General Software Discussion / Re: Windows 7 — first impressions

« on: November 30, 2009, 11:01 AM »

However, Norton was working on a UAC white-list app that would allow one to okay a UAC prompt once & then have the system remember that app as being okay & never prompting again. I haven't heard anything about that program lately, though.

Here's one but only works with Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista but it does NOT support 64bit & I have not tried it as I only got 64bit

Hi!

We're developers from Green Parrots Software - authors of 1st Clock mentioned in this thread!

Of course with Vista and x64 support!

We'd be glad to hear your opinions on both 1st Clock and 1st Clock Classic!

Nice looks like a replacement for Atomic Alarm Clock as they will not add support for 64bit.

Trialling it now it would sweeten it with a DC discount ?

I am using vista x64 & feed demon at first becomes non responsive & then crashes & I even had troubles with the RC1 as well.

I am not sure I want to try it yet till there is more feedback as I can't afford to brick 3 drives.

« on: January 14, 2009, 05:12 AM »

I think I may have pinned my problem down to v15.23 nforce driver as I started using it when I got the new drives & the problems started happening which is why I was thinking it was the drives.

I had a few bsod's on XP & a lot on vista x64 when using the v15.23 nforce drivers so now I am back to XP with v9.35 nforce drivers.

Well I got 3 Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS drives & have had problems ever since using them like random bsod's that are never the same so I think they must be the problem.  

I did a search but couldn't find anything so is there a new firmware out for them as the one's I got have SD15.

General Software Discussion / Re: How to automate the scanning of file selected with AVG Free in DOPUS

« on: November 04, 2008, 06:34 PM »

Here is how to add a context menu to a button

Open regedit then find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
there should be a AVG entry there & it will have a string that looks like this {B089FE88-FB52-11D3-BDF1-0050DA34150D}<this one is for eset nod V3

Create a new button then edit it in advance mode & paste this in there

FileType CONTEXTFORCE CONTEXTMENU={AVG's string}
so it would look like this
FileType CONTEXTFORCE CONTEXTMENU={B089FE88-FB52-11D3-BDF1-0050DA34150D}
