There's a tough choice here on which one you would rather pick and or choose etc.

Depends on the games you like the most and if you rather have free online game play or pay a yearly or monthly fee.

If you rather pay a monthly or yearly fee your choice is XBox 360 and XBL.

If you choose Free .. your choice is Sony PS3 and the PSN network, sure not everything is 100% free but you can upgrade stuff on your games rosters and all for little money but in the end the choice is your's.

I would go with a PS3, but that's up to you.

Realplayer sucks. Try this instead. It's a Firefox add-on.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006


That site doesn't work for whatever the reasoning. whoa

Sorry. Try this site instead. The plug-in is called video downloadhelper

Real Player?

That sounds soooo 1996!

May I suggest Media Player Classic? (Not the only one great player out there).


Well what's the differents between the two ?

What happened to the downloader that lets you download videos from youtube to real player, my isn't working. Any ideas what to do to fix this problem.


try reinstalling realplayer and make sure you check the box for the downloader pop-up tab. Most likely your Firefox was updated and the realplayer extension is out of date.


Oh okay thanks. :thumbsup:

DONT GET AN ANTIVIRUS ANYTHING. IT IS A SCAM.

If your computer gets messed up after you visit some porn site - reformat. There is not an antivirus program in the world that can handle every specific tracking cookie - and who cares.

You don't need security on a computer. No one is coming to get you. Stop paying those idiots protection against something that does not happen.


You don't even have to go to porn sites to get virus now a day's.. just open a simple email with out any warning and bang your pc is good as a gonner or better yet talk to a friend who has a virus and they may not know it and when talking to them through AIM or Yahoo which ever service you have.. you can get a virus.

Besides reformating your pc all or any of the time or a lot of the time can take and be a hand full not to mention bothersome when having to reinstall programs all over again even if you don't have those programs backed up etc, some of those backed up files could have a virus on them etc.

Not sure just saying.

What's the best free program. I was using Mcafee which I liked very much but after reinstalling windows on my computer and trying to reinstall it, it wouldn't work it kept failing on me and I called them up and they told me to get rid of everything in which I had done that would be related to spyware programs etc because it wouldn't work with there's but everything I have tired doesn't work.

Any ideas how I can reinstall it if the installment fails. ? The reason I ask this is because it is free to me since I have high speed internet through comcast and I also use aol.

If not is there any good free programs. Right now I downloaded Avast last night / late morning but it's an alright program, I'm just not to sure how over all good it is.


I've had pretty good luck with Avira Anti-Vir Personal. Unlike AVG (which is crippled at the factory and won't actually get rid of your viruses) and Avast! (which requires that you re-up your registration annually), it works pretty well. Of course, you gotta deal with the nag screens telling you that you just HAVE to get the full-version, but the proggy is pretty much cool nonetheless.

Comodo supposedly has a combination firewall/anti-virus program that evidently works well, also. I don't have any experience with that particular suite, though.


Oh okay thanks.

ohh. Maybe you had the same problem I did. If you download the Beta version of Internet Explorer (8, I think), then it makes it so the McAfee screen is blank. I had to go back to IE 7 and then it worked again.




Not sure about that, but I don't have IE 7 because when I first had it on my pc it wouldn't even work, so I end up downloading aol just to download IE 8, this was while I was trying to update all of my programs since reinstalling windows xp on my pc.

OKay I just installed 3 1GB of ram. Now I'm trying to figure if it's up from what I just had or what a little confusing to me is all.

I had 512 MB of ram now it reads 248MB of ram.

Is that good or what.

Sorry I'm having an off day here. think


Make sure the sticks are installed properly.

or

You might have bad ram.


Yeah.. well I called for over the phone help.. so I knew I was installing them right.

:wink:

I'm stil thinking about the magic jack, it sounds good


Yeah.. I just think Magic Jack could improve just a little bit on some things other wise it's a good over all service.

The only really good thing you have to lose is noting, you try it out for one whole month and if you don't like it you ship it back before your free month or try up is up.

If you like it then you just pay $40 bucks for the first time and next year you only pay $20 bucks that's it.

laugh laugh lol funny.. I didn't hear the pop in sound of both sides.from what Crucial told me that could be my problem, then they made me take everything out and redo everything all over again.

I just finally got it all by my self with a little bit of there help.

So now my PC reads 3.11 GB of ram. happy




You gotta be careful to always place it right..you could ruin not only the memory sticks but the motherboard and CPU as well.


Well the guy from Crucial didn't even tell me that and I was being as careful as I could be.

Besides if I ruined something.. then my pc wouldn't turn on etc.. now would it ? .


Not necessarily. You would have strange crashes or certain things wouldn't work right.

I just had a memory gone bad after a while, I didn't really know until I tried to copy and install programs and they would crash the computer. After I figured out the problem, suddenly everything worked.


Well.. hopefully I didn't mess anything up. I'm sure I didn't but only time will tell, I guess I shall see.

What do I look for if everything seem's fine thus far right now ?
