but i get my parts from small computer shop vendors and get great deals... they are always willing to drop their prices This makes me think you've never actually built a PC before. The prices I quoted are the lowest prices I could find at some of the bigger online parts sites, eg newegg.com and zipzoo
Starkers, that's got to be annoying... The only way I can think that Avast would be able to do that is if it walked the entire surface of your HDD looking for the beginning of a file and then scanning each next section because deleting the file should remove it's record from the FAT table at the very least which is technically the way programs like Avast should be finding files to scan. Anyway, I guess all I'm trying to say is it would annoy me to no e
I noticed Avast scans deleted files I'm pretty sure if you empty your recycle bin it won't scan them. Files in your recycle bin aren't really deleted, just relocated.

well, it would be tough to mix sending files to local network machines versus sending files to computers on the Internet. For sending to computers on the internet you'll likely need to use FTP but that of course assumes the remote computers are running an FTP server. As far as copying files to local network machines they have to have file and printer sharing enabled and you need to know where to put the files. If you are on a domain you also need to ha
Microsoft made a special version for the EU because they were forced to. Yah, I know that was sort of a tongue in cheek comment. I don't think for one minute that MS would create a small business edition of their OS because there aren't enough small businesses out there that will whine and moan loud
Ok Bakerstreet, I think I see where you're coming from.. You're suggesting maybe MS would benefit from offering a small business version of the OS? I think I would agree with you on that, an smaller footprint version that just works. Having workedin the "corporate" IT industry for going on 10 years I can see how that would be helpful to many companies big and small. Even in companies that do high tech work there are inevitably folks who don't need the
Bakerstreet, I completely understand where you're coming from but I don't really see how it's Microsoft's problem. Does Apple or any other major software vendor support their software for as long as MS does now? Let's be honest with ourselves, XP is getting on in years it's been out for something like 5 years now. Can you get a copy of any Apple OS from 5 or more years ago and give their support line a call and get technical support for it?
I understand their aversion to cleaning the code, but it is that old code that probably leads to the most security holes. That old code is also what makes Windows compatible with the absolutely excessive amount of hardware it supports too.. The thing we windows users need to remember is that the bloat
FF & WB issue has been long ongoing. Really?? I've been using WB and FF together since I started using FF.. Never had any problems and I use quite a few extensions. Weird.
First, look here https://www.wincustomize.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=1&AID=110729. SD is experiencing what you might call growing pains at the moment and they are finding it difficult to get adequate coverage for all of the necessary duties for all of their apps all of the time. They are becoming unfortunate victims of their own success and it is causing some hardships for them and some annoyance for us. That said, as a whole SD is probably the
Hey Brad, you know Austin Tx would be a great place for SD's first satellite office!! It could be the warmer place to get away..
or do i need something in the pref's to say "use proxy" You would need something that allowed your users to choose whether or not to use a proxy because they would need to enter the proxy server name and port. Oh, and since I forgot to post this with the original code, you'll need some of t
Hackers just hate MS so they prefer to hack MS products not sure I agree with this completely. Some hackers may hate what MS stands for but I'd argue that they love MS. Their products give hackers exactly what they want, an extremely large userbase all using the same software so that the hackers explo
Here's a snippet of how to make HTTP requests using a proxy var winHttpReq = new ActiveXObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1"); PROXY_SERVER = document.all.serverName.value + ":" + document.all.serverPort.value; winHttpReq.SetProxy(HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PROXY, PROXY_SERVER, ""); winHttpReq.Open("GET", "https://www.someplace.com", false); winHttpReq.SetRequestHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE
Looks more like a driver issue to me. What kind of Video card do you have and what drivers are you running? Post your System Information from the WB config dialog here also. Do the artifects go away if you hit F5 or right-click and select refresh?
For what? creating widget? Using widgets? If it's the latter the widget would have to be coded to support connections through a proxy server.
Wow!! Crappy luck, sorry to hear that! Is your computer a laptop or desktop? I think if it's a desktop it's easy enough to just remove all the components while you paint the case to keep a repeat from happening. If it's a laptop I think that is you are really careful to avoid painting over gaps in the case, and if you're going to be painting over the gaps maybe putt
Any application that paints its own UI will potentially have a problem with WB. There's really nothing SD can do about it, users just have to be able to find the problematic apps and exclude them.
So there is a way to "edit" gadgets but it might be a pain Uhh, I'd say it would be a tad bit more than a pain. The scripts are encrypted or compressed or both but they are definitely not plain text. The files in a gadget are extracted when you run it, but like I said the scripts are not plain text.</
Hey Kevin ,cheers for that Not a problem, glad it was helpful.. I just wish MS had thought about these sorts of things when they released 2.0. I'm sure there are lots of people out there wondering why they can't run a 1.1 compatible application on a box with the 2.0 framework installed. It definitely
i can build same system they build for half price Maybe some of their lower end systems but not the high-end gaming rigs. If you could even get some of the parts they offer there's no way you could beat the price on the whole system. Especially if it's an SLI system etc. In just some quick
Why don't you just tell the people to run out and buy a new computer, stupid idiot! Wow!! A little high strung aren't we?!? While the suggestion to format your HD just to run WB might be a little extreme it's not like you or anyone have to follow his advice. And if you do feel an overwhelming urge to
Any suggestions for a suite of AV Depends on your level of computer knowledge. If you are fairly knowledgable wrt computers and viruses and how not to get infected you can probably get away with just a good AV program. If however you think you want the full protection, I would suggest the Zone Alarm
The system fans get their power directly from the motherboard, and are monitored by the system BIOS I knew someone would go there. You are correct, in PC's fans are controlled by the BIOS but the new Intel Macs *don't have a BIOS*! They use a new boot technology that PC's will be able to use once Vist
OK, downloaded a Gadget, ran it and peeked at its activities. The scripts are most definitely encrypted/compressed on disk. So, someone could get the scripts but I think it would take them a good bit of work to actually get anything usable from them.
