registry cleaner

[VPT]

Anyone have some registry cleaner software I can use? I could only find free scans not fixs.

[EVILUTION]

What are you trying to fix?

I rarely need to "clean" the registry.

Spy bot search and destroy, windows defender, zone alarm, and a good antivirus program has protected me from everything.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

registry cleaners are a joke, I see them MANY times and they do more damage than good.

I use AVG Pro and Windows Defender and stay on the trusted sites and have never had an issue. Once you start wondering off to those naughty naughty sites, may as well do a full windows reload every month.

[VPT]

I forget what it was for I think it was after a windows instal that they sent me to the registry cleaner.com site thingy for the free scan and a few things came up. But they don't let you fix it. Its just been bothering me a little thats all.


Right now I just use adaware and spybot. I'll have to look into the windows defender thingy.

If anything ever comes up telling you to clean your registry, its some BS spyware. Windows will never tell you to clean the registry, however some other pop-up window may come up that "looks" like windows but its not. This is called internet phishing and is a form of spyware/adware.

[VPT]

The internet is junk!

[EVILUTION]

LMAO

[VPT]

How come no one invented a attack program that attacks back to pop ups and whatnot? Like if some software trys to send you a pop up or spyware you would have a program that would automaticly fire back virus's and pop ups and hardware attack software and whatnot.

just click on start, click on run, type in regedit, and then start deleting everthing you see!!

J/k, don't actually do this.

I've heard saome people talking about using foxfire or something for a internet browser that stops alot of the shit.

using firefox does avoid lots of BS.

[SPSRA]

guy! I've been telling you for like 5 years now to use firefox. You mean to tell me that you haven't yet. jeesh. Just stop looking at all that porn and you shouldn't have much to worry about. :D

[VPT]

I really don't look at a whole lot of porn anymore that there are kids around and all you know. Is that firefox much different than IE? I don't like change.

Oh yah, how do you like that new evo?

[TSi_II]

If you made the switch to IE7, you can make the switch to Firefox.

[VPT]

Do you still use the same email service stuff with firefox?

[SPSRA]

your e-mail should stay intact. By email do you mean Outlook, or outlook express. Or do you use something like Yahoo mail or hot mail. regardless everything should all be the same. Firefox is just a different program that can be used for browsing internet sites. Your email should not be effected in any way shape or form.

Just download it and install it allready, so you can quit your bitchin' :P

HAHA.

People need to learn to accept change, and then adapt!

[SPSRA]

did you install firefox. If so, it should of prompted you to import your favorites. in firefox, favorites is called bookmarks. check there.

F T! I created my own favorites folder and transfered all the "bookmarks" into the favorite folder.

[DSM Girl]

I have a computer question, well it's more of a problem. So about a month ago I got a new Dell laptop. I have it hooked up to a docking station. Anyways, it was working fine and then all of a sudden last week it kept shutting down everytime I go on myspace. I can check my e-mail just fine and I went on another website and it was fine. It only seems to be myspace that is the problem (at least I think). So it's got all this fancy crap on it that told me the Problem event name is bluescreen and the OS version is 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3 and the locale id is 1033 and the files that describe the problem is C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini022608-01.dmp
This language means nothing to me! Does anybody have a clue what the problem might be and how I could fix it? Or could anyone come over and take a look at things? It's really frustrating having spent all this money on this and I can't use it like I would like to.

[TSi_II]

You must be running something that isn't Vista compatable... I don't know how you'd go about finding the actual program that's causing the crash, but there are times you can run certain things in "XP Compatable" mode and it will fix it some of the time. It could be caused by certain driver's for video cards, etc not installed correctly or completely or basically anything of that sort. Someone smarter than me will have to chime in here though.

[TSi_II]

...Or you could have Dizmm put XP on it, I'm just not a fan of Vista.

And another thing, if you can have someone help you get the minidump memory file, someone should be able to help you out with that.

[EVILUTION]

We need more info to decipher the problem.

What browser, service pack, ect.....

BTW Vista is excellent. I've had it for just over a year now. There's an associated learning curve but once familiar with it the OS is MUCH better than XP.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

BTW Vista is excellent. I've had it for just over a year now. There's an associated learning curve but once familiar with it the OS is MUCH better than XP.

I'd have to say it varies from user to user and depending on what programs your using.

Vista is great if you are using current software, and like to learn new things and have an open mind.

