Just a daft wee thing. I've been keeping them since i started uni, but i'm moving flat for the start of next year and kinda wanted to take them along to the new flat. Just to keep the collection going kinda thing. The problem is, i live in student halls and we get kicked out at the start of summer, so i'm heading back down to edinburgh and wouldn't want to drag them all the way down there and back.

I just went on it now and it didnt take awfully long to load. Not longer than an average "flash" (ugh...) website. I'm assuming it's been optimised since the original complaints. Very pretty. Now you just need a bar to match

Hey there. This may well seem like a really strange request... But has anyone got a wee bit of room in their garage i could store like 70 or so empty cans of irn bru over the summer? I'll box them up n that like... They wont just be lying all over the floor. Any help would be really useful!

Cheers!

Interested, but don't have the money right now. Kindly post when this is sold, just so i know if its worth me asking when i do find the money.

Who needs real life when you have dreams! =D

Corrie's certainly changed since I last saw it.

Equality and all that...

I know it's been mentioned before, but those clipboard cunts who stand outside Markies are really starting to fuck me off. No means no!

One came up to me on Princes St in Edinburgh and I just screamed at the top of my voice and ran til they were out of sight. I found it funny... Everyone else just looked confused...

I'm pretty certain this will already have been said... But people that leave disks out of their boxes! ESPECIALLY people who leave disks lying ON TOP of the box they are meant to go in!!!!

fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu......

In the middle of reading "Blaze" by Steven King. It was written back in Kings early days when he used to write under 2 different names. He released horror novels under the name King, but also released crime novels under some other name which escapes me (I cleverly left the book in the deen and I'm now back in edinburgh for 10 days). Its a pretty good read. Pretty quick too. Very clearly influenced by "Of mice and men" though.

nice one man thanks, better to be safe than sorry ive always found, especially with computers.

Glad i could be of some use =)

x

Quite frankly, anyone thats not a cynic on the internet these days is an idiot...

Thanks for pretty much echoing everything I said.

Yeah i had the reply window open and went downstairs for ages, then came up and replied. Hadn't even noticed you'd posted. Sorry for the unintended plaigarism!

All I'm saying is that if a company can make a program (particularly freeware) that seems to solve a problem thats been going around for years, they will get millions of downloads through word of mouth alone and could end up making a hell of a lot of money off any advertising space they may own. Plus its very hard to proove that they have not done what they said they have.

Unfortunately, I find that, particularly with computers and the internet, if it sounds too good to be true, it very often is.

Edit: I'd give the old one a bash through this link Your Uninstaller 2008 - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

Its 2008, but just means its more likely to have more bugs ironed out and also, i 100% trust Free Software Downloads and Reviews - Download.com

Well, you say that, but you're basing that on absolutely NOTHING at all. So you know...

I'm basing that on the fact that a lot of companies dont like their things being deleted and will put a lot of effort into not letting you delete them... I'm also basing it on the fact that the majority of computer users don't know all that much about computers, so if some miracle program can pop along and make it look like its done a job, the vast majority of people will accept that it has done that job.

But as i said, theres also a good chance that it actually works and I'm just looking into it too much.

It's Ewan, and Your Uninstaller! will clear the registry of any trace of "whateversoftwareyouwantridof"

Might have to give it a bash. Got a few files kickin about on here that have become corrupted at some stage or another and just wont budge. Nothing worth registry wanking, just stuff that takes up a little space and makes my defragments take that extra minute longer.

For removing AVG or really any programs that are leaving behind bits and pieces, just download Your Uninstaller! 2009.

It's the best. It completely removes any remainder of a software program on your computer so you KNOW that it's completely uninstalled. Totally schweet.

Either that or it deletes the part of the software that has any HCI output. Thus it will never turn up on your screen but can still be running bits and bobs and still takes up HDD space.

Then again, I've never used the program. It may well be some lovely new godsend!

x

For me personally, registry wanking is a lot like most sports. Theres a big difference between knowing how to do it and actually being able to do it... I'd love to help, but since i've never actually had to do it on my own PC, i wouldnt feel comfortable doing it on anyone elses... I'me sure theres plenty people on here that know more about it than me anyhoo.

x

Ugh... I'm by no means a wii hater or anything, but i just cannot follow that game with those graphics. Cant focus on anything and i had no idea what was happening most of the time. Fair enough if others like the style, but i just couldn't follow it.

x

Well, I know what is being uninstalled when I get home then!

Cheers for the link, hopefully it will improve my ping for CoD:WaW too.

Prob a better idea to just open your task manager, go into processes and close AVG first, then give COD a bash to see if thats your problem.

maybe someone on here could help me, i used to have norton on the laptop, it came with it unfortunately, i unistalled it and put avg on however somewhere along the line i had to do a system restore due to a problem and now norton shows up on my add remove programmes and i cannot get rid of it, there are still a few folders with files in them i cannot delete either, i also very occasionaly get an error message related to this, is there anyway to finally get rid of that piece of crap programme off my computer?

I'm doing a degree in computer science at the mo so these kinda conversations come up a lot. The end result of which is usually "Norton is like cancer for computers. You never really get rid of it completely"

Real men play FPS on PC.

Agreed

You would need to hack around your registry to get rid of it totally, not a practice you should undertake if you don't know what you are doing.

Agreed

Aye min. I use AVG. I've tried Avast too and its pretty good. For me, AVG is a bit better, if your PC can cope with it.

I would, however, advise against installing them both at the same time. Especially if you are unsure that your PC can handle AVG on its own. Bear in mind, antivirus programs have processes running in the background all the time and running 2 at once will only slow things down even more. On top of that there can be several clashes between the programs if one decides to let something through and the other doesn't etc. All in all, it causes more bother than it's worth.

If you are unsure about what your PC can handle, I would download Avast for a month or two. If it does the job, leave it in place. If not, delete it, then install AVG. If you have a lot of problems with AVG crashing etc, revert back to Avast and make do.

Best advice i can give.

I just remember there being wads of fake computers and mental laser guns.

They should have just left it like that... I, personally, feel that that could make an awesome theme for a nightclub!

Edit: Decided to give you a PM too cos it gives you an email which you might be more likely to check

What is this "sleep" you speak of?

Also, Deenfest aye?
