mindvapors Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I hate that too, that's the one reason i haven't completely converted to it. That and it kinda lags when doing that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I have to agree, I hate those lags too. If only WMP played everythign, I would just use that. I am using IE for the first time in a while (don't ask) and my computer seems to be loving it. I think since the last Firefox update installed the otehr day I have had some dramas. Has anyone else had ay browser issues over the past week and a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 OK, when you run asquared or AVG anti spyware, and it finds infections or whatever, is it better to quarantine them, or delete them? I have been deleting them everytime, but was unsure whether quarantining them means you don't get the same stuff again or whatnot. Whats the best thing to do in this scenario?

Seffiks Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 * Pros of 802.11b - lowest cost; signal range is best and is not easily obstructed * Cons of 802.11b - slowest maximum speed; supports fewer simultaneous users; appliances may interfere on the unregulated frequency band * Pros of 802.11g - fastest maximum speed; supports more simulatenous users; signal range is best and is not easily obstructed * Cons of 802.11g - costs more than 802.11b; appliances may interfere on the unregulated signal frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKYOU Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 whats up with notebooks? i had about two notebooks so far, both of which ive sold now, but when i had them, i didnt use them all that much, because i prefer desktops. but my question is this... it seemed like after a few weeks / months of non use, when the computer would be turned on again for use, it kept getting slower and slower? what the fuck for? there was hardly any info on the HD, and like i said, i didnt use it all that much, so why did it seem like it was slowing down all the time? use it or lose it steez? what gives?