[TSi_II]

I guess you're right. I only use the computer for basic stuff, the internet and the internet some more, so I really don't have a use for the newest versions of anything. I had Vista for a while but just didn't have a practical reason for learning everything over again, so I switched back.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I personally run XP. When the SP1 for vista is fully out, i then may switch. Also FYI, the full Vista Service Pack 1 is 640+mb. Should fix lots of stuff!

Where am I suppose to locate the above (browser, service pack, etc) info? I don't really know all that much about computers. I just got the stupid thing for school and e-mail and internet surfing. My old computer was one of those big Dell things and was about 7 years old. I never once had a problem with it and then I try to get more current with technology and it appears technology and I have an issue!

[EVILUTION]

Are you using Internet Explorer or Firefox?

If you are using IE try downloading Firefox and using that for myspace.

[VPT]

LOL @ myspace

[DSM Girl]

What's wrong with myspace? I think it's a great way to keep in contact with people and make new friends. It's just like being on a forum. I'm surprised you don't have a myspace since it's just another thing for people who don't have jobs to monkey around with all day.

[devlish]

i deleted my MySpace acct due to way too much spam. i actually tried to sign back up today to check out some stuff from another forum i'm on... and apparently "kurtcheck@charter.net" is already in use as a valid myspace acct. odd.. hmmm...

myspace is another place to pickup virus, spam, and see fake pictures of people.

I prefer facebook over myspace, however both seem a bit too "high school" and all the stupid application crap everyone does on facebook, fuck.

[EVILUTION]

I purged both of mine. To much drama involved with that shit.

I also don't like people knowing my business.

The only problem I can see is down the road. If you ever plan on getting Vista, 2 GB of RAM will do, but I would suggest more. I'm saying this because I have a feeling that you are wanting a compy to handle games well. Vista is a RAM hog and a half. If you don't ever plan on upgrading to Vista (which I don't think would be the wisest) That system should be able to handle just about any game you throw at it. As far as price goes, I'm clueless.

Well that's my two cents.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

warranty??

[VPT]

1 or 2 year warranty and they have the same system with a vista option but I would much rather have xp.


This is dells xps line of puters mainly for gaming purpose. The next step up would be pretty much the same thing but with dual vid cards but 300 more and is pretty much the best you could get from them.

[EVILUTION]

Sounds like alot of machine! You best be a serious gamer! I prefer to get something middle of the road then upgrade every other year.

[lucky4586]

Windows sucks, try Linux! You will never have any problems with getting viruses and all that other BS. Also Vista is not very secure to use and would not do ANY business over the internet using it. There are alot of bugs in it. It is alot like windows ME and just like windows ME vista i going to be phased out in 2010 at which point windows 7 will be the new OS... maybe even sooner, end of 2009. depends on where you look.

[VPT]

Yes it does seem like a screemer to me but you know I like my UT, rise of nations, guidwars, ect. I absolutely hate having a slow machine when playing games too. I have also been thinking about getting the new FF for my puter instead of the PS this year which has allot of fast moving graphics and is even hard for the PS to keep up with sometimes.

NO!

I have had very very good luck with windows xp on my 5 year old dell and I would never switch. Out of the 5 years I had a problem one time with a virus because I didn't have any virus blocker on and Kurts email sent me a virus which in turn my email stated to send them out. As Frank about that deal, he got one of my virus emails lol. However there was a downloadable fix that took care of it all and I haven't had any trouble since.

[lucky4586]

one time is one too many! I haven't had to turn off my linux server for any reason other then i moved it in the last 3 years and I use it as an ssh server for myself and friends. My laptop that gets all the shit put on it has never had a virus and I have never had any problems with it. I work with Mac, linux and windows on a daily bases and can tell that the windows servers go down way way more then the linux and the windows client pcs go down way more then the Macs. I must say that a normal home user/small business user will most likely not see the amount of problems someone in a larger company will see. That is why i can say that windows sucks. I can go through my tracking software and see 94.2% of the time there are problems with windows.My work does have more Windows pcs then mac and linux but only by a few hundred. That is out of about 1,000 or so computers. Also the all of the pcs that we have gotten with vista "laptops" have had all types of problems with software working right.

[EVILUTION]

Linux has its place but I wouldn't dare put it on the latest and greatest hardware and expect to run the latest and greatest software on it. I'm not even sure Dell would support Linux on their machine. I can't imagine how much fun VPT would have configuring WiFi cards, iPods, high-end graphic settings.

