First of all, there's no need to come off like a pompous ass. My wording was just weird, I didn't contradict myself. I can see how my wording would have given that impression, but what you just explained is what I meant. Since the security suite uses NOD32, that it is NOD32, but with other...

lol @ most of that post... the seething sarcasm :D ... ...and have to agree, between all the games released this year (that I played, anyway) Crysis definitely is GOTY, hands-down. Not the greatest of all-time, and could have been better in a few ways with the aliens and it becoming more...

Aside from an obviously major boost in graphics, it seems (from what I've read so far) that they've revamped and added to a good amount to the gameplay mechanics. How the authorities respond, the actions you can take in dealing with certain situations, a more advanced melee combat mechanic and...

Oh, thanks for the links :) ...hadn't found them, even when I searched for WB in the forums. Yeah, I've gotten rather addicted to it over the years, but haven't used it in a while, except for recently when I had to uninstall it to test for some other issues. Think I'll reinstall it though...

Frontlines: Fuel of War (PC) GTA IV (X360) Far Cry 2 (PC) Mercenaries 2: World In Flames (PC - maybe the X360) Burnout: Paradise (X360) Left4Dead (PC - maybe) Mafia 2 (PC) Dead Space (PC - looks sick; supposedly due out in late '08) Fracture (X360 - if it turns out well; seems...

ESET Security Suite, which is NOD32. Definitely the best a/v program I've ever used. Just moved from strictly NOD32 to the full suite, and it's excellent. I'm assuming you mean on two different systems? Cant use both at once individually on the same system, since the Security Suite is NOD32...

Just curious if anyone here uses WindowBlinds at all, and if you've ever noticed any problems/conflicts with other progs, including games. Since most of us here are in front of our computers so much of the time, I know I personally get tired of looking at the same old XP GUI, so I've used it...

Update: willing to drop to $50 if necessary for anyone interested. I have to get rid of this thing, because it's just sitting here new in it's box, and I need the $ to replace this with another mouse I know works best for me and is far more comfortable (especially due to the nerve damage in my...

I have a handful of .mov vids (Quicktime) that I need to convert into high-quality mpegs (or WMV), but currently don't have any conversion software. Can someone recommend a decent program that can convert them without losing any quality? Something that's not bloatware, spyware-free (obviously)...

Interesting. Maybe something with a recent update is causing us the same problem? Definitely not a hardware problem on my end either, and I've not been able to resolve it. Nothing else is slow (booting, shutdown window, progs etc.) but my shutdown time is insane. :confused: If you're going to...

Interesting... how would my profile become corrupted? When you say rename Username, you mean the folder that has other system folders in it? I'm assuming that's what you mean, since there's no file called "Username" in "Documents and Settings"...? Just a folder with my Username, Default User...

All basic stuff I take care of on a regular basis, but thanks for the suggestion. No slow down on boot (extremely fast), just shutdown, so it's something "hanging" when shutting down.

Ok, I understand what you're saying. Just tried to uninstall the new Eset Security Suite, rebooted a few times, but I guess that's actually not my problem. Still having slow log off times. Damn. This only started after the installation of Windowblinds (which I consequently uninstalled) and the...

Well, if it means anything (not that I can do anything about it): http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=192990. So, my common sense must be right-on, as this didn't start until the day or a day after I installed the new full Eset Security Suite. As stated in my above post, since...

Thanks for the link and the info, but I'm unsure as whether or not to install this if it can potentially cause a problem. It also hasn't been updated since '05. Are you suggesting to just install it once, log off, check the system log to find the culprit then just uninstall the program? Is...
