    Trace complete.

    By the way Swimmer, that's a pretty sweet script you've got there. You made it right?

  2. The problem is most likely not with your browswer, but with spyware. Pop up blockers do not block pop ups that are not associated with a browser (or at least most of em). Your best bet would be to download an antispyware program to search and get rid it of this software. I uses Windows Defender and it works wonders for me. After the original install, you don't really have to do anything else, it does it's thing automatically. Heres the link.

  3. its not your cheap memory the score by how much memory you have, the more the higher, all scores max out at 5.9

    I think ur wrong about that one.. I also have two gigs of RAM, though my memory score is 5.7. And to top that off, its dual channel kingston value ram lol...

    Edit: ... I just noticed in his sig it says he has ddr400, which is pc3200. Mines ddr533, which is pc4300. Possibly the difference in score?...

  4. Use Diskeeper. The built in windows degragmenter is shit compared to it. The home version is 30 bucks after you get finished with the trial. I paid 50 and got the professional version, but the home one will more than do the trick.

  5. Try using PC Inspector to look for the disk. If it does not find any hint of the drive, it's probably a hardware failure. I had the same problem with one of my data drives. During Vista setup, I had to clean up the disk in order to install for some reason. It just so happened the disk I told it to clean was the wrong one lol.. I used PC Inspector and it found all of my files. Hope that helps man.. :smiley:

  6. Yeah I agree with Swimmer, your problem is probably with the 2.4ghz interference. I also had this problem when I was using 2.4ghz wireless to connect my computer in a separate room. Every time the phone rang, my internet would cut off. It's strange though that I have two different brands of phones and only one brand seemed to affect the internet...

  7. Yeah norton is trash. It does nothing but slow down your computer. I had problems with just the antivirus, much less the internet security crap. I have fixed many computers for neighbors/friends/etc and I put AVG and Windows Defender on all of them. They have yet to have a problem with any kind of virus/spyware. I'm running Vista right now and for some reason AVG doesn't work with it, so I'm using Avast, which is equally as good. Norton =  :uglystupid2: ... AVG =  :smitten:

  8. I agree with Junerian.. Vista is a major improvement over XP. It actually runs faster than XP in everything it does. Anyone that says you have to have buy a brand new computer to run Vista are complete retards. If you bought anything other than a "value" computer Vista should run fine. Also, Ultimate is way cool. Has anyone tried DreamScene yet? So bad ass... :grin:

  9. Personally, I prefer Western Digital and Seagate. Although I don't own a Seagate at the moment, I have heard many people complement them on how good they are, although they can be somewhat expensive. I have three drives in my computer, all from WD. One 74 gig raptor SATA for windows, one 120 gig IDE for data, and one 250 gig SATA for data. Personally, I have only had one WD fail on me in my entire life, that being one that was about 5 or 6 years old. In my opinion, WD is the best. However, I will never again in my lifetime buy a Maxtor. They make some of the worst hard drives in existance. Cheap pieces of S#!t, I had two of those things fail on me in two different computers. I have never used a Hitachi so I can't really comment on them. WD FTW!!  :cool:

  10. Yeah, that's what I meant.  And those 10 fans are $1.19 a piece if w/ no shipping if you buy 10 of them, and all the reviews say they're amazing for the price.  How could you go wrong?

    i guess you could have a few extra  :grin: but i thought you were planning on putting all 10 of them in your case, which i doubt would fit without some sort of custom mounting..

  11. the express 200 is faster then the GMA950. The GMA950 is the minimum vista glass will run on.

    Well, that might be true, but the reason I was correcting him was because he said that you needed a "dedicated" video card in order to run aero glass, which is incorrect.
