    Thing is, I don't have anything against Windows based computers, I'm just a sucker for Apple design... plus I'm used to using a Mac OS. I can't say "It's the best" because I haven't really got much experience with anything else, I just happen to prefer Macs for the time being. smile

    But srsly. I'm so weak when it comes to technology and gadgets. shame

    Oh i have a lot of negative experience with PROFESSIONAL usage of windows os systems, believe me; over at home and at the studio, i just couldn't believe how our intel core 2 quads lots of rams and ghz were being crashed down by Microsoft's horrible os. And please don't any user of music, office and internet give me the usual "my windows / pc works just fine" argument again.

  1. I may have a problem with the web search function in my family tree software and I need some help.

    I've managed to fix the issue but if it recurs I'm advised to:

    "...please disable any Windows cleanup utilities or set the FTW (related to the software) subdirectory inside the Windows Temp folder as an exception..."

    How do I set the subdirectory as an exception for the cleanup utility?

    It's not that far from reality really, when taken to the extreme. That doesn't apply to 1-2 hours per day discussing with people you know, some of them are even your friends - your favorite musical topic. Such studies address far more serious internet addiction studies, especially amidst the youth. I think nowadays everyone of us knows a couple (or more) of such cases in their lives.

  4. I have a question...

    I have a folder - "C:Documents and SettingsAlanApplication DataRealRealOne Playerdb" that contains a backup folder. Within this folder there's a series of folders labelled "000" to "155". Within these folders are small files (almost 40,000 in all the 155 folders) with a TMD extension. They take an age to go through when I do a virus check.

    Anyone know what they are? I've deleted RealOne Player as I've other media players that are better and I'm wondering if they are left over from using Real Player some time ago as my preferred CD ripper?

    Question is - can I delete them?

    May well be: these look like temporary files. Weird format, though, tmd extensions... Are these large files?

    Anyway, if they're in a folder associated with an application you've deleted, in 99.9% of cases you're perfectly OK to delete them (I'd say 100% of cases, but that would just be my own experience).

    Of course you can delete them since you don't have the associated software anymore on your computer. Alan, to avoid something like this happening when you uninstall applications that leave traces behind, do the un-installation through perfect and freeware REVO UNINSTALLER that looks after the uninstall setup finishes, to see if any leftovers were left on hard disk or registry of windows and deletes them too.

    Oh, no man. Not us. Nope. Never happen. And you know. It's not like anyone cares, anyway. Nobody loves us anyhow. So what's the point, y'know?
    There's none.
    Just no point at all.

    Not with that speech impediment you're not!

    BTW, thanks for the advice about the files. Revo Uninstaller is a great little application, but I had uninstalled RealOne Player before I came across the app. And, as you know, you can't benefit from Uninstaller's abilities with an already-deleted application.

    I work on a PC, and I need to send a large text documents to a Mac user. They need to be able to edit it and send it back to me. Are there any file formats that are generic to both PC's and Mac's?

    This is a wind-up, right?

    If not: OF COURSE THERE ARE.
    Word on Mac works the exact same way as Word on the PC, and saves to the same extension (doc or docx).

    When in doubt (or not using Word) you could use more or less platform-independent formats like HTML, RTF or even raw TXT.

    It's not a wind up. I know you can get Microsoft Office for the Mac, but I honestly have no clue whether you can open a .doc file if you don't have it. dizzy

    Most word processing programs will be able to open .DOC documents, even free, open source ones.
    Worst thing that could happen is that some Word-specific formatting is lost or changed (especially embedded objects should be a bitch), or that you'd need to do a quick download of some sort of compatibility program.

    It should be no problem, really.

    Definitely, unless formatting is a major requirement.
