Happy 16th Birthday! Today is your day!
dont get anyone pregnant
I must need new glasses, I could have sworn that read "don't get anymore pregnant" - nevermind.

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.
-
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:
-
after that, you have to uninstall the files to save HD space. that's the cleanup that he's talking about.
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.

doesnt anyone go outside anymore?
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.

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.
-
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.
-
Microsoft Update/Windows Update doesn't even list those builds, so perhaps they're not a final build.
Nonetheless I use them anyway. -
Okay, I downloaded the new update for DirectX but now when I'm installing it, it is asking me to extract the files but I don't know where to extract them to. Any help?
That's why after I download DX I always unpack it, and then re-pack it using an SFX module, either ZIP or RAR.

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.

No point really, other than I found it amazing Apple was loosening up a bit and not only sanctioning but providing software to allow an MS product on their a/r Macs.
Hence all the hell freezing over comments
...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.

i've heard rumors about the PS3 which limits the ammount of time you can play a game.
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.

Hi.
Yes, I can do that, but when I use that shortcut it just takes me to a bunch of files within the Defender folder. I was rather hoping I could just have an icon I could click on to run the Windows Defender scan.
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

Mac is very price computer.
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.

Good explaination DJLizard!
Which would also be why antivirus companies recommend a cold boot to remove a memory virus.
-
however expensive they are ppl will buy them
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.
Comes with free rookit? Yippikayey!
Ha ha
Father: What do you want for Christmas son?

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.
As soon as the new mac mini comes out I'm going to buy one.
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.

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.

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.

I am using ConTEXT as replacement of windows text editor, CClean does not clean the recent file list,
It would be great to have a custom ADD registry entry to be cleaned
also custom extention deletion.
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.

So, if I understand you correctly...in CCleaner -->Options-->Cookies, that only tracks IE, Mozilla, and Firefox cookies and not Opera...right?
Right!

cdburnerxp pro can create image files, it creates .ISO image files.
burnatonce also can create .iso image files, as well as burn them.

However, I don't want every cookie cleaned out. CCleaner is not "catching" any of the Opera cookies in that place where I can protect the ones I want to keep.
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'
Also, I don't understand where the option was during installation of Opera with or without "multi-user" support. I took the standard default installation and did not see anything to select a multi-user or single-user functionality.
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.
Nonetheless I use them anyway.

Good alternatives to Nero ?
