So, what's the issue today? Faulty Hardware? Sure, I'll be happy to have a look for you. I have a diploma in Computing Hardware and can help you with a wide range of common issues in modern home PC's. Please note I am not good on Apple anything. What you will need to do is post in this thread about your issue and it will progress to private messaging. I will not help people that don't help me first. This means you need to post a "error report" describing the issue, provide a image of the issue (if possible, not required) and a screen shot of any error message you may see on any visual display output. Furthermore, please don't demand or complain about delays between you posing the error in this thread and me responding. Also, never mass pm me during the resolving process, I will just ignore you.
So, just post your issue and I will reply and pm you and go from there. As always, DarkPikachu has the final say and can terminate assistance at any time.

I actually agree with this idea ?|•GuM•|? :) though I don't mind solving issues in perhapse separate threads... just so other users with similar issues can look back on these things. ;) PM-ing with ProBoards sucks anyways :P if anyone needs any help with anything WindowsXP (including x64) related, that's what I'm here for. ;) Q: Why XP? A: I refuse to gamble with MS... I like my freedom, and 7/8 (and partially Vista) takes all that away. Q: you do know MS cancelled security updates for XP right? A: yes, MS expects everyone to use MS-based security... they don't even in the least consider 3rd-party security software. most of the updates are security patches for Internet Explorer anyways... here's a few pointers to get you guys started if you're considering moving back to XP: - install some good quality free security software such as Comodo products with Avast :) - set HIPS in Comodo FireWall to paranoid mode (it will notify you of every last instance so you can prevent program intrusions from ANY source) keep in mind XP's UI can be extended to look like how you want it to look, you can even make it look like 7. :) here's a URL for a legit theme patch I've tried myself. (it was slow for me on my old machine) sid-crafty.deviantart.com/art/Windows7-RTM-Aero-theme-for-XP-105582529^the transparency on the taskbar and program title-bars DOES ACTUALLY WORK anyways 7/8 lacks the freedom to do make these types of changes to the UI... other than the option of completely replacing your shell, you're basically stuck with the features MS gives you with little hope of expansion. 7/8 also offers something called Software Control which won't allow you to use anything that's not MS-verified. this feature seems to be lying dormant in both 7 and 8, meaning you can currently install what you like.

XP is already easy to hack :P
however, I'd like to see someone try to break into my compy without my notification. XD
as of right now, I'm only running Comodo FireWall and Avast with Comodo Dragon as my internet browser. (any other browsers including Opera cannot be considered safe) ^ Avast has reported threats in Opera's temp directories
Avast is only good for finding threats (though not every last threat) that get past your security
Dragon comes with built-in malware blocking and uses Gomodo's DNS which blocks threats before they even reach your browser. for the skeptics, I'm a pirate and proud to be one, yet I'm still talking to everyone. :) (Comodo doesn't care about what you do, they care about what hurts you)
to top things off, I'm using a few trusted browser extensions which block harmful content: - Ad-Block Plus - Avast - PrivDog others: - Popup Blocker Pro - World of Trust
both the Avast and WOT extensions mark links you should or shouldn't click WOT marks links based on trust Avast marks links based on safety
also for the skeptics, my computer runs rather well performance-wize initialization is a little slow, but once you get past that, everything runs quite fast. :) (coming from my gaming side)

well, Comodo offers a free software suite that seems to do one heck of a job at protecting your computer. :) I've only been using CFW with Dragon (internet browser based off Chromium) for quite some time now. I also have Avast installed...
I can report my computer is running quite well :)
CFW notifies me if anything tries to run on it's own, Dragon has many installed extensions that block web intrusons, along with it's built-in malware blocker. Avast notifies me if anything just so happens to get through, though it doesn't protect you from every last thing...
I'm thinking about installing CAV to run along-side Avast
I hear alot of good from Kaspersky as well
don't trust AVG though... it's destroyed more than enough compys from what I've seen. :P (I even HAD a Win98 compy where AVG crashed it before you could log in)
Win98 is actually better than XP, but it's too much work to update everything :P
