Since Shoo and I are redoing the stickies, we figured we might as well make a new computer help thread seeing how long the other one is.

In case you can’t find it, v3.0 is here http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=65951

and some useful links from v3.0

Wooo first new post!

Now thats outta the way, I need info on how to get possible adware off of my comp. I already used an Ad-Aware program but they seem to keep coming up and it seems I cant run an error check on my C drive.

woo :slight_smile:
finally

Is there a way to change windows without leaving your keyboard. Like you got two internet explorers running, can you switch between them without using the mouse? I’m working on something, and I don’t wont to to leave my keyboard.

Hold Alt, press Tab.

And Alt+Spacebar brings the window menu up, so Alt+Spacebar then N minizes, X maximizes, etc. Good for controlling windows without the mouse.

I have a dilemma. My new mouse’s forward and backward buttons only go forward and backward on IE. If I try to use the buttons in Firefox, it scrolls up and down instead. Help?

Hoonyo: Check out a guide to Firefox configs. You can change that option pretty easily in the config file, though I don’t know the exact entry.

Not seeing it in the configs. =\

hey chipper, grab whats on the first page of v3.0 and put it on this one

Try Spyware Doctor on download.com, but before you run it, do the Live update. IIRC, do custom scan and check off everything that accesses every area.

Some stuff to update with…

everything SHOULD work now. Let me know if something doesn’t.

I got more on my freeware list… a LOT more…

so if anybody needs anything specific, let me know, and i’ll see what I can scrounge up…

damn, what’s with all the buttons? you guys need a better shourtcut: Here just push the windows button and D and see for yourselfs. Rookies :wasted:

ok i figured out what was wrong. there was a program running called mouse suite that wouldn’t allow me to use the thumb buttons to go back and forth through pages. i turned that thing off and now i can go back and forth using firefox and opera. what sucks, however, is i can’t use the tilt wheel in IE or opera now. works fine in firefox though.

He was asking about switching between windows, not minimizing everything.

Can anyone recommend a video converter that can change FLV files to AVI/MP4 files?

I posted up an entire list of free video converters. As far as I know, I’ve covered every GOOD free video converter out there.
