There is a setting to let you use two different resolutions on my nvidia forceware. Might want to make sure it's checked to let you use different resolutions on each monitor.

Some how the combination of Maxthon, Avant and Admuncher has succed in bloking the ads in Gmail running Maxthon.

Don't know how, but I had Maxthon and Admuncher and still had the ads.
Installed Avant, (the simplest browser I've ever seen). And no ads now.

If I exit Admuncher the ads are back...kind of funny.

Not too impressed with Avant but Maxthon I like.

Loaded Fasterfox and saw a very noticeable difference in performance.
For the better that is. hope this helps someone.
Admuncher is not free, but only $20 I think.

Of course with firefox there is no ads in Gmail at all.

Still playin', haven't played with Opera yet.
But like I said I thought Maxthon was pretty nifty.
For me that is....................

So Web Mail is the subject, but this has been my trip thus far with Gmail stuff.

Love the instant access to Gmail rather then the things to do with getting into Yahoo. Even though i'll keep it. And Windows live I like for desktop sharing instant access to help my friends.

Peace.

I think the Nero software that comes with dvd and cd burners will play anything.

limitless? is that a free account?
just wondering...........

I also would like to see the attachment size limits increased,
and be able to hyperlink them-
use it as a temporary webspace.

speaking of size-lol
I picked up an old apple that had a 64mb hard drive.
That succer still works too.
But it was made before the internet.
No internet hookups for it.
Not even a phone line.
Although i heard of an attachment for it, I never pursued it.
It was running os8 for mac.
And could only have a 3.5 floppy drive.

The ads in gmail don't appear in firefox with the ad blocker add-on.

I'm toying with Maxthon now and the ads do appear in maxthon, even though it has an adblocker.

So I just downloaded ad-muncher which kills them in ie7, but for some reason does not in maxthon. Perhaps disabling maxthon's built in adblocker will alert admuncher.

Haven't tryed it yet. Gotta go to work .... again....

Ok set it to basic html and no ads, but no google talk interface either.
Which is fine, I use Skype any way.
Also if you open the email in a new window there are no ads with the 'standard with chat' mode on.

No ads like this in Yahoo, though I do like Gmail.
I've only received a few e-mails in Gmail so far but they all have ads.

Ha-just noticed that said 'cooking', I guess it was supposed to be cookies. Or not....

Could be some evil cooking happening, I'll have to check the Food Network.

I never said there was spyware in either ie7pro or firefox.
I never said anything about evil tracking cookings.

More lies about what I post, you are getting annoying.

What 'claims' exactly are you talking about.
And quote exactly what I said or shut up.

I still use firefox. I'm not interested in ie7pro.

I don't care if you agree or disagree, like the way I said it or not.

I have not made any 'claims' about either one of said programs.

And I even gave you an internet link for doing what both programs 'claim' to do. Does that look as if I'm afraid of the internet?

And I will not discuss what my standards are with you. You continue to twist my words to your liking. Is that your hobby?

And I never said this either.

There are people involved with everything, with your argument only way to get "secure" is not using anything and definitely not internet.

Please quote me if you are going to accuse me of saying something.

It's this kind of approach you have towards any comments on the way I run my computer and internet that leaves me wondering if you have even read what was said or meant by my posts or others regarding anything computer or internet related.

dk70

Always demand proofs and some logic, must be skeptical both ways - most can be revealed by doing a bit of research.

I have researched it wether you believe it or not. It's features are not appealing to me. I have no use for most of them.

This is a site known by the author of the program and that author remains silent. To me that speaks words that I can hear.

They flooded the internet with their campaign and one would have to go pages and pages back in a search to find anything real end-users are saying about ie7pro.

I never said to avoid ie7pro. I said I will not use it at this time. I said I wanted more end-user input. And you are the one pushing ie7pro-why?

There is a thread of warning from a reputable poster here on this forum.

The rest of your post treats me like I don't know things. You are assuming that I don't know a lot of things.

Personally I believe we should take things into our hands and get some laws passed about web-crawlers and the like.

And permanently ban e-mail address list trading as well as require that any e-mail sent have a return e-mail box that can be accessed. And unsubscribe honoured instead of ignored.

Why don't someone come up with a web-crawler-killer or something like that? And kill the damn thing so good that it fries the computer that sent it!

No way to set Google as default E-mail as far as I can tell so far but I haven't looked into it deeply yet.

For instance I can right click anything on my computer and send to e-mail recepient with yahoo.
Don't know if Gmail has that interface yet.

Yeah, I'm a Google account participant.
I have the notebook and docs and spreadsheets so I added Gmail.
It is an easier account to access.
And as iphigenie said yahoo adds a blog and more.
I'm sure google does too though.
And Yahoo is 1gb not 250 mb.
Either way, google or yahoo I doubt if I'd ever use that much space.

i have two pent 3's and have compared the speed side by side both ways
ie7 has beaten firefox everytime after the add-ons i wanted

so what i'll do is use ie7 for normal internet tasks
and firefox for the tasks i set it up for

ie7pro does not measure up to my standards of security and performance
the tasks i need that ie7pro provides are being accomplished by other programs

the internet is not a safe place in general imo
tasks that can be accomplished without involving internet access is more secure

shoot google your email address or handle or name
it's all being tracked and i'm not paranoid
just know that nothing is secure when other people are involved
they can always make a mistake or intentionally misuse info

well, i only have to click twice, then inbox
but gmail sounds interesting

i don't get much spam
only if i send an email to the wrong place
which i have been dumb enough to do

but i can always make a new yahoo account
import my contacts from messenger and inform them

what is required to sign up for gmail?
what do they want to know?

I'll try your suggestions dk70, but really what i added to firefox is what i wanted it do.
So now the slim browser is ie7.

I added quite a few search engines for research and the youtube downloader and a few other things.
Although i found a website to download youtube with out a program.

http://www.metacafe....os_without_software/

Also i have adblocking in my ie7 so that's not a problem. In fact I used the program till it expired and uninstalled it and it's still blocking ads, well most of them. firefox's is better but i can live with google ads.

Still learning, but speed slow downs show up quick on my old machine.
Too cheap to spend on another computer when what I have is working.

btw DC, I do intend to donate sooner or later. your programs are unmatched.
Freedom is a wonderful thing.

Well......seems Firefox slowed down a lot so I reinstalled it and it was back up to speed.
Reinstalled without uninstalling it.
Going to stay with ie7 though and use Firefox for the little tricks it can do.
Since I've added a few things to firefox, ie7 is a bit faster then firefox.
Plus I have my favorites synced between two computers,
yeah I know firefox can do that too, another add-on.

btw, no noticeable speed increase with tip number 12 from the 15 coolest tricks thread.
And I put it at 8 not 30 as suggested.