Linux also lacks in pretty much everything that needs printing. From mainstream CAD programs to being compaitble with 99% of corporate America running the lates office suite.

Furthermore linux has a much smaller install base and thus making it even more difficult to troubleshoot issues that do arise. Linux may be free but it is not problem free. If you run standard non bleeding edge software Linux can be very stable once configured and set in motion but its not even close to being plug and play ready for todays power users.

[lucky4586]

LOL dell sells computers towers and laptops and server with Linux. Also if you look at 90% of the highend servers out there they are running linux or unix! There is much much more support for linux then you know about. Please check out CentOS and fedora core. But i never said that linux is free; some is free but not all and way dont you take a walk down to your local tv station or cable provider....guess what they have linux. I know because i have done work on servers for charter. Linux is Ipod compatible but you are right for the graphic part of it, thank god adobe has there shit together and will be releasing a linux reversion of CS3. Oh and where do you think windows came from.... unix ...all bill gates did was buy the software and do one hell of a good job marketing it and making it ok to sell software that should be way cheaper then it is. Im not staying that all os's should be free but there is one reason it needs to be $200+. Next time you over seas you should look at what os people are using because not everywhere is like the US which is addicted to windows. Mac and linux are more mainstream there. There is a treaded starting in the US with more and more people and companies look for a better solution then windows. I can get any one that wants it more info on this topic, and reports that show that windows sales are down and linux and mac are up alot. I will give you that linux is not with out its problems but its problems are on a much small scale and are quick being improved. Mac also has problems but again from my point of view is nothing compared to the problems windows has. If one were to be looking for a computer for every day use and doesnt know much about computers and would need support I would look at apple computers! There is a reason why ecuflash is going to be coming to linux soon and has come to mac already.

[EVILUTION]

For VPT windows is the hot ticket. I still think vista is better performing but because he doesn't like change XP pro is fine.

BTW windows didn't com from unix. Windows was built on DOS which was designed for the Intel 8086 family of microprocessors.

[lucky4586]

Here is the link for dell linux machine which just the fact that they sell and support them is a huge jump for linux. What do you think about the security problems with vista?

and wiki is your friend but the design for DOS came from the unix architecture. But that is nor here nor there and we/I got this way off topic lol. I just wish that more people will start playing with linux and see that it is a great powerful tool.

[EVILUTION]

I'm not ripping on linux .... I support several redhat servers and they are very solid. But for VPT linux is not the best choice. He didn't even like going from IE to Firefox!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

VPT, if you have not ordered your new PC yet, PM me and let me compete with Dell.

[SPSRA]

VPT, you still looking for a monitor. I'm off all day thursday if you want to pick one up. I'm surprised that dell isn't throwing in a free cheap ass lcd with that deal though. It's kinda become a standard with the bigger computer companies these days.

If you went the dell route, would you be buying just some package they put together, or are you custom building through there website or something like that. Now I could be wrong with this but, if you still have a win XP cd from your current compy, couldn't you just use that and save a couple hundred dollars by not ordering an Operating System.

Also, just curious, what are the specs on your current pc and what do you plan on doing with it if you get a new one.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

The CD will install windows, but you will be prompt for a CD-Key. If you have a Key, then yes, order it without the OS. Beware, some new compy's dont support winXP. Ran into this a few times, some do not offer drivers for winXP so you may be stuck with vista. just an FYI...

[devlish]

i just ordered a new computer this week... FROM DIZMM!!! not even sure what i'm getting, i just told him to beef it up. i trust him. he knows what i'm using it for. so it's all good.

[lucky4586]

what companies have you ran it to that dont have driver for XP? I haven't had problems with this yet but would like to know just so i know.

[SPSRA]

Here's my take on the "buying a new computer" situation. If you want a computer to do just all the standard stuff, like wasting time on forums, emails, writing papers for school, etc..., then getting one from a big box store is the way to go.

If you want your computer to be what you want it to be, meaning that you have certain requirements, going to a local compy store is probably going to be the way to go. It will probably cost more (not ripping on you in any way DIZZM), but you will end up with want you really want. About 5 years ago I went to Millwaukee PC and told them all the specs that I wanted and that's how the built it for me. It was mostly for gaming at the time. I ended up with exactly what I wanted. Last year I bought a Lappy from Best Buy. This computer was more suitable for my school work, which didn't require anything fancy as far as computers go, but it came with a lot of junk installed on it, and it took me the better part of a day just to get rid of it. Also it was cheaper, but it sucks if I want to do anything on it that is demanding, like games.

