Most often, the fragmented files are ones that cannot be moved.

I couldn't have said it much better myself. ;D

www.aimutation.com Nuff said.

I must say, I heard this song about a month ago and since I wanted to get it. It seems a bit like a rap song but it's really amazing. Lyrics (Somewhat explicit lyrics, f* word used twice.) Video (Clean and censored) He touches base on the following hot topics: marajuana, prescription drugs, self-esteem, terrorist "masterminds", lazy americans (The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004. "How'd you get through it grandpa?" "Oh, it was horrible Johnny, there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere."), suffering/Bill Gates, poverty/minimum wage. A lot of the cd is really good, and quite funny. If you've heard it, do reply your thoughts on it.

Might want to remove that file of yours and fix your post.

http://www.innosetup.com Use Inno Setup. It's one of the best setup utilities available, great compresson and all. Even MS and Nasa have used it. Also get ISTool ( http://www.istool.org/ ) as it will speed up your installer script generation time by far.

I'll buy THAT for a dollar!

I use Outpost Pro 2.5. I at one time used ZonePro, but when I would boot my ME computer, I had 80% system resources free. When I booted running Outpost Pro, I had 95% resources free. Right now about the only issue I'm trying to figure out that I believe it related to Outpost 2.5 Pro is why Winmgmt is loading when I boot up.

So you had a faulty drive, and more than likely the (forgive me I just woke up here) li'l thing that reads/writes data was off a bit and misreading the drive causing the freezes/hangs. I had a similar problem, my hard drive made a nails on a chalkboard noise and did much as you said, it would stop responding for some time, though it also would make the noises..

Not a problem, thank you for the reply.

One month later... Is there any answer out there?

It eventually redirects to www.pcbugdoctor.com, but I've tried this software and it doesn't work at all, just another one of those "hoax" softwares that fakes fixes in my opinion.

It might help if you can post a segment of the log from your firewall. More than likely these are just pings, ICMP echos and items of that nature. I'd get them on occasion and be alerted with Outpost Professional (Much better than Norton and ZAP, in my honest opinion.)

I'm using AIM 5.2 with AiMutation. Works extremely well to me. Removes ads and all kinds of junk. Btw, there's a path in the Windows directory you can go to in order to edit your profile. info.htm is the file name.

Experts acknowledge Outpost Firewall Pro as one of the most secure and easy-to-use firewall software solutions available on the market.

In case it is switched off, Windows Security Center will alert the user to a potential danger.

Any word on this question?

Thanks Gamehead200. I do appreciate it. Although the dilemma at hand that I can see is if neither BBCode or HTML versions will work, then it's almost pointless? (I could be wrong) Url to a forum where I've posted: http://aaotracker.4players.de/thread.php?threadid=57524

Here's an example taken from the www.aaotracker.com site. Note that the background image is transparent, and what you're seeing behind it is the forum colors of their boards. The text within always changes, but that's what it would look like. If you wish you can apply their background color to it as you see the sig below. Code for BB Sig is below. [url=http://aaotracker.4players.de/usertracker.php?userid=215457][img=http://aaotracker.4players.de/trackersig.php?userid=215457][/url]

Actually, it's a preset signature from www.aaotracker.com Note: The image I use is transparent so that makes me wonder if size matters.

Enclosing an example, perhaps this will clarify and get an answer. Hoping these will work; if not perhaps a solution can be suggested if the sig is allowed..? HTML: <a target="_blank" href="http://aaotracker.4players.de/usertracker.php?userid=215457"><img border="0" src="http://aaotracker.4players.de/trackersig.php?userid=215457"></a> BB-Code version will not work, error returned: THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed

I'm wondering if I could use the AAOTracker signature? Reason I ask is: I can see how that would cause a conflict with the forums rules here; but if the image choice is transparent, would it matter? I use the transparent background image to this is what really had me thinking here. (Oops, just noticed I put this in the wrong place. My apologies. *Looks for delete*) Edit: Thread got moved, thanks!

Just curious, but wasn't a similar poll already made like this? >;D
