Trouble with Window media player?
Get the k-lite codec pack and Windows Media player will play anything you want.

The iPad
Didn't someone else release the same thing? Plus with Windows 7 there's multitouch by default provided you have a compatible screen.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
Actually, the chances of getting viruses nowadays are pretty slim. If you have an up to date computer with an up to date antivirus and anti-spyware, then you're good. There's even more protection if you're behind a router. Today almost every virus that someone gets is by user-error, and even more on Vista and Windows 7 where you get not one bot two warnings when you or someone is installing a program. Actually, no. If you don't got to dodgy websites, there are no chances of getting a virus other than bad advertisements, which are rare to find on the usual websites we all go. Even then, you're going to have the UAC pop-up if something is trying to install. Windows XP is much less secure than Vista and 7 on the viruses side.

Calling in all IT/Network Help!
Then trying another browser isn't necessary if those browser do the same thing on your brother's computer. That eliminates the possibility of a bug in Safari.

Calling in all IT/Network Help!
Try Firefox or Chrome to see if it gives a different result? Seeing as you get the page, you normally should also have access to the css, but that depends on which Jagex server the css is as well if the game is blocked but not the front page.

Yeah and with 32bit it will be more performant, seeing the amount of RAM you have.

Why is this tolerated?
Probably because of the igloo idea and all those stereotypes too, I remember when my father told me that he met some americans at the military base (as that's where he worked, and a Canadian military base, as we live in Canada), and that they were stumped that we had buildings, I mean, my father laughed his [wagon] out for a long time because of that.

Windows 7 downgrading to xp
I can use it on my Windows 7 Pro that I bought for the laptop, so it's not just ultimate.

Playing RuneScape on Firefox 3.6 now has Scroll Bars
Lol I'm still on the old Firefox 3, but they already released the 3.6? I hope it's not too unstable, reason I didn't upgrade to 3.5. I also think it's better sending this information to Mozilla rather than Jagex since 3.6 just got out.

Avast!
Nowadays anything is better than AVG, I don't know what the developpers have made with AVG to make it so bad. My personnal thought is that Avast isn't one of the best either as it seems to have a high amount of false positives, but whatever suits you :).

Graphics Cards
Lol, that computer shop ripped you off, 9100 is better than the 5200... I didn't know there were computer shops that still had such low performance and old cards. Hope you never returned to that shop.

Why is this tolerated?
Americans are the only people to insult you for small things like not speaking english, and it's happened to me a lot of times. No, I know it's not all of them, but I've not seen anyone from anywhere else do something like that.

WoL General Discussion
Serephurus, I'm unable to add you unfortunately, but I will try again tomorrow. As for the alliance I don't have the resources needed, I just started playing tonight. Anyway I'm using the same account as RS so my name is Sbrideau2000 in there.

WoL General Discussion
Heh, I'd like to be in there too. And now I guess I know why it's not in Java, I thought that Jagex made it, but I,ve seen earlier they just published the game.

Browser Plus?
Yes it's from Yahoo: http://browserplus.yahoo.com/

Alternate/back-up wireless network?
There might be a way, but all I know is Windows 7 changes networks (provided you have the keys) and the downtime is less than 10 seconds.

Malware Defense - Can't get rid of it!
Who cares what company it comes from, when the product is good, I stick with it. And I never said MSE was THE best, but it is one of the top ones.

Malware Defense - Can't get rid of it!
I do know that, that's why I actually try the antiviruses before suggesting one. I have 2 computers and they have different antiviruses. Problem is, here, that Avast has a [cabbage]load of false positives, too many for my liking and most people will think they really are viruses, and as for AVG, I've actually changed it to MSE or Avira on a few computers that had AVG and they both found over 100 viruses that AVG didn't pick up. Oh and your last link is to a website that has a poor reputation according to WoT.

Malware Defense - Can't get rid of it!
Dark, AVG is a bad antivirus, and I've only seen the bad about Avast! in the past year, so instead of recommending those 2, you should recommend something like MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) and Avira Antivir. As for the problem at hand here, when I get everything sorted with my desktop, I will have a look on the internet and might copy and paste the information here.

Alternate/back-up wireless network?
OS means operating system, like Windows or Ubuntu. Windows 7 does it I think, well, it did for me.

Dual Layer DVDs
Yeah, I've had a bit of trouble with them, but they seem to have a little bit more qualtity since their new design. Maybe you got a bad batch? The only brand I never had trouble with was Verbatim, but I still went with Memorex because of the quality my laptop's burner is.

Cod4 error
Would be nice to know what graphics card you have, but for now I'm going for the option of not enough RAM.

Dual Layer DVDs
What brand of DVD-DL are you using? From my experience, there are brands that work flawlessly and others that almost every DVD is unusable.