This being said, I would most likely mean that you VPT might have to do some research on your own. Or the nice thing about going to a place like DIZMM's is that they can help you out with that kind of stuff. And if you have problems, they are going to be more likely to get the right help. A big box store is going to be a pain in the ass, or costly if you run into problems with a compy that you bought from them. That and most of the people employed at Best Buy type places are usally a bunch of high school stupid idiots that care more about their rank in World of Warcraft than knowing how to fix a compy.

Wow, that's probably the most I have ever typed on this stupid forum. I need to go have a smoke now. :lol:

I went threw the build thingy on dells website for the puter. It didn't come with a monitor and the monitors they offer seem to be quite pricey so I said hell with it. I have a xp home disc and key from my dell but I could not order the dell without a system so.

My current puter is a P4 1.40 GHz 384 ram with a radeon 9000 vid card. It will be my internet browser puter when I get a new one.

[VPT]

VPT, if you have not ordered your new PC yet, PM me and let me compete with Dell.


I will be talking with you again. I am just seeing what kind of hardware stuff is out there right now and whatnot.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

This may sound crazy but I can beat any Desktop price you get from Dell or whomever. As long as you match apples to apples and don’t make me compare our intel systems to a cheap AMD system or something. People forget to look at quality instead of speed.

Would you like to buy a super fast car with 40psi of boost using little pencil rods or would you buy the same 40psi boosted car using some nice scat rods and pay that little extra. Sometimes you need to look at what is inside rather than just the bolt ons.

As for vista PC's not supporting XP, I believe it was Sony that was selling notebooks that do not have any WinXP drivers or support.

[lucky4586]

Really I am shocked that they would do that but I do believe that you could use the vista drivers as long as its 32bit with 32 bit and 62 with 64. I know we used alot of the xp driver on vista before the vista drivers we available. And you could always take the core driver file in install it the manually way for some stuff. What is your out look on AMD cpus? I for one have had nothing but great luck with them and there is a very good price point for them. Intel on the other hand I have have issues with the motherboards and chipsets but that was a few years ago and haven't had problems with my intel laptop that is newer.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I have nothing against AMD really, but for warranty support we prefer Intel. Example: Customer comes in with their PC, bad motherboard, we notify Intel, they overnight-air us a BRAN NEW motherboard at their expense, and then we send the old board back with a return label that they provide after the customer is all taken car of.

I think the system I quoted you will be more than enough for gaming. Depending on the games you play, you maybe want to look into a nicer monitor, mouse, keyboard, headphones and some of those other accessories.

Slightlly off topic, but my 2nd AC adapter just quit working for my laptop this morning. Does anybody have a cheap universal type, or should i make another attempt to get a dell one. Its been 2 years since I bought the computer, the laptop works great, but the power adapter sucks ass.

Yeah. I know the lcd ones are slow for game play and I don't want something completely huge. Actually I don't mind the 16-17" dell I have. If anything I would just want maybe a 20-22" tube type screen like I have now.

I would however maybe be interested in a wireless system and run a cable to the tv upstairs.

I run wireless and I'm a low ping bastard. I really see no difference between wired and wireless response times.

I suppose you cold shave some ms off by directly connecting to the cable modem but if you have a router it doesn't cost you anything.

I hear the big time gamers dread wireless anything (mice, keyboards, 802.11, ect...)

[EVILUTION]

Could be... maybe the eliminate the router.... one less hop would definitely save a few ms. I'm not that serious. I'll play with triple digit pings if need be.

Here is another question. You delete the tracking cookies, past history and whatnot, but there is still some kind of tracking shit for emails and whatnot. How do you get rid of (or find) that stuff without reinstalling windows?

[VPT]

Outlook express. I have had this problem a couple times in the past and the only way I got rid of it was a reinstall.

You know how you get some junk emails every day. Well after looking at a few porn sites that number goes up fast! Well I always clean out my cookies and run spybot and adaware and whatnot but that doesn't help with the junk emails.

After a windows reinstall all of the junk emailing stops untill the woman won't put out for awhile again. So I know there has to be some sort of other tracking stuff for outlook or something. I have looked all threw outlooks options and tools and whatnot and found a couple things that may have helped a little but nothing that is a definite "oh there the fuckers are" deal like tracking cookies or internet history.

Your "junk email" really has nothing to do with the computer. They get your email address and thats all they need.

I would say yes, but why do the junk emails stop after a reinstall?
