I never delete automaticlly so I feel safe using it. I myself have seen so perfectly good but cluttered Installs messed up but it has a place in my personal tool box. RegClean is my usual program because it is portable. I rarely use on my PC, But has help with others. You are right for the average user not a good idea. But it does give an overview of what are potential problem areas. I did hand clean for year this just locate many areas of intrest without hitting F3 over and over.
My personal review as of late is:
• Very clean interface
• Fast
• Backup feature
• From what I have seen has only pinpointed safe entries
So for anyone who feels comfortable with this depth of cleaning it is a servicable if not very good Program.
But thats just my Oppinion

CORSAIR has the better rep I have never heard of the others before. If you can get a good warranty on the with the cheaper one the it may be worth it. If you want cut your risk CORSAIR is the way to go. Expensive yeah but it buys piece of mind. I personally would try the inexpensive stuff but I would never advise anyone to do so.

I hear this problem after the second tuesday of every month the day after M$ updates.
Most times I roll back the display driver and it works. At least on the three PCs I'm call on every month.
Once I roll back I install a fresh drive from ATI or nVidia which ever maybe the case.
Also if you have a stand alone card removing it and cleaning the contacts can also help if it is a connection issue.
I noticed your little emachine is under RAM'd for my taste. I you have a onboard graphic (that shares memory) there could be some issues there also, like other Hardware and or software competing for available resources. The latter statement is a mere theory not completely proven. I just fix a computer where I did so many thing I could not tell you exactly what fixed the problem this is my assumption.

Just remember, that a router and Windows Firewall are for incoming only. Doesn't prevent nasties from calling home if you have one on you PC like you sometimes get using P2P programs.
I would have to agree. I prefer a hardware and a software Firewall I feel the most secure that way.
Comodo and my properly configured Linksys and I am locked tight both directions.

I have always been a big fan of Comodo (I leave the defense mode off it is annoying)
Hey I noticed in the commonly rec. Programs pin the left out
Inkscape
(a nice vector graphics program simular to Adobe Illustrator or freehand)
and
Scribus
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ckage_id=136924
(page layout/ desktop publishing)
In the graphics area.
Ad these two to in conjuction with GIMP and you have a powerful answer to the costly
Adobe Creative Suite (nothing wrong with Adobe CS" but the average person may not want to pay for something there will use for a parttime hobby)

I'll start it out with the best defragmenter.
In my opinion the best defragmenter that is free is IOrbit's Smart Defrag.
Has a wide variety of excellent options
A. Power Down after defragment
B. Auto Defragment
C. Optimizes files (Moves most commonly used to the front)
It's also razor fast and can get the job done way faster than even auslogistic defrag.
I like JkDefrag
http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/
A. Portable No install
B. Light and Fast
C. Command line functionality if you like
D. Move all programs to front of drive
I also use WinContig
http://wincontig.mdtzone.it/en/index.htm
Good for Gamers defrag individual files (those game files and save files marked improvement in Sims 2 load times all expansions installed)
No install
A few of my other favorite free ware products are
EASEUS Partition Manager
http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/easeus-pa...rtitionman.html
as good as Partition Magic same feel
SyncBack
http://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/index.html
Nice Little backup and sync tool I have considered buying the SE version but I don't need it as of yet.
IceSword Rootkit removal (drawback no help files)
Some Instructions at Castlecops
http://www.castlecops.com/t165203-IceSword...llustrated.html

Gmer

Well besides getting a warning that my browser is not supported; i got through to the next page anyhow.

Acrobat.com is a set of online services - file sharing and storage, PDF converter, online word processor, web conferencing - you can use to create and share documents, communicate in real time, and simplify working with others from anywhere.
Looks like Adobe has seen the success of Googles online apps and decided that they may as well start testing the waters .
Send files to others for easy access while you maintain control.
Convert up to five files to Adobe PDF online. (IS that five at a time or five per session or five total before they charge you for it?)
Write and collaborate on documents anywhere, anytime. (What format documents? PDF? DOC? TXT?)
Store your files online for easy access from anywhere. (OKay.....)
Meet live over the web and share your screen with anyone.
I can see its potential; some of those who balk at the idea of using google apps and google online storage may feel more secure and confident using adobe
Kinda long the lines I was thinking Pete. As an advertising professional we tend to trust adobe. Many great apps are overlooked and shuned by corprate IT departments because for wht ever reason Open source or freeware is a legal kiss of death. I fear my company would look at Google apps as just another open source licensing nightmare. At least there is a clearcut terms of use with adobe apps.

Acrobat.com will it be the next great break through?
Who can benefit from this?
How can it help you?
Comments?

Let me get this straight to have duel monitors but you are using separate GPUs 1. the onboard 2. the install card.
you need to turn off the onboard graphics you should have outputs for 2 monitors on the installed card you may need to find DVI to VGA converter or a VGA to DVI converter tpo do this depending upon you monitor.

You should be able to find the backup file and right click it and choose merge this will reintergrate with the registry.
You can make your own backups for added safety:
1. got to start
2. select run
3. type regedit click OK
4. file/ export
5. choose where you want to save to ( I save to a separate drive, external or jumpdrive)

Problem solved I changes the position of the HDDs on the ribbon cable and the expand worked fine I assume that it had confussed the locations s the expand could not continue all fixed now thanks to all.
-
Try expanding it somewhere else to see if it is the source or destination that is the problem.
If it works elsewhere, try copying it to where you need.
Not sure I would have ever thought of that.
If I can expand to a different location then the destination is bad?
would running Scandisk from CMD Prompt help if say there are errors preventing the destination from receiving?
We have decided to pull the HDDs and use a USB adaptor to retrieve personal info to har new computer.
She bought. I was wondering if Cyberpower put an admin password on before they shipped.
Her new PC is coming from there also and it would be nice to know if they have.

Have you tried to retrieve the files with a live Linux CD or Ultimate Boot CD and transfer them to a thumb drive or burn them to CD? I wouldn't trust a repair install 100%. Also on the expand command did you type driver or drivers before the /y ?
yes I typed /y and I typed drivers
Good Idea about the ultimate boot cd THX

Another question if I doan inplace upgrade to repair the installation will personal files remain? (intheory we all know the theory rarely is the outcome)
Windows 7 Beta
in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
Posted
My experience with vista is neither good or bad. The system ran find but my reflex memory wanted XP Vista was just different enough to slow me down. I have no doubt in time I could learn to be as efficient.
I just intalled Win7 beta today and My conclusion the same given I could use it with no remorse.
I have yet to crunch a spread sheet or Use Adobe CS3. I will let you know how it handles this.
So far the cool stuff is just astetic, Since I have no Vista to compare. It is almost as fast as My XP install but I have had years to get it tuned. I save judgement for later.
