Cool. I found a racing game called Racer that I'm downloading now.

You can backup the settings by opening Regedit and exporting the following to a .reg file: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner

It ain't no ZoneAlarm, it ain't no ZoneAlarm, it ain't no ZoneAlarm! Had to repeat that three times! The configuration was a bit weird, e.g.; my proxy filtering software is CookieCop and it flat out would'nt work until I figured out that the firewall needed to know what the parent application was which was explorer.exe, talk about damned confusing to begin with. Although it passes GRC.com ShieldsUp! as TruStealth I personally don't like the configuration or terminology in that firewall, it only lasted 30 mins on my PC. And the uninstaller is downright sloppy, might as well not even include one, it left a .msi installer behind and so many leftovers in the registry that I just restored the registry with a ERUNT backup. I'm so fed up with software-based firewalls I may just end up buying a hardware one sometime next year.

Look in: C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth I'm not even about to say anymore about it, other than if you start playing around make sure you create a backup of the whole folder beforehand just in case you mess up.

Interesting and a most helpful post. I'm glad I didn't like the feel of Outpost Free since I didn't know it was untested and not really developed for WinXP.

You could try uninstalling CCleaner, and then immediately restart Windows. Then reinstall CCleaner and see if it works, you may want to reboot after the reinstall as well. If may be because your installation of the VB6 Runtime files is messed up, you could always reinstall VB6 Runtime.

After installing the Microsoft VB6 Runtime restart your computer, do the same after you install CCleaner. For some reason even on XP machines a reboot is still needed in order for some installations to start working.

Nah he's just excited because you included him in the thank you! Thanks for mentioning me as well.

It's just like some other system created folders, you can delete them as often as you want and they'll reappear. I went through the creation of the My Pictures folder in My Documents I don't know how many times on my Win98 system after I updated to IE6.

Computers in cars can be re-programmed, tuners call it flashing the ECU. Many cars like some Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, etc., are speed limited to 155 mph and some of those cars are capable of going past the 180 mph mark. That Bugatti although interestingly ugly and insanely fast is like many 200 mph plus super cars which can still get the stuffings kicked out of them if someone has the time, money, and proper parts to convert either a Corvette or Mustang into a real monster.

When people get into accidents one of the first things Police do nowadays is study the computer data (black box) from the car to determine who was at fault. It's one of those things that was originally supposed to help the auto manufacturers improve upon safety and has in turn allowed Police to reconstruct accidents which can get people imprisoned based upon that data.

That info is at the bottom of the main page. I'm downloading it right now!

Sounds nice, however I think an easier solution would be to go Saturn's route and use dent resistant plastic body panels.

If you're using Windows XP this months release of Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool will automatically deal with the Sony XCP Rootkit. Microsoft AntiSpyware 1.0.701 already deals with it!

Well I'm wondering if there isn't some form of unknown exploit or malware going around. The reason I say that is because there's an irsetup.exe file that constantly appears in my C:\Temp folder. I got information about it at http://www.wilderssecurity.com/archive/index.php/t-9848.html. It supposedly isn't infected as eTrust EZ Antivirus, Ewido, ClamWin, Trojan Remover, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, MSAS, and Jotti Online Malware Scanner don't detect anything. HijackThis and Sysinternals RootkitRevealer & Autoruns don't show anything either. File info: C:\Temp\irsetup.exe = SUF60Runtime by Indigo Rose Corp (http://www.indigorose.com), or possible trojan horse according to this Symantec report.

I actually think the case looks a bit bland and usual, perhaps the beige/white would look better as black or a very dark grey.

It had all the features I liked in a software-based firewall, it was compatible with Win98 and above, an it probably had the best logging feature. However when reported bugs went unfixed I stopped using it, and at that time I absolutely cringed at the thought of installing ZoneAlarm. For many people the last and final SPF version 5.6 wouldn't even install, and if it did it could immediately crash when started. The older 5.5 version is alright but obviously buggy but it at least will install and works without crashing, and I have it archived on a couple of CD-R's. But as I've said dozens of times it has the ability to block legit websites and has the nasty habit of not letting some programs use their internal update component. Too bad it wasn't open-source because it really could have been the best software-based firewall if a community of people maintained it and helped eliminate bugs.

ZoneAlarm, although it's buggy, and although I'm back and forth between it and WinXP's firewall I do still recommend ZoneAlarm 5.5.094.000 for Win98 and above since it adds protection where none is present via the OS.

It was obvious from what you blatantly posted. You've come to the wrong place to ask such a question about circumventing Windows, it just isn't going to happen here. Whatsmore giving information about how to circumvent Windows, DRM'd music, or any software, etc., can get site/forum owners into serious legal trouble that costs them loads of money if a publisher feels as if they were damaged. Good luck elsewhere!

Good riddens to a buggy ass firewall.

The system requirements are listed here. The 550 MB required disk space alone makes me say forget it and I wonder how much stuff it will install. According to what I read a while back when it's no longer in the beta testing phase it will become commercial software that's subscription based. In short it won't be free for long.

Ahh, this is interesting from the article it may answer the question about speed.

Sounds very interesting and it will probably be rather expensive if/when commercially released to consumers. I'm wondering how much just one disc would cost. The thing that would be most interesting is being able to fit a whole music collection on one or a few discs, and imagine being able to fit a whole series spanning multiple years on one disc, that would be amazing. Right! Hopefully when it's released they'll be recordable at a higher speed. With current drive speeds DVDs do take forever to burn. Just don't make the mistake I did and accidentally buy 2.4x speed DVDs.

RecordNow! Deluxe Dell Edition v6.5.0, it's old but works like a charm and has file verification however it doesn't full erase discs which is why I still use burnatonce only for the task of full erasing discs.
