    Never fear, Mat555 is still here!

    Hey, great to see ya! Or, hear from you! ... Or, should I say, see some typings from you? Haha anyway, welcome back. Man, those damned MMORPG's... I was once kind of addicted to EverQuest. Even though I still think it was an amazing game back in its heyday, it's the worst thing when you get...

    Registry cleaners/fixers and others?

    Well, I guess you could regain all the functionality of that one program with a combination of several free programs. For example, for editing startup programs you could use Startup Control Panel. It's free and very compact & simple. We do have a sticky thread here listing all the freeware...

    Google Chrome?

    Really? Which occasions do you use each one for?

    Google Chrome?

    Heh I seriously doubt the success prospects of this browser. I haven't tried it, but that's because I don't feel like switching to a browser that doesn't have my beloved FF extensions. :) I have over 10 extensions installed. So many people have put a lot of time and effort into making these...

    Need suggestions on X Server

    Hello, all. Does anyone know much about X Servers? I want to run a program called Grace which is not designed for Windows. It says on its website that it can be run with an X Server. Anyone have any recommendations for a free X Server for WinXP Pro? I've never used one before and am a complete...

    ARGH! How do I disable this annoying WinXP popup??

    omg. Seriously. This is a disaster. It's BACKKKK!!!! I dunno what happened, I thought your method solved it, but I downloaded some other stuff, and now it's happening again! :crying: I tried restarting comp to see what happens, didn't change anything. I looked in the services thing, and security...

    ARGH! How do I disable this annoying WinXP popup??

    AHHHH I think it worked!!!! :D Amazing! Thank you, man! :beer: Okay, but I still don't understand... why is it that I didn't have to do this before, during all my time using WinXP? (At least, I don't remember going through this issue, but I do have quite a good memory.) And it seems like...

    ARGH! How do I disable this annoying WinXP popup??

    Noooooooo! It didn't work! :crying: I was so excited... I don't understand, I never had this happen before, in all my 3+ years of using XP now; where the *@%!* did it come from?! By the way, I didn't even use IE to download. I use FF, without exception. And I downloaded installation files...

    ARGH! How do I disable this annoying WinXP popup??

    I attached a screenshot of it below (the first one). Whenever I double click some kind of installation file that I downloaded from the internet, I get that stupid #*!%(&*!(%* -ing popup! :( This is an issue now with both my laptop and my PC, and it seems to be kind of a recent thing. I've been...

    Formatting Advice Windows XP

    Wow, I have no idea. I didn't know people prefer fdisk either... hm. I am looking at this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255867 and apparently fdisk can only format with either FAT16 or FAT32 format. Which means you will have to use the XP CD to format into NTFS. Personally, I had...

    Undoing a dual-boot setup = headache! Any help plz?

    Thanks, donkey. I read the whole thing. I'm confused, though, why don't I have to do the fixmbr command? If I don't have a boot sector on my HDD with WinXP (since apparently it was on the HDD with Win98 on it), don't I have to do that command?

    some questions about how sound card works and what card to buy

    Thanks, I've been hearing that answer from others as well. I decided ultimately to stay away from that card because reviewers kept saying how Creative installs lots of bloatware, and also one person said it doesn't work with Linux, and I want to try Linux eventually. Bloatware is kind of my...

    How good is dirver support in Linux for Creative soundcard(s)?

    I'm considering trying out Linux in some not-too-distant future. I'm also currently doing serious shopping for a sound card. That is, I will definitely order a new sound card today or in a couple days (by end of this weekend for sure). I saw one review on newegg that said in passing: "I guess...

    some questions about how sound card works and what card to buy

    Hey everyone. I'm trying to shop for a sound card, but I'm not sure of what I need. Right now I have this question, which is most important to me: What will be the impact of getting a relatively nice, gamer-oriented sound card on my computer's performance? Do all those features like the "X-Fi...

    Undoing a dual-boot setup = headache! Any help plz?

    Hey guys. I have kind of been away from these forums for a while... too much stuff going on. Miss you all, though. Anyway, I'm doing some-keeping before school starts again. And one of the things I want to do is to take out one of my HDD's out of my desktop. The way I've had it is Win98 is on...

    Firefox password remembering issues

    You know, I thought of that ... and then forgot. And then you reminded me again haha. On the mozilla support forums I stumbled on this article specifically devoted to my problem... And it turned out you were somehow right the first time. As suggested in the article, I checked my exceptions to...

    Firefox password remembering issues

    Hm. Okay... I was thinking I might have to try the reinstallation thing (I'm gonna hate having to reinstall all the extensions/themes lol). One thing I want to say, though, is that I definitely never told the browser to not remember my password on those sites... It must be something else?? Can...

    Solar dyes give a guiding light

    That is sooo sweet! My dad has said before how it's rather wasteful to have all those modern glass buildings because the glass is less insulating than, say, a brick building. That being the case, those glassy sky scrapers and other company buildings have to be air-conditioned more (thus using up...
