I used to use Zone Alarm, but after a while it forgot ALL of it's settings and refused to remember them ever again. Unistalled, and I just sit behind my Linksys router/firewall now.

I've recently switched to Opera for the tabbed browsing capability. I hate all those IE items on the taskbar :/ I've really gotten used to using Ad-Shield to block banners/ads & servers at will, is there a way I can do that with Opera? Loading banners etc. is making it slower than IE +...

:D That anime is just to wierd not to be cool... Oh, and what gave me away? Was it the Lain reference or the subtley anime-themed sig pic? ;P Anyways... A ping to the computer name fails. A ping to the computer's IP address succeeds. I can tell it's getting an IP address by looking...

I only included what was going wrong, since everything else works... LAN games, internet access, etc. Plus, I didn't think they had any effect on this particular feature of windows networking.... In other words, try to avoid writing an essay on the subject. Router: Linksys...

OS: Win XP I have 4 computers connected via a peer-to-peer network at home. Two XP and one '98 computers are happily sharing files, and are visible in the network neighborhoud/workgroup view. The last computer simply doesn't do it. It is set up corretly as far as I know (the setup in...

Uninstalled PGP8 and the menus are back to normal now. very strange. sorry about the post. but u never know. joe bloggs might come along and fnid it handy when faced with the same problems. ps. F*&K PGP8 up its arse

Windows XP Sp1 (all updates) is my current OS 123GB (files) 40GB (main) 20GB (linux) 256DDR PC2100 AlthonXP 2Ghtz(1.67) when i right click a file the system crashes. basically i thought that this would be something that i installed recently. i uninstalled the newest programs that...

I think it says "loading." *closes* There's the patience of your average visitor :rolleyes:

Surely this is a security feature?

Yowch, that's a stinker lol Try asking in the programming section too, I'm guessing you'd need a language such as Visual Basic 6 or higher, or C++ to do that. I don't know of any "web" languages that can do it, but then again I don't really "know" any web languages :p

Isn't it 69-CHANGE-NOW? :p *Ponders the morality of picking on AOL users*

There should be an option like "Silent boot" in the BIOS. That's how I disabled the damn TINY logo on my laptop.

Yeesh, You broadband kids. The majority of internet users connect via dial-up ya know :p Ah well. That is why I have adshield... *blocks a stupid 800KB avatar on another forum* HAH!

That's pretty good as sigs go Geffy :D And bleh, Mozilla. People could also use Adshield if they didn't want to switch browsers... heh, am I taking this too seriously? ^_^*

OK, like many UK 56K-ers I'm on ntlworld 'cos it's cheap. Annoyingly, it has the 2-hour cut off. This usually just results in a quiet curse and a click of "re-dial", but recently it's caused XP to fail to access internet resources after re-dialling. Not ONE BIT of data will be transferred no...

Well I could change it so that I don't need a prefix at all, so nyah! :P erm, anyway... back to something resemlbing intellectual debate: People are complaining that IE tries to compensate for coding errors. Excuse me, but it that such a bad thing? Programmers are human. Humans make...

I'm assuming that mozilla sticks the tabs inside it's own window rather than using the main windows taskbar? I can see that as an advantage since I'm limited to 1024x769 resolution (TFT laptop screen), and programs like Visual Studio and Dreamweaver, not to mention IM windows (AIM, MSN, ICQ...

Yes, it would be nice if those options were available on install, particularly tabbed browsing. It's quite unlikely that MS will officially support freeware like ad-shield though. Ad-shield is the only extra I have installed, and it was painless in the extreme to install and get used to, so I...

The two issues I want to answer here are the tabbed browsing and ad-blocking absent in IE...... which can easily fixed by installing an addon for each problem. I love Adshield. Maximum effect, minimum effort. Perfection in programming? The only ad I don't block is the crucial one on...

Hehe, sometimes I just don't bother to make my words sound nice, just go for brutally honest. In short, my point was that if your site doesn't look nice, no-one will bother looking at it for more than a few seconds.
