Muel Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Firefox renders better (IMO), has better plugins, can do more things out of the box, looks nicer and is easier to use. On the downside, it's badly built and buggy as foooook. All my opinions, not facts. I use both browsers every day for 8 hours at work (sometimes, when I'm testing), but cba to find real evidence.

I used both for a while as well. I found that Firefox just wasn't as quick as Chrome on loading pages and was too buggy, I think Chrome looks nicer and is very simple to use. But that is just what I felt. The plugins for Firefox are definitively better though, occasionally I have to go back to FF for that very reason.

anzo Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Best prog for encrypting pen drives?? Why dropbox? Only good if you have Internet access! Truecrypt.org I would recommend I have an Advent 7204 laptop that i was given. It recognises the original hd and the spare i have, yet when i try to install windows, it claims there is no drive. I have tried to find drivers but the only one i can find keeps insisting on using a floppy disc... What can i do? Both of the hds work on my pc when i connect them up (using the guts of an external drive case) and have been fully formatted. I have tried installing windows with the laptop and a pendrive, but it doesnt let me. As you may be able to tell, im not massively good with computers Go into BIOS, configuration, hard drive and change from APCI to Compatibility. May solve your problem, although usually you won't get far in the installation process if this is the issue...certainly worth a try though.

Muel Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Why dropbox? Only good if you have Internet access! Not strictly true, as you store a local copy of your files as well. All it means is you have to sync that computer as soon as you return to an internets to avoid conflicts, which is handles anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 When im playing team fotress 2 and I have music on in the background, if say, i shoot my gun, the music goes quiet. it's like teamfrotress 2 has more power in terms of who plays sound. And id much rather have my music over the sound of gunfire etc. I'm using winamp, some sexy lil graphics card and 5.1 surround sound if that makes any difference. Any ideas?

Topsy Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Get Chrome. I'm sure there's a way you can fix FF, but why bother? I'd rather fix it somehow. But I can't find anyone who has the same problem or a fix to it? Google shows lots of topics from 2009/2010... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not really related to computers but anyway. I'm about to replace my phone screen and the seller has listed this item. But it says something about "had one dead point" At the bottom of the lsiting someone has asked the same question but it means absolutely nothing to me? Does anyone know? Thanks. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Display-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Samsung-i9000-Galaxy-S-had-dead-point-/180757525902?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2a15fcf58e#ht_2171wt_1129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'd presume he means a dead pixel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ahhh of course. Do you think he means that item hes selling has one, or if my phone has one? if you understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) That screen he's selling has one, I reckon anyway. But then he has 10 available, so I dunno. Edited January 26, 2012 by Muel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Ahhh. I payed a little extra and went for a brand brand new one with tools etc. Still though, thats £75 i didn't have to spend. Considering selling my phone and getting a "lesser" android phone, something bit cheaper. Edited January 26, 2012 by dann2707 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Don't be a faggot. I'm counting the days until I'm due an upgrade and can get an S2. (Or wait for the S3). Then sell the S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Don't you hate it when you spend hours trying to solve a problem but you just can't? You end up leaving it and the problem goes away on it's own. I want my hours back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Dell Inspiron Laptop, Vista. A while ago had trouble with it booting, reinstalled vista but f**ked it up and there was two versions of vista on there. Worked fine for a few months, the old version of vista seemed to have been dumped into a folder where it sat doing nothing. So it got deleted, but is still in the recycling bin. I'm positive the laptop has been shut off and restarted since, but now the laptop is saying that "internal hard disc drive not found" when trying to boot, but when you hit f12 and go into the boot options, it finds two versions of vista to boot from, so the only way it can know that is because it can access the hard drive surely? Any ideas? Tried all the boot options and repair stuff but it just won't load up windows. Edited February 10, 2012 by JT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 It's totally borked. Install W7 instead, but choose the advanced install and do it from scratch, formatting the partitions first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Don't have access Windows 7. If we were to re install it would be vista, but really hoping to find away around it or at least be able to get on to get all the important stuff off it before doing that.

Muel Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hmmmm. Try booting an Ubuntu live CD and copying the stuff off to an external. Then steal W7. Seriously don't install Vista again, it's shocking. I just wiped my wench's 3 year old laptop of Vista and installed W7, it's at least twice as fast to boot up and to open the core programs like Firefox, Word etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Ok, I'm trying to format, but it won't boot from the CD. Changed the order it boots so cd drive is at the top, and also hit f12 and told it to boot from the CD drive, but it takes me straight to the two visa's to chose from. Even went as far as disabling all other bootable options and left only dvd/cd rom, and it now tells me there aren't any bootable devices. The DVD drive has been used before to reinstall.

JT! Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Sorted now. Used so I could boot (lets say windows 7 to keep Muel happy) from my external HDD. My question is now what have I done to my external HDD and what do I need to do (if anything) to get it back to a normal functioning storage device?

LukasMcNeal Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi there need some more RAM for my laptop, been looking at this 8gb set from crucial as shown here http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=Satellite%20Pro%20L630-167&Cat=RAM Whats the difference between the two 8gb options and what should I go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 One is 1066mhz, the other is 1333mhz. Before you buy, make sure your laptop is DDR3, has two DIMM slots, and find out what the fastest memory it supports is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 It looks as it supports both as that's what it lists as supported by that model, that's why I was unsure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
