received a free hp cpu last week, person who gave it to me said it had the blue
screen of death and never messed with it again.

i plugged it up and it was a tiny bit slow but ran fine after the initial boot up. i
did all the updates(it needed aloooot) and all seems well. i still went through
and deleted all programs that i wont use or if it looked odd. after cleaning out the
programs and running Ccleaner it seems to work just fine, and it's pretty quick too.
just ran a malwarebytes full scan on it now and it didn't find anything. i deleted the
norton antivirus completely because 1) it was not current 2) i like to run a different
antivirus, and i will put it on before i put it online.

where are some other places i can look for shit that needs to be wiped out? i don't really want to do a full hard drive wipe if i dont have to...

here are some quick specs:
500gb hard drive
intel core 2 duo processor
5gb of memory
home vista premium

not bad for a free cpu, but since i am on the computer/internet at work all day
i dont even have a comp/net at home. for now i am just going to use it to store
all my shit i have put on my work computer and if i get some internets at my apt
i will have a pretty decent cpu

What is your setup running? xp/vista/win7?

Do you know how much space is being used currently?
I think around 60GB should be average anything over 100GB you might have to dig deeper.
Start there, maybe its pretty clean as is.

Also, if you type "msconfig" in the command prompt you will go to "Sytem Configuration." Open the tab Startup and disable anything you find fishy or dont need. This might make your startup slightly faster depending on what you disable.

Does anyone here have any knowledge on unlocking/rooting phones? My sister gave me her Motorola Droid 2 Global (verizon) and I have T-Mobile. The D2 global is both a GSM and CDMA phone, so I know it will work, however reading some of the droid forums, it seems that techy languages they use are about 14 nerd levels above my understanding.

cant help with andriod unlocking but the above link looks pretty easy to follow.

looks like you need to do 2 unlocks to get it to work on Tmoblie and even then you are restricted to 2g edge data speeds and not 3g/4g that Verizon offers

Must spread rep.. I'll get you props when I'm able to.

That is the same forum I found as well. I'm used to 2g with my jailbroken iphone. My main concern is bricking the phone.. and from what I gather from another forum, it very well could happen.

In VLC you can adjust the audio sync in the extended settings panel. It takes some trial and error but usually it works after a few attempts.

If you don't have VLC (and you should) it's over here.

any decent driver download sites out there?
lexmark's site fucking sucks, i need a driver for windows 7 64bit Lexmark x5410.... cant find a real one anywhere.

[_:MemphisOrDie:_]

http://support.lexmark.com/index?loc...mpage=nul l#2

If that link doesn't work just search support.Lexmark.com for your printer. Doesn't look like they have a win7 driver but the xp64 driver will probably work.

I use devid.info for hard to find drivers....... just gotta copy and paste the hardware id.

anybody got a free mac cleaner/program uninstaller recommendation???

[LUGR]

You could try CCleaner for Mac.

It is still beta for Mac but if it is anything like the PC version than it should be what you are looking for. Look around, you can probably find some other programs here.

What's the best free video editing software for windows xp that supports .mov files and doesn't lose quality?

[xen]

I am about to embark on a serious archive project in, I guess you'd say, a knee jerk reaction to megaupload being taken down. I have made 4.5 TB of physical backup of my files(external hard drives stacked in a closet. No RAID or anything remotely sophisticated) but would like a suggestion of where to store it online at a reasonable cost for the long haul. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in 3 years. Seedbox? Cloud? Burn to DVD? Suggestions?

I have been on this for a while but am now interested in redundancy. - computerilliterateoner

Why is it that every time I take a video on my camera, when I load it to my computer it doesn't play and says the size is 0 bytes?

cPfPc any good?

[FREIGHTYONE]

I'm looking to do a small zine, mostly photos. Anyone recommend software to help with the layout? Free is a plus, not so free ok too.

[publicenemyno.3]

if you are familar with torrenting, i'd download adobe cs4 or just inDesign specifically. you can also get the free trial from their website for 30 days if you just need it for short term use.

[el_pikudo2]

i just got a iMac and i am new to this...
can i use a copy of cs3 that i used on my old pc and be able to download it on the mac??

[publicenemyno.3]

the applications are different. you'll need cs for mac. not sure about adobe's policy on license transfer, maybe call them and ask if they'll give you a mac version of the product if they can verify that you have a valid license of the pc version. i work indirectly for a large software manufacturer and they do allow for license transfers between two of the same computer but not for pc to mac or vice versa.
