    Windows 7 beta

    in Tech and Computers

    Posted

    I got the beta and LOVE it. I have tried Vista and couldn't stand it, but all the things that annoyed me about Vista are fixed in Windows 7 (unless Microsoft screw it up, don't rule it out :lol: ) It also runs very fast on my computer.

     

    And ya, you need to download it via Internet Explorer. Mozilla won't work :wall:

    IP addresses and their effects in runescape

    Errdoth, if you don't believe what I'm saying then you're more than welcome to try it out using the method I described above but again that is not the point. Please don't post to tell me I'm wrong because you haven't tested it yourself and your post is not answering my question. From now onwards, please do not post if you disagree with what I'm saying because I don't care about people's opinions on whether what I'm saying is truth or not. If, however you can think of a reason why IP would affect who's click is successful then I would dearly love to hear it :)

     

    There is no damned reason. Someone else has a faster connection to the server than you or they clicked before you, that's all there is to it.

    I have to second that, It's all about latency and this is one of the lamest discussions (Subject) I've ever seen on Tip.it.

     

    I third that...And any "proof" or "evidence" isn't reliable. How do you know that the other people aren't clicking after you and/or have a slower internet.

     

    Please don't get angry when people come and tell you that your theory is incorrect when they know more about the subject.

    Easy way to update music to Xbox 360?

    You can use a thumb drive, but it will need to stay plugged into your Xbox the whole time. For some reason or another, you can't transfer songs from anything connected via USB. Alternatively, you could just plug in your iPod, you can't transfer, but it is likely all the songs you want will already be on there.

     

    Probably a legality issue with pirated music. And imo it's better to use USB than stream. Streaming can add a little lag to your connection, which is fine unless your playing on XBL :mrgreen:

    5 buttons (including scroll), 1800 dpi and a software that comes with it that you can use to customize your sensitivity.

     

     

     

    Razer deathadder, should be about 40-45? worth it if you ask me.

     

     

     

    My Razer Diamondback lasted about 6 months of heavy use (WoW lol). I wouldn't recommend them unless their quality has improved, which it very well might have.

     

    Hm, interesting.

     

    A friend has a Razer (dunno which model) for her mac, which she's used a couple of years... And she plays UT, D2 etc... Haven't heard of a breakdown.

     

     

     

    Anyways, i have a Saitek... Good options for the low price (tho my model isn't produced anymore).

     

    I quite possibly just had one with a defect.

     

     

     

    And I also recommend Saitek, never had any issues with their products. Had one of their keyboards till a glass of water trashed it(it was probably ~3 glass of water it had taken) :wall:

    Edit: In Internet Explorer, go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab>Scroll down till you see Java (Sun), make sure there is a checkmark for Use JRE x.x.x_xx for (requires restart)> click apply, then ok>Try runescape

     

     

     

    Using the above I was able to recreate the error you were getting in Internet Explorer with it saying Java not installed, and rechecking it fixed it. That was done under XP though so the process might be slightly different for Vista (sorry don't have access to a Vista computer)

    You might try installing another browser and see if it works. If that doesn't work, I would try a complete reinstall of Java (completely removing every trace of it), several tutorials on google. Simply search "completely uninstalling java vista" or something like that. And make sure the tutorial you choose to follow is for Vista.

    Did you attempt to use Windows Defender? And the second link I posted was a little tutorial so you can familiarize yourself with basic Windows Registry usage.

     

     

     

    ~And thrash-boy, that is basically the same tutorial as laura posted above. The link to their software download is a free version that only detects spyware/malware, but won't remove it (sure does you a lot of good #-o tells you it's there but does nothing about it,advertising at its best)

     

     

     

    Here's some links to free programs you might try to get rid of your problem

     

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender

     

    http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2008/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?tag=mncol Adaware 2008

     

    http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-amp-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html?tag=mncol Spybot S&D

     

     

     

    I HAVE the administrator account for the program

     

    Do you mean just Iambigbrother or the Windows Admin? I think Sloter was referring to the admin account for Windows(might be wrong, mind reading isn't my forte)

    So i have a lot of time to change my plan lol

     

    Yeah don't set anything in stone quite yet. The computer industry can change a TON in 5 months (Such as I built this computer a couple months before Core 2 Duos were released, all my parts were rendered obsolete :wall: )

    First off, can't you ask your mom to uninstall it? And don't purchase a $30 program to get rid of one thing when there are many many free alternatives such as Lavasoft's Adaware, AVG antivirus, or Spybot S&D

     

     

     

    As laura posted http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-iambigbrother.html should tell you how to manually get rid of it. It also states under "Other programs to remove IamBigBrother:" that Windows Defender(it provides a direct link to the download) will remove it for you.

     

     

     

    If you want to remove it manually, follow the instructions for what files and registry entries to delete on the link above^^. And follow this guide http://www.2-spyware.com/news/post226.html for learning registry basics. Just remember to backup the registry, double check the names of the entries before changing them, and always always always know what EXACTLY the entry is you are looking for (don't "surf" the registry, bad stuff can happen with the press of a key)

     

     

     

    Play it safe and you can get your computer free =D>

    But i dunno about your post, it seems a bit weird that you'd need to ask about psu when you also mention overclocking, watercooling and a 1200eu cpu.

     

    Ya sounds like this is your first build (correct me if I'm wrong)

     

    Overclocking and watercooling is definitely not for the beginner computer geek or the faint of heart ::' And is it really necessary to overclock an i7 extreme when it will already eat anything your throw at it and ask for more?
