  3. OOOHHH Yeah a reformat. Love it. Like a fresh spring day inside your machine. I suggest you load any/all software you can't live without, update all, tweak your system back to where you know it will be at it's best, then make an image for restoring later. Make two copies. CD-RW so you could rewrite to it if you chnge the can't live withouts. This will save you time from loading from factory restore the updating and loading software later. M

    %$*&@ Pop Ups

    I was at the local ghigh school subbng. Kids had to watch a movie in french so i came here. Cannot make changes to the system, might hurt tech guys feelings. I can see toolbar addon on may of the machines there. Hate to run spybot or adaware, may be all kinds of nasties. M
  11. Well the location actuator script in 98 is based on the alphabet. The programmer, press to meet the release deadline was forced to stop at the letter "C". Since then this programmer has since gone on to work on XP. He felt he had to fix the short commings he had built into 98. Yeah it's B$... but hey why not. M

    %$*&@ Pop Ups

    I'm not on my machine at home so this verrryyy annoying. I browsing around and notice the pop ups. Not only are they themselves aggrevating, but some appear as scare tactics. they are odd sized, off center so you have to slide the screen to close them or go to the task bar, then some are hard to close. I know what life is like without them so having to deal with them for one day can be tolorated. has anyone here ever found anything of any use from what appeared in a popup or pop under? M I do understand having advertising is a way to cut cost.
  13. link finally oppened. I cannot see the practical use for it. M
  14. Thanks I'll try the Rapid Backup util. M

  16. Been there done that. Nothing anyone could tell me was worst than I told myself after I found the problem. Wife thought I was being extremely ugly to someone on the phone. She laughed after I told her the story. M
  17. All the bells and whistles mean nothing if it is outdated or not used often. Agreed with the personal opinion. M
  18. How about a top notch mix. a/v firewall pop up blocker spyware remover/blocker regcleaner disk wiper/cleaner sys optimizer finds updates for programs installed on hdd. runs in an order to be most effecient It has to be able to do Windows. M
  19. Iused McAfee,Norton,and AVG. Didn't care for AVG, cannot explain why...just didn't like it. Using Avast now, like it but it doesn't have a schedule scan, don't matter I scan a couple times a week. Try the free ones. If one catches your fancy use it and keep it up to date. Online scanners are good for dbl checking. Google results Norton Online scanner. Near bottom of page. Trend Housecall M
