[Avast question]

You mean the VRDB missing? I just took S1W2 at his word about version 5 dropping the VRDB function. I never re-downloaded, I still have v. 4.8 Hom. I never knew what its function was anyway.

Thanks Humpty! Much appreciated.

I imagine Vista is strictly NTFS whereas XP can be in FAT32 or NTFS.

Actually, I'm looking for a sound to activate ONLY when I press the Caps Lock key, thus warning me that the Caps Lock key was pressed. Having the same sound on my entire keyboard defeats this purpose.

[I really need some help!]

I bet!

[Avast question]

Also., how did you manage to get rid of VRDB?

 

Who, me? All I did was re-install Avast 4.8 yesterday from Filehippo.

So you heard they were getting rid of VRDB? Maybe (hopefully) they got a bad feeling after hearing how so many people were dumping AVG 8 for being so "bloated".

[Avast question]

I have 4.8 Home Edition, same as I had before.

 

I never did a scan on my system since install. Maybe that will trigger it?

[Avast question]

Tell me, where would VRDB show up on this menu? About 2/3rd the way down, right? I don't have it anymore.

 

 

I'm gonna try re-downloading and re-installing.

You said in a recent post -

control panel accessability settings which allows you to have a beep etc if you do caps lock

 

How do I set up my PC to beep if I (almost always accidentally) hit the Caps Lock key?

[Avast question]

Some of you may remember I had a problem with Avast targeting Big Fish games .exe's as malware or worms. They're false alarms. I temporarily solved my problem by reverting back to AVG8. (You know how long that would last, right?) So I re-installed Avast and put those .exe's in the 'ignore' field and so far so good.

 

But I noticed I don't have the spinning (or warbley) "i" next to the spinning blue A ball. I forget what that particular program within Avast was called but it's nowhere to be found within my Avast commands. Anywhere. Did they update Avast Home to not have it anymore?

 

And what was that all about anyway?

[I hate Ubuntu]

I'm not familiar with SoundBlasters' site or their products, sorry.

 

I tried Ubuntu in XP and it worked very well.

DNSResponder is a Service in XP. I don't know what mDNSResponder is.

[I really need some help!]

This is unrelated but I've "found" supposed non-existing CD drives just by looking for them in Device Manager. I'd only 'look' at them, their driver, etc. And then in a few hours the PC would recognize the drive, by itself, with no tinkering on my part. This has happened to me twice on 2 separate PCs.

Your post is excellent and it sounds like you know those programs very well but I just can't help laughing every time I read the names of those products. I'm thinking of several alternatives right now.

[SP2 to SP3 ?]

I have almost all the same programs as you and they all work fine. SP3 is no big deal.

Keeping Up Appearances. If I ever get enough $ saved that's the first TV show compilation I'll buy on DVD. It is just too good.

Reminds me of CoolEdit2000's "bells" they watermarked into their trial versions. Then again, have you checked for tinnitus or a middle ear problem?

I posted that at another forum a few days ago. LGF is such a serious site. It's good to see them have a bit of play once in a while.

I like Anthonys' desktop obsession with gravity-ripping, tidal-destroying giant moons. I still want to design an adventure game on such concepts.
