I have never heard of this problem before but I have a solution: Dont use IE. Use Opera. It's faster, it has more features, and its a hell of a lot more secure than IE, Firefox, and many other browsers. And im not lying, really. Faster: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html - on a windows machine, Opera is faster than everything. On a Linux machine, Konqueror is faster to startup, but Opera does many other things faster, and on a Mac OSX machine, Safari and iCab are faster for various things, but Opera is faster for more. Has more features: Just downloading and installing it, there are a wealth of features available. Email, IRC, Content Blocking, and some more advanced features, too, like spoofing the HTTP user agent, and reload from cache, but there are many, many more. More secure: IE: http://secunia.com/product/11/ - rated highly critical for security vulnerabilities. Firefox: http://secunia.com/product/4227/ - rated less critical, but still has some unpatched. Opera 9: http://secunia.com/product/4932/ ) you can see there are fewer security holes Opera also has a better rendering engine, as this page will demonstrate, which uses simple HTML resizing on a simple image: http://www.tempusvortex.com/testing/index.htm . In firefox, that image looks like a black background with a few dots, the whole thing making no sense at all. In Opera, the important message is revealed. Well there you go. I hope I have convinced you enough to get Opera.

Making a runescape cheating program like a macroer or whatever in C would be HARD. Delphi is common. I know someone who used to help make these programs. But anyway. Learning VB was a bad idea. Never start programming in VB, ever. Its ok to learn VB after learning something else, but not as a first language. But I spose its a bit late now. And dont use Visual C either. Microsoft languages suck loads, and they're Microsoft only, so they wont work on any platform. For newbies, Python or Perl are good. After that, C is good, and after that, Java. I found java horribly complicated even with a simple Hello World program. I would personally recommend you learn Perl, then C or C++. C is more powerful, but C++ is easier (only marginally, though). PHP is good as a first language. Its not technically a programming language, but it has a nice C-like Syntax that will get you used to good programming. VB is not a nice language. Its completely different to everything else, and therefore moving to another language is different. Here's a few code examples to show you some of the Syntaxes of two of the langauges i have mentioned. This is the 99 bottles of beer on the wall program. It outputs the entire 99 bottles of beer on the wall song, all the way from 99 to 0. I did study python for a while, but I forgot half of it :S (For those who know what you're talking about, yes, i know i could use for loops, but i hate them. I prefer do-while loops.) PHP <?php $bottles = 99; while (bottles > 0) { echo $bottles . ' bottles of beer on the wall, ' . $bottles . ' of beer. Take one down, pass it around, '; $bottles -= 1; echo $bottles . ' of beer on the wall. '; } echo 'No more bottles of beer on the wall!'; ?> C++ #include void main(void) { int bottles = 99; do { cout << bottles << ' bottles of beer on the wall, ' << bottles << ' bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it round, '; bottles -= 1; cout << bottles << ' of beer on the wall.\n'; } while (bottles > 0); cout << 'No more bottles of beer on the wall!'; return 0; } Python #!/usr/bin/python bottles = int(99) while bottles > 99: print str(bottles) + ' bottles of beer on the wall, ' + str(bottles) + ' bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around, ' bottles -= 1; print str(bottles) + ' of beer on the wall\n' print 'No more bottles of beer on the wall!' Theres some examples for you. I personally hate the syntax of Python. I do like curly brackets and semicolons rather than tabs and linebreaks, but some people like the syntax. I would recommend that you learn Python first. I imagine you probably like the syntax more just from my example because it does bear some similarities with VB, but also many similarities with C, and it was designed to be easy, too. As well as that, Python can be used for web scripting. Thinkgeek.com's shopping cart uses Python scripting. I hope this helps.

Ive been using Windows Live Messenger and Skype, and the built-in IRC in Opera (because Opera pwns Firefox :P ) Gaim is useful, but I have no need for it really.

I would recommend Programmers Notepad, from here: http://www.pnotepad.org/download/ It has syntax highlighting and stuff. Dreamweaver is good, but you need to know HTML, really. PHP is useful, too. Learn that. But from what is being said, it doesnt really matter what you use, Dreamweaver, notepad, whatever, but you HAVE to learn HTML, and probably CSS, too. PHP would be useful, if you want dynamic content.

