Hey buddy, enough with the flaming and ranting. I installed this thing without any problems, I don't feel that my performance is any worse. You need to get off the "net" before your screwed. Don't blame the uninstaller, because you have an unsual setup on your computer.

MY GOD! Im back to normal windows at last, I used a Windows XP live CD.

I have windows restore also off, because it has a performance hit.

I manually restored all *.backup files myself, in the BartPE enviroment.

But this is the last time i trust someone that says it has been fully tested, because a few pc's got screwed up bad.

The uninstaller doesnt work flawless.

For the ones that are still screwed can try to make their own live cd

http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ and have an explorer like totalcommander installed to rename all the *.backup files to their originals.

Ok, i have just installed this and ran the update. It's great.

Oops!!! i made a mistake... let me correct myself," i will not use this software again" (damn, i must be tired!)  :no:

Anyways...... nightRider yes when i installed this (which i will not do again) my system performance went down alot. System restore is your friend!!!!

That's strange.... my comp actually became faster for some reason... before, when i put my comp to hibernate, it usually takes about 20 seconds before it actually begins to do so but now, it starts right after i hit hibernate on the menu...

Mades some PNG's for other folders... someone tell me the best way to make them into icons?

Those are great. can you make all of those the same size? preferrable the largest size you have of the three.

First of all this software should be labeled as BETA! Before the fixes this software did not work properly. Now i am not going to try the most updated version beause of the lovely experience that i had with the first. Now yes, people should never disable the system restore to try to sheer very minor performance gain. But the uninstallor would not uninstall the software that was in placed with this sofware. The biggest issue is that it does not create a backup in the (hidden) servicepack files. For the people that disabled there system restore, all i can say have fun!!!! :p And again this should have been tested before putting it out there. I am not saying just run and call it good.

If my limited experience of this pack is anything to go by, the uninstaller is completely useless unless you're completely up to date with windows update and you've made no system changes yourself. With that in mind, use at will, but if someone wants a better toolbar replacement, from vista itself pm me.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.

      Promoting is fine - advertising, informing, whatever.  But interrupting your PAID OS experience is not.
