Sparky006 My biggest problem is other people wanting to borrow it while I am busy using it to play games or something. You can't really say no, because they have real work they want to borrow it for, but a problem nonetheless. Oh and when they download viruses...

Sparky006 So far I have not once had an issue with opera not working with a website. If it has an error or something, you switch opera to identify/mask itself as firefox or IE, then it has always worked for me. And that is on a per-site basis. So you set it to mask as...

windows 7 beta

alex7025 @alex7025 (48) 13 Jan 09

Last night I downloaded the new OS from windiws, still in beta. There are some glitches, but it seem better and faster than Vista. Have anyone started testing it yet?

Sparky006 I've had it for a couple days. It appears slightly faster than Vista because of sequencing changes. It will load your program windows first, rather than the program process itself. As was mentioned in another post, this doesn't show up much on faster machines,...

Sparky006 In all reality, for the front-end user, there are very few differences between windows 7 and windows Vista. The main difference is the cool new taskbar, looks like it took a page out of Mac's book with a dock-like taskbar. There are a few more control panel...

Windows 7 Beta

Sparky006 @Sparky006 (13) • United States 12 Jan 09

I'd like to know people's first impressions of the new Windows 7? Has anyone else had a chance to download and try it out? I picked it up a couple days ago and installed it, and I must say I was shocked. Not at how good it was,...

I'd really hate to seeing as money is a big up at the moment, and i could probably deal with my computer for a little longer, but i cant seem to understand, even when i dont download anything anymore etc, that my computer is...

Sparky006 Simply running windows causes unnecessary bits and bytes to accumulate. These things can be somewhat cleaned out, but after so long it generally gets to the point of a reformat being required. Of course if you have a virus that would defeinitely do it. What...

Sparky006 Trillian is a good program for connecting to all the various services at the same time. I've seen the Trillian Astra beta, which adds services like Skype's IM protocol and others, and it should be even more amazing than Trillian. Working IT at a company and...
