Sharky2006 every thing looks good, don't worry about the time outs on the trace that is just a firewall that does not allow it to be pinged.
who is your ISP?
they are only generally high maintenance if you don't take care of it. If you dont put stuff in there to keep the water clean, if you don't vacuum it ever week or so, then you will have problems. the stuff you have to do to keep it clean and working correctly are very low maintenance if you just a few things you wont have a problem with it and they are defiantly worth it.
none of the security in NTFS really matters, because it was developed way, way back with old technology. and windows in general is insecure. we were suppose to get past all this and have a good drive format with winFS, but micorosft scraped it so that isnt gonna happen.
well the reason your getting popups is because bitcomment uses internet explorer 6 as the browser and when you go to some of the not so great sites that are listed in there they install things on your computer that you don't want.
I don't recommend installing a pop up blocker because they don't work, the only ones that work are the ones built into the browser.
what kinda popups are u getting? are they just regular popup or are they ones that come up in a little Grey window saying "you have spyware on your system go to this site and remove it"
ok i downloaded it and installed it, ive been playing with it for a few hrs now, and its much better then beta 2, and getting close to firefox and opera.

Was released today, has anyone give it a try yet?
you have the mode set to show a desktop side. try draging a window to the left or right and it will show up on there.
to get it so show what you want you need to change the display mode to "clone"
right now i don't becuase im at work. when i get home i can take a look.
do you have a ATI, INTEL, or Nvidia graphics card?
edit:
good to see you got it working
yes its possable. on most laptops just plugging the s-video in and turning on the laptop will enable it. if it does not then there is a setting for it in the display properties.