Runescape is a Java Applet. Java uses LOADS of processing power and memory - way more than it should really need. Runescape is going to slow your comp. Get used to it.

No. Just dont. If you dont have money, use AVG Free. If you have money, use McAfee Home Edition. If you have lots of money, use McAfee Enterprise Edition, because its absolutely Ownage. (I actually got it because my dad's work has a special license for it.)

There was a company who were offering to do DOS attacks against spammers. Despite being illegal, i think it is a very novel way of stopping the spammers, fight fire with fire, as they say - spamming the spammers, crashing the spammers' servers. Unfortunately the company went out of business. I do get spam every now and again, like the good old "Hello, I am from a Nigerian Bank. Send me money, now, please." I should reply, really, telling them that they are all idiots. But i cant be bothered. The moral of the story is, if you dont want spam, dont let them get your email address.

Clicky here. - Its AVG Free. It does the job, and its free. Its not as good as McAfee or some others, but its still good. If you're going to pay for an antivirus, get McAfee Security Centre. Nothing else is even worth thinking about. Norton Sucks, so does Sophos, and Avast.

Im assuming you're using invisionfree or something along those lines. This site is hosted on its own hosting, not a non-accessible hosting thing. You need some hosting first, rather than having it hosted by someone else. What you'll need to do is learn HTML and CSS and XHTML and PHP if you so wish and make your own website. You'll then need to set up a new forum on your hosting. I wouldnt try it yet, if i were you. For the newer user, some of the things you need to know can be somewhat confusing. Develop your general internet knowledge first.

Im not sure if i know what you mean, but ive seen this: In windows XP: Start -> Control Panel -> Find the mouse settings. Click the pointer options tab. Click "Show location of pointer when i press CTRL key" Click OK. Then, whenever you hit ctrl, some rings will appear around the mouse to show where it is.

I saw the adblock post regarding how to block ads with FireFox, and i was determined to find a way of doing it with Opera, because it is a superiour browser, in my opinion. And i have... Please note there are two different things that must be done for Opera 8.5 and Opera 9 for one section. To find which opera version you have, simply type opera:about in your address bar. For Opera 8.5 and 9 Open your opera profile folder. On a windows XP machine, this will normally be at C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Opera\Opera\Profile Download this file and copy it into the styles folder of your profile folder. Click on the glasses next to the address bar (im assuming you have a default setup here). Click the arrow next to the botton that says author mode, and click Manage modes. For author mode, you need to select Page Style Sheet, Page Fonts And Colours and My Style Sheet. Then click ok. Now click the box next to Ad Blocker Stylesheet, but make sure all the other stylesheets are unchecked. Make sure the mode is still in Author mode. For Opera 8.5 ONLY Close Opera. Now open the file Opera6.ini, which is in the profile folder, and add this code to the end: [Adv User Prefs] URL Filter File=filter.ini Then download this file and copy it into your profile folder. Now open Opera. You're done! Opera 9 ONLY Close Opera. Then download this file. Copy all the contents from that file into urlfilter.ini. Now open Opera. You're done! --- I hope this has been of help to those of you who use Opera. :)

Y2K was six years ago. And it never happened anyway. Where have you been living for the past 6 years? It was all just hype to scare people. Y2K means "Year 2000" anyway, so its gone now. It's a joke, kiddo ;) Yeah, funny joke. :? Anyway, the comp. Its a fair comp, i spose. And at a fair price. Thats all i have to say, really. Its not particularly amazing, but its not rubbish.

Naglfar. They are amazing. And Emperor, too, but im sure they've been mentioned. Theres a free download somewhere on the internet of their song "I Am Vengeance", but i cant find it at the moment.

Bad teaching does cause bad habits, but VB is so different to basically every other language that it can be difficult to learn a new one once you know VB. If you learn PHP, then C much of the syntax and stuff is quite alike, and so the transition is easy. VB may be a simple language, but to move from VB to C will be exceedingly difficult, because they are so different. VB to BASIC wouldnt be too difficult, I guess, but BASIC is rather useless, really. Oll4y, i personally think you should learn PHP first, then either Perl or Python. Python is easier, and brilliant for beginners (it was created to be easy), but Perl is more powerful. If you like programming after that, learn C.
