Looks like it's your network card in computer that could be causing this... Could someone confirm if there's chances I'm right?

That is totaly not true :shame: My Vista laptop runs a lot better than my XP desktop. They have the same amount of RAM and comparable processors.

^ Ad Aware is best used in pair with Spybot Seach And Destroy ;).

Either that or a lightscribe burner, which I have and found very nice.

Picture proof? ;) +1. And since when do we need a popular gf?

Hah, I'm seconding this. Also, don't go to bed at 2:00 AM before school/exam.

Hmm, seems to me you're either unable to upload, or something blocks the way. I'd say it's either your Java, your computer or your ISP. Could you try a speedtest when it does that to see if you have something wrong with your computer?

And if you seriously hate them you'd give them Norton and Windows defender? I lol'd, but I think the answer would be yes :P.

There's a free version of Ad-Aware.

Ha, I have a quite good speed for the price I pay :):

Eh, some of the cheaper kind has a slight alcoholly smell. Vodka isn't odourless, I would know... :? Good vodka is,my friend.Unless you're in Soviet Russia,then Vodka does not smell you. Could you name good brands please? The brand I usually drink has a little smell though, but is still pretty good.

Yep, they really are annoying, but since people in my list know I don't forward them, they don't send any to me anymore \ Anyway, I'm glad since the companies/hackers sending spam mail get their adresses from the adress walls you see in those chain letters.

You can try using Firefox or Opera?

Did you update your drivers and JRE, like dracion said? Dang you got a stronger graphics card than what I have :twss:

I don't think there's much else you can do exept sleep, that will give you clearer ideas. A trick not to do this, is to go to the library after classes. It works with me, as I'm a procrastinator as well. If I come home after class to study, I know I won't do it till close to when I'm going to bed, if I do at all, since sometimes I have free periods in the morning/afternoons the day after, and they're not long enough most of the time.

Using 11 stone 6 lb, and 5"11': You're right in the middle of the good zone. Nothing heavy about you whatsoever. The calculator's here if you wanna double check: http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/magazine/in ... index.aspx What's the weight of a stone? Lol I'm messed up since I'm used to metric, but I only know my height and weight in imperial and never heard of stones :wall:

Then why didn't you send it right back saying they didn't repair it accordignly? they should do it for free if it's their fault for not repairing it as it should.

Almost looks like imediate restart after BSOD? Also, the overheating problem may be dust clogging the fan, how old is your laptop and have you got the dust cleared in the past?

That, my friend, is very true.

I'm just going to add that Firefox is not safer than IE. It just has less security holes than IE. As for AV programs, trash already named the major ones, although I don't like AVG seeing as it let a few viruses go an a few of my friend's computers.

Virtual Box is better though, VmWare gave me a few bluescreens in the middle of classes lately :S.

If the guy was stupid enough to take a picture of himself, then he would've been stupid enough to stab the guy.

Not really on topic, but like my A+ teacher said, running Vista with 1GB RAM is choking it. It runs much better at 2GB.

As he said, he tried, but was unable to find them.

What would happen if you did do that? :D
