I build a new system recently, and as is sometimes the case with new computers there were a few problems with components. D-Link took the best care of me, they didn't give me the runaround and shipped a replacement router right out. Incidentally I was replacing a Netgear product which couldn't...

Thanks for letting me know about this! I think I fixed the problem and I posted a new version of the program. Please let me know how it works for you! -Y

It's permanent, but you're welcome to mirror the file as well. -Y

Of course not, please go ahead. :) If this helps F@H get on more systems I'm all for it! Peace, -Y

The F@HSI is a simple install program which was designed to do one thing and one thing only - set up F@H as a service. I originally wrote it for my own use, but it occurred to me it might be helpful to others as well. Unlike Firedaemon, you don't have to install or run any additional programs in...

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies! I'm glad I posted this message since I barely even knew about Distributed Folding and now it's looking like it might be the best cause. Sorry, kind of an ambiguous query on my part. Everyone wants to run a client which has a 0% impact on their...

I'm trying to decide what distributed computing program to install on my computers. I've narrowed it down to 4 choices but I'm having a hard time deciding between them since they all look really similar. I'm curious to know which one you prefer, and why. Distributed Folding...

Definitely check out DirectConnect... I recommend DC++, but you can also use the Neo-Modus client. There's a bit of a learning curve but it's worth the effort to figure out this program. Peace, -Y

Hey everyone. Great thread! Most of the programs I can't live without have already been mentioned. However, there's one great app which I didn't see listed. QuickSFV is essential for anybody who uses peer-to-peer file sharing networks or IRC to get files. You simply double-click the SFV which...

Over the past few weeks, I've spent quite some time trying to figure out what the best peer-to-peer file sharing program is. I've experimented with the latest versions of Kazaa Lite, Morpheus, eDonkey2000, Overnet, WinMX, Grokster, Blubster, Gnucelus, BearShare, and many, many others. The...

Right-click on My Computer. Select Properties. Click on the Advanced tab. Click on the Performance Settings button. Click on the Visual Effects tab. Select the Custom radio button. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and check "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop". There you go! -Y

Open a command prompt and type convert c: /fs:ntfs You may need to restart your computer to complete the operation. -Y

I suggest you try running (or re-running) the Network Setup Wizard on both computers. I'm the kind of guy that likes to configure everything manually, but I've found that sometimes you need to run this wizard in order to get your network working 100%. I don't know whether this is due to a bug in...

Hello - I've been having a small but frustrating problem with Internet Explorer and it's my hope someone will be able to offer some assistance. I'm trying to setup IE to automatically open certain types of files without prompting me. I click on a link to the file and it opens a "File Download"...

I used to work at CompUSA. The PNY media is worthless. Try 16x Imation or TDK media. I use both with my 24x TDK and I've never had a bad burn. -Y
