Mauler5150 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 My modem is still shutting off randomly. I did everything mentioned so far, but the main problem is with my MSN live-messenger. I started Gaim and haven't had any problem yet, so should I just re-install msn again? I only use msn as it allows me to show other eople what music I am listening to at what ever time.

Seffiks Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 computer crash course for PC/Windows Users ok i am going to make a little thing on what you need on yer computer (its time for spring cleaning, meaning time to clean the computer/reinstall the operating system on the reinstall if you do not have a legit version use these use one or the other the list one is a patch that goes in the registry the second one is a patch for the computer BIOS which turns it into a OEM version of windows Make Your Copy of Windows 100% Genuine in 2 Seconds.rar Windows XP BIOS Activator.rar these both let you be legit and download all windows extras like windows defender/windows mediaplayer 11 IE 7.0 and other also including passing the genuine key crap (use at yer own risk) its better to go buy a legit key from microsoft anyway now onto the system go download all the windows updates/including windows service pack 2 and now we start on the software you need to add to the computer to keep it safe and clean (all free) all links are up to date as of today 5/8/2007 first off you will need Firefox Web Browser (there are others out there that are great like opera and others but casek and I recommend firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ you will need a firewall windows firewall sucks all it has more holes in then swiss cheese go and download the top rated firewall Comodo Firewall http://www.comodo.com/ now onto the antivirus program/ go with Avast Antivirus and works well and really easy to use plenty of options http://www.avast.com for the adware/spyware/malware and anyother type of crapware thats out there use the Windows Defender if you can't get the patches i provided above to work then you will not be able to get the extras so you should get a third party tool like Spyware Blaster it is a good anticrap tool http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html ok that was the security part of the post now on to the must have plugins so the computer works without a hitch no need to explain them just download and install them Acrobat Reader Media Codecs Adobe Flash Player Java Quicktime Alternative Realplayer Alternative Adobe Shockwave now to the firefox add-ons these are things that will help you while browsing and make it easier first off Adblock Pro Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them. Adblock Filterlist Updater This is a companion extension to Adblock or Adblock Plus and should be used in conjunction with it. This extension automatically downloads the latest version of Filterset.G every 4-7 days. Filterset.G is an excellent set of filters maintained by G... IE Tab Some websites are just to old and have to changed the web code to support firefox or they are just to stupid to do so well with this tool you just press the the IE Tab and it will create an IE session inside the firefox browser so you will be able to view the webpage without leaving firefox. FasterFox Performance and network tweaks for Firefox.. only use this if youi have a slow connection/because it does break websites its puts to much load on the web servers and makes them crash so if you have decent speed to the internet dont waste the time downloading it . Megaupload SX3.2for those who download things from megaupload use this addon which will allow you to download more then the limit they allow you Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin Play WMP videos inside the firefox browser VideoDownloader Download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion, Pornotube... and other 60+ video sites ! And all embedded objects on a webpage (movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc) !

mindvapors Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 does not matter about download limit it just downloads faster No, doesn't it fetch all possible links on a page and download the pages in advanced? Making it "more faster" because the pages have already been downloaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seffiks Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 here if you want to understand what is going on go here http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/faq.html i have been trying not to get to technical and just giving the information needed for everyone to understand it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindvapors Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Then it does indeed affect a download limit, not just "make it faster". And should I install fasterfox if I am skirting my dl limit every month, as I only want it to download the pages I am going to visit So Mauler, it will prefetch (pre-download) pages linked to a page you're on, as little as the pages may be, it does count as bandwidth, so use your own judgment with that one.

Seffiks Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 it depends on what tweak you use in the program that will affect downloads and servers hits alot of people disable this feature on the websites so people can't use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, is there like a trick to this, like a site with fast proxies that i can add manually or something? This prog keeps picking up slow ones.
