Since you'll most likely be using a free service they'll have tools you can use which offer a built-in site uploader. The uploader is similiar to, and as easy to use as uploading an image (avatar) to display on this forum. You can also update your site via FTP using Internet Explorer.

NT Registry Optimizer (NTREGOPT): May not be totally safe, the reason I say that is because after using it I noticed some special links like those that use a CLSID for the link, I suppose that's what there're using where dead in my "Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools" and "Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools" and weren't at all easy to fix since System Restore didn't help at all, nor did the backup created by ERUNT. I've since removed NTREGOPT and am using RegCompact.NET. RegSeeker: Remember it's a beta versoin, and it acts like beta software in many instances and can be unpredictable from what is listed to what is actually removed from the registry. Unless you have an insanely huge exclude.ini file I don't see it as being all that safe to use, just search the CCleaner forum for RegSeeker and you'll see what I mean. It has the ability to mess up the installation of Windows Media Player, ZoneAlarm TrueVector Service, and it can drop kick MS Office right in the balls, etc., the list goes on and on. I still use it even though I'm critical of it, however I look at the undo file(s) it creates.

My best tip would be to learn HTML. Don't want to buy a program for coding a webpage, then look into Mozilla Suite it has Composer. Can't always rely upon programs doing all the work for you, and don't use MS Publisher to create a site if you want to do complex things, etc., since it may not or won't display correctly in anything but Internet Explorer.

Two running at the same time is a bad ideal, I know Win98 went into some "warning more than one antivirus detected" mode when this was done, however it was invisible and didn't even bother notifying the user, I don't know if WinXP does this or not. About every three months I install one of the freeware AV scanners to double check and make sure eTrust really is keeping my system clean, of course the only safe way to do that is to completely disable an already installed antivirus program so that none of its components are running. One problem with having two AV's on one system even if one is completely disabled, and even if it doesn't come with a resident shield is sometimes another one may give a false positive of another's definition files however this usually only occurs if the definition files aren't encrypted. Another problem is if an AV scanner is automatically set to delete infected or suspicious files, it can wipe out another AV scanner's definition files (again probably will only happen if they aren't encrypted), that's the reason when I do my quarterly scan with a secondary checkup AV program I configure it to only report infected or suspicious files.

If you live in the United States visit a Staples store, they sell a Casio CD printer. I don't completely remember the price, I think it was around $50. Whatever you do don't resort to using the stick-on labels, if you create an audio CD they eventually cause disc warpage when the disc heats up leading to skips and the inability to playback the disc once it is heated up.

Probably is, AntiVir is known for giving false positive's.

I was the person who submitted the string for cleaning Foxit PDF Reader.

Norton may not suck at finding known viruses. The reason I stopped using it back in 2001 was because it never found sucpicious or virus destroyed file's that F-Prot and BitDefender would quickly identify.

I've tried AntiVir multiple times however it tends to get crashy on my system, and will always crash on me when it gets to a rootdir backup .cab archive. 64-bit is supposedly "more secure," well at least from what I've read from Avast.

None

I don't think so. Looking at his posts and his writing would suggest he isn't 11.

Windows Disk Cleanup is the reason there are such programs as CCleaner, hence Windows Disk Cleanup isn't very useful and doesn't do squat compared to CCleaner. I don't see how anyone including PC newbies could use CCleaner incorrectly since it's so intuitive and doesn't require any in-depth computer knowledge to effectively clean a system with it. And no CCleaner doesn't wreak havoc with the system registry, nor does it break Windows!

Cool!

I completely agree, however I'll go one step further and say it's an expensive and dangerous POS! About three years ago I tried it on my old Win98 system and was shocked that it reduced the registry from approximately 6 MB to 1.5 MB, it literally killed the registry. Good thing for MS-DOS and being able to restore a registry backup.

I've heard all sorts of nightmare stories about it, however one advantage it had over Win9x was System Restore. Another advantage was continued hardware support after most hardware devices no longer supported Win9x.

Nothing like ripped feet eh. Ooh you must've been working out, those are some strong feet, I bet you get all kinds of good feet compliments.

There's AMD Athlon 64, don't know when Intel will release one. As for AV supporting 64-bit this is from Avast 4.6 (Home/Professional Edition): "For 32-bit Windows operating systems Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP and 64-bit version of Windows XP."

"how do you get it so you can see a site in the directory mode." By typing in only the directory name, I simply removed the .exe file from the URL you provided to see what was in the directory. The only reason you can see the directory listing is because that's the way the site is designed, not all websites work that way and actively hide directory contents. If there had been an index.htm or index.html file it wouldn't have worked. If the flash update won't work it can only mean that the upgrade is not for your particular drive, e.g.; the wrong firmware won't work with the wrong drive it's to insure you don't destroy your drive.

Could've possibly been using the browser back button.

Call it indecision 2005, I switched back to ZoneAlarm -- I wonder how long that decision will last.

The URL doesn't work, however this will 1. Goto the site directory containing the file here: http://www.pikaone.com/download/drivers/Dvd_rw_interne/ 2. Then right click the file and save as, worked for me.

I've used it for years. I must admit though it would be much safer for novice PC users if Toni would remove the duplicate files finder, and made the add/remove button not list things that can break Windows.

Yep, I already know of its failings however I do daily scans, and I'm always poking around in the registry so I'd notice anything.

NOD32. At least for now, I bet you'll use something like NOD64 when you get a 64-bit system.
