  1. A real genuine recommendation would be to completely forget about IE by not using it and instead use Firefox, Opera, or some other third-party browser that isn't as exploitable. ;)
    Heh, right you are Andavari.

     

    Come to think of it and strangely enough IE is the most updated browser if the monthly critical security patches for it are taken into consideration. :rolleyes:
    That's about right. Well... besides Opera. They seem to come out with Beta versions every week at BetaNews which by the way their Beta's are VERY* Stabled. Not that Beta's really count but they give a heads up on what's being looked at or what's going to be fixed within the next Release.
  2. Logitech makes good mouses. I have the LX700 or is it... LX300? Anyways, both keyboard and mouse our wireless and work well. I play Halo but the wireless just... don't cut it. I may go to walmart and buy a non-wireless mouse :)

  3. If your just using skins and stuff it shouldn't be a problem. If you using stuff like that brico pack(I think thats the name) then it will make changes to a bunch of system files. I wouldn't use that.

     

    I have a patched uxtheme.dll on one of my computers and I tried a vista theme just to see what it was like. I didn't like it but some might.

    I didn't notice any errors or anything.

    It was actually a Vista Icon package. I still have some of the Vista User Account pictures in account settings. That's about the only I've seen that didn't get changed back. Like all the Folder Icon and such I have fixed. Thx god :rolleyes: And yeah... I have tried those Brico packs and god people really don't know how to create those things. I had so many problems but thx god I created a system restore point back then. Don't think that always works though "Hehe".

    The thing that is driving me bananas with Avast is how to initiate the scan in having to click all those buttons, options, etc., when AVG or AntiVir are much less involved. I also wish it would just scan the damn memory when initiating the scan and not while loading the main GUI. I however was able to make it somewhat less annoying by using the skin MAC Lover OS X which shows a little more on-screen options versus some other skins.
    I know what you mean. I used that skin but I'm using the Vista one currently.

    I've seen some xp mods that look pretty damn close to vista. Sure they aren't going to function like vista but if all they want is the look, then why not go for it?
    Most post I've read from people they ask ME and a couple of other friends. We give them links and they try it. Moments later there computers have errors and such. NEVER try it unless you know what you are doing :) For me I have no clue and I don't even want to try. I just say "Heck, IF I WANT Vista's look, I'll BUY IT".
  6. I've had my AMD Athlon Xp 2000+ 1.67GHZ processor for about 3 years and I'm willing to upgrade to a 2.0 or 2.2GHZ CPU. Only found on Ebay and some websites though ^_^

     

    Have 1GB of RAM so I'll be set for Vista in about a year or two once the prices drop.

  7. That's actually VERY GOOD NEWS. Vista still needs work believe ME when I say that. Good for me though, I can just buy my parts online and have them shipped and I can just build my on computer with xp on it :)

  8. PrtScn button on your keyboard, and paste it in a photo app..like paint :)

     

    Thanx New_Age !

    May I ask something Mr. Brownstone? By how are you changing the Themes in Vista? My knowledge or by Program?
  9. Thx guys for agreeing with me.

     

    I've worked on Vista and I don't like it all to much. The Interface is nice but who cares about that? I mean Windows 2000 is a good enough OS right? Though Xp is still my choice since it's release and after all the work that's been done to it. Vista completely changed things around. Different options and crap within Control Panel. Vista also requires a lot and that is making Schools and business unhappy. Enough said. STAY WITH XP, 2000, or 98SE.

  10. Ok, so I have been playing with Vista, testing out apps, whats working or not, making an image I'm happy with.

    Only good registry manager I have found is Reg Organizer (the latest beta).

    Seems to be running smoother after a good clean and defrag!
