This isnt a 'supercar', but close.......the Audi R8. It was was on Top Gear last night (UK TV car program). Looked very tasty. Even beat the Porsche 911.

Or you could just press Home (top), End (bottom) on ur keyboard instead.

I've been toying with idea of getting an uninstaller program.As I've been playing with a few freeware programs recently, and Im finding it a chore going through the registry,%temp%, & %appdata% all the time when I deceide I don't like it. Do these uninstall app's work in the background constantly, or do you run them prior to installing a program? Thanks.

Slightly of topic. Radiohead are from Oxford (UK), which is where I live. <--- Not that there up my boulevard, if you catch me drift.

The link works ok for me. Try going to the Adobe website an entering "uninstall flash player exe" in the search box at the top.Should be the third one down. CraigM

Uninstall the old version first. Use the Adobe uninstaller, then do a re-install with the new version. CraigM

But HijackThis does create a backup, if you need to re-apply.So it's not that difficult. CraigM

At the bottom of the msg there's a check box that say's "Dont show this message or lanuch system configuration utility when windows start". Put a tick in it, then it shouldn't appear again. Please note msconfig is a diagnostic tool and shouldn't be used as a permanent way to stop programs running at startup. Try looking inside the program itself to stop it, or use something like 'Hijack this' to remove startup entries. CCleaner also has a startup removal in the 'Tools' section. CraigM

Just seen it's been updated again. CDBurnerXP 4.0.015.277 at Majorgeeks CraigM

Just in case you didnt know, you can backup your song's etc through Itunes itself. Have a look here After reading this thread I might just backup mine. CraigM

Hi Mercury_22. Have a look here mate, third post down. CraigM

My notebook go's into standby (by default) when you close the lid. Never tried it , till after reading this. Might just use it now instead of turning off completely. Thou I did notice all my system tray icons returned after bringing her back round. I only normally have just 2 icons there. Now I have a full set. CraigM

What do you think of this Ebay auction. Do you think it's genuine? Discuss CraigM

I'm not sure, but I think 'Talkback' is a part of Firefox. That's probably why you can't remove it. Talkback (scroll down a bit) CraigM

Agreed. But an interesting read nevertheless Robbie. CraigM

Hi Icedrake I don't know if this applies to you to your computer! But I also have 'interVideo WinDVD' on my Sony Vaio notebook. I too was looking to uninstall unused programs, big mistake , it disabled my CD/DVD drive completely. Luckily system restore put it back for me, phew. You are warned! CraigM

Have you got the PC3200 in slot 1, and the PC2700 in slot 2. Because you have 2 speeds of ram, your CPU will run at the slower of the 2 sticks. PC2700 in your case Are you running 'dual channel' , as Im lead to believe they have to be both the same speed. CraigM.

Installed with no problems, nice. Are there any plans for a 'slim version' ? CraigM.

Cheers JD. For a fellow Craig, no problem. Here ya go. CraigM.

Good to see peoples results and thoughts. I always found speedtest pretty consistent. But if its reliable, I don't know. Just tried that site Anthony, and my download was halfed compared to speedtest (up was the same). I also noticed it was java based, I think that's the first time I've seen the java icon in my system tray. CraigM.

Noticed a couple of discussions on the forum today about broadband/dial up speeds. So I thought lets start up a thread an see what everyone is getting, and for how much. http://www.speedtest.net/ I'm with BT Broadband (UK), I pay ?25 a month for 8Mb. So what's your then? CraigM.

I noticed that yesterday Humpty. I think it's the 'lofiversion' in the url address, is the culprit. I wonder why this is?

Rumour has it at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ that a happy birthday is in order. Is this true Andy? If so....................Happy Birthday m8
