Bongiovi DPS Audio Plug-in

Leo the Lion — Thu, 04 Jan 2018 1:21:42 PM -0500

I raved about this software utility about a year ago on how it can dramatically improve the sound experience on any Windows PC. I run a decent set of Creative speakers connected to my Qosmio laptop in my office and the sound quality improvement after installing Bongiovi DPS is like night and day. If you are looking for improvement in the sound quality of your music or movies you will be blown away by this little plug-in.........and its being offered for free until the end of the year. Bongiov...

Touchscreen Applications

RedneckDude — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 3:08:44 AM -0400

Hey guys. I recently started using a touch screen monitor on my Windows 8.1 rig. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on good touch enabled software to share. For example, I would like a virtual keyboard that automatically pops up when needed, like what happens on a tablet. I would be appreciative for any useful input......tia.

Run Android Apps On Windows or Mac!

RedneckDude — Tue, 30 Jul 2013 7:48:55 AM -0400

Guys, any of you that have an Android smartphone should look into a neat little program called BlueStacks. It let's you run Android apps on your PC or Mac! I have it on Windows 7 and Windows 8 and it works well. It is still in beta, but I love being able to run some of my phone apps on my PC! And it can sync with your phone! More info at BlueStacks .

Clam AntiVirus

LizMarr — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 8:16:16 AM -0500

I fired up my Windows 2003 Small Business Server the other day (finally got a hub so I had a wire for it) and discovered that years ago when I last used it I had installed ClamWin AV. Well, I decided to snoop around to see why I was using it, besides it being free for a server, and it seems to have good marks. I found it interesting that it says it will run side-by-side with any of several AV products. Why alongside of another - isn't one enough? Has anyone even heard of/use this op...

KeepSafe question

LizMarr — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 6:53:57 PM -0400

This comes with my usual "is this the right forum?" disclaimer. As many know, I am a budding author with 2.75 books published and a couple more outlined. This amounts to about 300,000 words and 1,000 or more hours of typing. This doesn't count imagination time. As one can imagine, I'm pretty paranoid about having enough backups. I even carry not one but TWO thumb dives on my key ring containing the most recent updates. Everything I have worth having is backed up upon a 500gb...

Acronis And WindowBlinds

RedneckDude — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 1:26:33 AM -0400

Hey guys. And duck. Acronis keeps being skinned by WB even though I have added all Acronis exe files to the exclusion list in WB. Anyone got any suggestions?

What is secuROM? Specifically, how does it apply to Men of War?

JCD-Bionicman — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 8:53:59 AM -0500

Please no concern troll bullcrap please. Specifically, how does secuROM apply to Men of War? Limited activations, internet activation, etc. If its pretty much just all done through impulse I dont really mind. Ive heard secuROM varies greatly between games and also in level of intrusiveness. Also, how long is that bundle thing going to last? Is it even worth it?

Display Fusion Update

Phoon — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:44:18 AM -0500

A little FYI for those that use Display Fusion. You should already know this if you have auto updates turned on but in case not.. This utility is a lifesaver for me since I have 2 different size displays. I use it to be able to set a different wallpaper on each desktop, or use the same one but sized independently. Another nice feature: You can change your logon/logoff screen without the need for additional software. Get it here! <---- Click dat' lil schpot dere... ...

Problem with impulse

Nimbin — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 5:59:16 PM -0400

I just loaded impulse and saw an update for windowblinds but before i can update impulse tells me it needs to be updated first, so fine i go to update impulse and it gets to 7% and then reports an error while downloading the update. Any ideas on when this issue will be sorted out as i can't update WB without it. I am a current subscriber until oct 31st this year so it's nothing to do with an expired sub or anything. hope to hear something soon. Nimbin ...

Defraggle Rock

qrush — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 7:18:39 AM -0400

As always, I'm late to jump on the failboat, and this time I've decided to do some serious maintenance on my computer. I've had enough of having to rely on System Restore and worrying that I've lost all of my data, or that my computer is on the brink of death. So, I'm going to start maintaining my system more, and that's starting with keeping my hard drive as tidy and speedy as possible.
