well maybe Grisoft AVG Plus with Firewall does too but their Ewido Anti-Spyware is a completely separate application.

     

    Although I'm not really a big fan of these types of suite's because I may only like one or two parts of it and end up wasting money on the other portions. I still prefer to choose my security-related apps like I do stereo equipement and that is individually so that I can get exactly what I want.

  13. The free space showing on my HDD drive doesn't seem to be accurate.

     

    Since you suspect that run ChkDsk on the disk. It's up to you to determine which ChkDsk option to use for instance (assuming you're using WinXP):

    To do a quick scan that fixes file errors run: chkdsk /f C:

    To do a thorough scan (takes a long time) run: chkdsk /r C:

     

    Replace C: with the driver letter you wish to scan for errors.
