  1. Whatever they call it, the result will probably be just as crappy as vista, and the renamed vista = windows 7 Long live XP
  2. Its important that you run your new monitor at the correct resolution of 1600x900. I would first check if there is a driver update for this resolution. If not it will need a new card that supports this resolution. Other than some improvement in colour rendition I dont think you will see any significant gains in DVI. However, if you decide to buy a new card I would go for it.
  3. Makes me wonder why you asked the question; if you think you already know the answer.
  4. The detail from javacool does not seem to agree http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
  5. I have used it without problem since it was first available. The only downside is it resets the current icons to hide when not in use.

    Inpaint 2.0

    Interesting. My security blocked the setup exe as suspicious. Was there a taskbar or something else included.
  7. It has performed this way right back to the early versions. (just tsested 1.41) it performs a full clean.
  8. Why blame Foxit (which is an excellent product) The op didn't have to download the toolbar. So many free programs are adding toolbar options to help towards the cost, that its essential that users look to be sure what they are about to download
  9. The update only seems to add the ebay short cuts
  10. So Did Symantec F-secure Kaspersky Bitdefender You could also say that all the others did not perform well
  11. The old english saying 'mountains out of mole hills' springs to mind. Or very bias reporting even from the screen shots its clear you do not have to install the toolbar. Also, once Foxit is installed it can be updated from within the GUI without any further reference to tool bars.
  12. Me too I have used foxit for several years now and it is updated on a regular basis
  13. Well, you sure have made a lot of posts over there. Like Hazel I don't see a problem with having to register. They will also have the advantage of all the information available here.

    Tricky problem.

    How about a 'system restore' while you have it slaved. I cant remember the command, but I believe it was posted here at one time. Just make sure all your commands are pointing to the correct drive. I am not sure if you can do a repair using I386. You could try an ISO of SP3 if you can borrow a USB Rom. Other than that I am out of ideas Here is link for low cost drive. But check to make sure the laptom will boot from a USB http://www.ebest24.co.uk/slim-portable-ext...aptop-1764.html

    Tricky problem.

    Hope you have a plan 2 Dennis as your image wont work on another laptop, as fireyone has said. If you haveaccess to a USB rom drive you could use that to perform a windows repair.
  16. Best solution I can think of is remove Adaware and use Malwarebytes which is vastly superior

    Tricky problem.

    If the laptop is a older model it may not be able to read the modern high speed CD disks. Check a disk that he has used in the past for the read speed. I would go for a 'Windows Repair' if not remove the hard disk and slave it to your PC to recover the files.
  18. May be worth waiting awhiles as it is causing a lot of frustrations. They are blocking IP ranges rather than individual sights, so many good sights are getting blocked. As yet there is no ability to whitelist either.
  19. Go to the bottom of the page and check the post from advancedsetup you have to do a reg edit
  20. The answer is here on mbam forum http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21076

    Vista

    Seems to be a lot of crap in this post - in more ways than one
  22. I have used Foxit for years. Its fast and reliable.
  23. Forum works fine for me - using IE8
