  1. Have you encountered the annoying bug in it that I did, info about the bug is here.
  2. Happy 16th Birthday! Today is your day! I must need new glasses, I could have sworn that read "don't get anymore pregnant" - nevermind.
  3. This may shed some light on what version you have Edit: You also have to begin the diagnostics, e.g.; click the next button to go to the Direct X Files (tab) to see actual installed versions. If you're being shown what you believe are the wrong versions restart Windows after the installation.
  4. What browser are you using? I don't see it happening at the moment using Opera. I don't know if I got the same thing as you or not trying Firefox, it immediately went to an error page like this:
  5. Correct! MS has done that "choose where to extract" stuff in the past and I always end up unpacking their SFX archive and deleting it in favour of my own.
  6. Where's outside, holy s**t the house has an outside I'll have to tell everyone! Emm smell that clean HEPA purified indoor air, until the dog farts.
  7. I personally would avoid it's registry cleaning portion. I skimmed through it to see what it was listing and noticed allot of valid entries marked for removal, needless to say I wasn't going to check some 600 plus displayed entries for verification especially after many of them were incorrectly listed. Seeing that their registry cleaner looked a bit on the dangerous side I completely removed MS Windows Live Safety Center from my system because I didn't one day want to use it for the virus scanning portion and in not paying attention allow it's registry cleaner to wreak havoc upon my system.
  8. The point of me re-packing them is to automatically run the setup file DXSETUP.exe, and then have the SFX module automatically remove the temporarily unpacked setup files once DXSETUP.exe finishes. It all equals no cleanup afterwords, MS used to do it that way too for installing DX.
  9. Microsoft Update/Windows Update doesn't even list those builds, so perhaps they're not a final build. Nonetheless I use them anyway.
  10. That's why after I download DX I always unpack it, and then re-pack it using an SFX module, either ZIP or RAR.
  11. While you're waiting for CCleaner to get all those abilities there's Eraser (freeware, no adware, no spyware). You can even drag and drop files to be overwritten multiple times onto Spybot-S&D by clicking Tools->Secure Shredder.
  12. Now if they could loosen up a bit more and allow for playback of Ogg Vorbis (.ogg), MusePack (.mpc), WavPack (.wv), etc., on the iPOD.
  13. If that's the case change the Digital Rights Management moniker to Dirty Rotten Machine. I don't know why they'd do such a thing and hopefully it's just a rumour like a belated April fools joke since I fall asleep all the time playing a game, and being that it's my main form of electronics entertainment, e.g.; Gaming > Music > PC. I'd get upset real quick if it just automatically powered down. Yeah PC is dead last in my electronics entertainment lineup in the endless pursuit to stave off boredom.
  14. Here's how to create a Windows Defender desktop shortcut (assuming you've installed into the default location): Right click upon the desktop and select New->Shortcut Paste this command into the location field:"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe" Name the shortcut: Windows Defender
  15. That's the reason allot of consumers are using Windows-based PC's, heck if someone doesn't need allot of power they can get a Celeron processor Windows-based PC at a very low price. I remember being totally fed up with Win98 years ago and when visiting Apple's site to look at Mac prices I was shocked at the cost, hence I got new PC that could handle WinXP.

    Mozilla

    CCleaner fully supports cleaning of Firefox. I'm not sure if it cleans Google Desktop, but there's an entry named Google Deskbar in the winapp.ini file which CCleaner supports for cleaning.
  17. Good explaination DJLizard! Which would also be why antivirus companies recommend a cold boot to remove a memory virus.
  18. Yeah and there will probably be assclowns like when the PS2 was released that gobbled up as many consoles as they could only to sell them for $1000.00, $1500.00 USD, and higher because of the demand. People who do that should be jailed. Ha ha Father: What do you want for Christmas son? Son: A Sony Rootkit! And DRM!
  19. Yup, hell indeed just froze over. WinXP on a Mac, I'd think the whole ideal of getting a Mac would be to get away from Windows. And if you don't like it I'll gladly take the donation. Please send it plainly packaged to me via FedEx or UPS Air.
  20. Not possible in Windows, normal mode or safe mode hence it's an in-use locked file. You'd have to have an OS like Win98 which you could boot in MS-DOS with to use a DOS virus scanner - but even then I have no ideal if a DOS antivirus scanner pays much attention to the pagefile. I have no ideal if a pagefile could contain an infection or not, but it's fairly easy to do a registry "tweak" to have the pagefile cleared by Windows when it shutsdown or restarts. The "tweak" to have the pagefile cleared at shutdown and restart on WinXP is located here at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, scroll down to #248 it's the one on the right 'Clear Page File on Exit - Undo'. If you use it make sure you download 'Clear Page File on Exit' and 'Undo' there's two downloads for that "tweak." Note: If you use it expect a long time for Windows to shutdown or restart.
  21. Right who in their right mind would pay $200 USD more for it when the competition would have a lower price. Sony lost money like crazy with the PS2 hardware and knowly allowed it to happen. They could essentially lose allot of money on the hardware, just to make it up all up from the software. Most people will buy only one console however everybody buys several game titles over the lifespan of a console.
  22. You can learn how to do this by looking at this winapp2.ini thread to get a general ideal of how to create an entry to clean ConTEXT's MRU list. After you figure out how to create the entry and have successfully tested it a few times on your system you can post it here.
  23. burnatonce also can create .iso image files, as well as burn them.

    Opera Cookies

    I don't know of any way to allow CCleaner to not delete particular Opera cookies. Currently that would have to be done with Opera itself by: Click 'Tools->Delete Private Data->Advanced->untick Delete All Cookies' since you obviously don't want all of them removed. Next click 'Tools->Delete Private Data->Advanced->Manage Cookies' Note: In order to keep your cookies from getting out of hand you should periodically clean them, otherwise you'll be dealing with allot of them manually since Opera will only allow you to delete one at a time in 'Manage Cookies'. Edit: Forgot to mention: To keep your cookies and only deal with them in Opera you'll have to disable Opera cookie deletion in CCleaner by doing this: 'Cleaner->Cleaner Settings->Applications->Opera->untick Cookies' I'm using WinXP and the installer has prompted me for a selection since at least the version 7 days of Opera, I don't really remember what version started prompting for multi-user support. If you aren't using WinXP that "may" be why it didn't prompt you to choose which type of installation. In any event multiple people can share a single user browser, you'd just have to separate the bookmarks and keep them neat.
