I occasional use StarDownloader I like it. 8yrs no spyware most of the time it is just the Opera DL manager.

hi preston. I ran spybot s&d the other night and it said that stumbledupon.com left a toolbar on my computer and a registry entry. spybot recognizes it as a baddie. let me know if you find anything. thanks. let me edit this: I'm not sure if it was spybot, adaware, or asquare...anyway it said it was a no-no. I foud nothing with Spybot, ewindo, A aquared, or Adaware. I have this PC locked down pretty tight so this may not be a indication of safty. I will with draw the link if it is a potential hazard. I thought mindless surfing from time to would be theraputic. sorry.

Stumbleupon.com hours of fun just surfing. Preston

This is what I would do it will take some preparation. 1. Download AutoStreamer 2. get a full copy of SP2 Get it here 3. Get your XP CD Use AutoStreamer to Slipstream SP2 into XP this will create a ISO file (which can be made into a bootable CD) if you do not have Nero (which is easier than most to burn a bootable file) To burn the ISO to disk Download a copy of CD burner XP Pro (free CD burning program that with burn ISO file) 4. Burn the ISO file. You now have a bootable cd Of XP with SP2 included already. Use it to reinstall XP. Keep with your Original copy in a safe place. Preston

JetAudio does a far better job plus you have the option to record in .FLAC, .OGG, or .APE along with the standards. I converted tons of old Jazz from LP . Used audacity (could never get it perfect) RipVynil, and MusicMatch Jet audio is the best. Be sure your system wav level is not too high and play with the record levels in JetAudio it should only take a few moment to get right. Preston

Did you get a Software cd when you 1st got Comcast? Usually you get a software cd that sets up the connection and everything for you from your ISP. If not, just connect the cable up to the PC i t is usually in and network the laptop and the other pc, and just share the internet connection (Conect to - right click your connection - properties - Networking (or advanced) - tick the box next to Share Connection over network (or something along those lines) I never use Comcast's software it would not have work in this case. You must shut down the modem before you switch or it will not obtain an

I believe AMD locked the clock speed to avoid re-tagging by some un-scrupulous PC builders. Back in the day you would get what you thought was a hot Athalon chip and what you had was a very very hot Duron. Done right most would never know but done wrong it was fried in short order with no warrantee. Preston

To compare ME to 98SE is an atrosity. ME was a half backed OS that M$ id trying yo forget about. ME was ment to be a home version of Win 2000. Preston

how many fonts do you have installed? word loads ever blasted font you have on your system into memory when you start it. My suggestion is to get a good font manager and turn off the un-needed fonts you have installed. This can be tricky you must first determine what fonts other application use for display so as not to turn them off. This may speed things up a bit. Preston

My bet is naraku9333's suggestion is what worked this is a common problem switching PCs with cable connection and easy to overlook. Preston

did you know that Symantec has aquired Sygate I was going to suggest Sygate since I have used it so long now I find out it is nolonger. I have not kept up with it. I here this happened in Oct. I cannot believe I missed this.

you may have to borrow a real copy of XP to get to (the recovery Console I would install it if you can) The Emachine restore disk is nothing but a way to access a ghost image on a hidden partition. You can replace file with the recovery console and repair the Master boot record without loosing any data. the restore disk will kill it all.

are you hooked up to a broadband connection or on a network? if you are the wake on LAN feature maybe on. Preston

By any chance did you use a drive imaging program or have one installed on your system? Many new games will see Nero ImageDrive has been used and assume that it was used for copy purposes. Also I have heard programs like Clone CD/ Clone DVD to cause install and in game errors. I'm just brain storming. Preston

It's a wonderful thing ain't it!

I use photoshop and Illustrator as part of my job and I would have to agree you have far to little ram. While PS in itself would run happy with 256mb ram you also have Windows and many other components wanting to use that available RAM while 2gig would be over kill 512mb would be putting a bandaid on it. 1gig if you can handle would be optimal to function smoothly. This would push your performace to a level that you would wonder why you ever thought 256 was optimal. More ram is the best advice. Also if you use PS alot I would suggest a second Harddrive (Nothing fancy or large I used an old 2g

Ouch - definitly won't be doing anything like that I knew something had to be bad, I just hate having to pay so much for programs Did you check out the link I posted for adobe creative suite http://www.academicsuperstore.com/market/m...l?PartNo=731431. Under 400 buck is the steal of a lifetime I buy all my software there. Do the math it is just as cheap as the questionable stuff on the site you posted. Preston

We got plenty of room maybe your presence can displace an equal ammount of the local no common sense residents and we will be that much closer to the national level of normality. Preston
