I just reformated my comp and am starting from scratch. What would you recommend for some basic free/share ware to run in the background? antivirus (Is avg still sick?)? CPU/RAM monitors? Also, where can I find other lists I should add to peerguardian 2? I know casek and others have posted stuff like this before, but the most of that was deleted in the oontz server crash. Thanks fellas

bluetack.co.uk for other lists for pg, avira antivirus is good, comodo firewall,

a-squared free...i'll think of some more in a bit.

My internet explorer isnt working, even though I'm clearly connected to the internet and my mozilla connects fine? Whats up with that shit?

 

Am I getting a blocked process from anti-virus or is mozilla not allowing internet explorer access or something? I dunno, I'm baffled. I could really care less about my IE but my girl uses it and is all pissed now that its not working

 

Any ideas?

state offers free college tuition if you do some shit.

visit schools, employers in the field you wish to work in

ect ect. So i been doing this. Decided that I will try to

get an IT degree. Be it associates or comp sci/IT BA.

I have an unrelated BA but need to do something else. The

university told me i could get the BA in a little over 2 years

as i already have the Gen eds and electives

done. They were also saying that the IT degree

requires a few math classes including calculus. Can anybody

who works as an IT please tell me if they ever had

to bust out some calc on the job or if they ever see it

happening?

should be an .iso file you just right click on and open with your cd burning program. burn it to a cd at a lower speed, pop it in your laptops drive and reboot. follow the onscreen instructions. you should have numerous choices for what kind of install you want. one with ie, wmp, etc. one without. a few more with some different options.

 

you want the one with driverpacks (no matter if you install IE and WMP with the pack. you can always use mozilla and VLC media player instead.

 

 

let us know. someone will be around to answer questions. or pm me.

 

 

 

 

 

so, i'm beta testing firefox 3.5 now. rc 2 just came out, so i'm playing around with it.talk about some neat shit. this browser kicks ass.
