Well good try.
Add blockers, some security stuff blocks flash I'm sure it's something like that.
It would do no good uninstalling Firefox unless you deleted the files manually for it, they hold the user data.

Well hope you guys see the problem. I use Google Chrome.

I think I'm going to go get a Samsung 3D monitor later on. I can't stop thinking about it. The 3D on this monitor doesn't work for my nvidia video card. Will have to do a hack.

So does it have a mode where you don't need the glasses ?

[Tribrid Vampire]

Ya it's a normal monitor. For 3D you turn it on etc.

[Blue Frost]

I thought as much, but wasn't sure, and I guess you would need 3d content.
I wonder if I could make the forum in 3d

[Blue Frost]

I had that issue not long ago, it was Ad-aware blocking it

[Tribrid Vampire]

I returned the Asus 3D monitor. It was too bulky big. For some reason you can only watch youtube videos in 3D if you use firefox. Took me a while to figure that out. Left 4 dead 2 in 3D wasn't anything special or mind blowing.

Bummer, what a waste of time you had, maybe look at some online reviews to find something better
I may look this weekend for a new monitor, this one can be a backup or if I can have duel it will be secondary

I just installed the new Xbox SmartGlass app on my smartphone. Now I can control my Xbox 360 remotely right on my phone. Can also use my phone as a keyboard for the Internet Explorer app on the Xbox 360. I'm sure the new Windows 8 phones gives you the ability to control your Windows 8 PC as well.

Crazy everything is getting linked .

I tried Avast the other day, and now my computer is so buggy.
It uninstalled a few programs, and messed up my toolbar to boot.
Last time Ill use them, or try them out.
I think I may reformat soon just to wipe it all out.

[Tribrid Vampire]

You know Windows 8 have built in anti-virus security software just like Macs. Never need to install any security softwares.

[Blue Frost]

I had windows security essentials already, but wanted to try Avast again to see how it would do, messed stuff up for me.
Ill just back up my info , and reformat, it's better than dealing with buggy system performance.

[Tribrid Vampire]

I use microsoft security essentials.

[Blue Frost]

It's not a bad program, but I rather use other stuff with it as long as it's compatible.
Avast took it out, and Spybot search, and destroy. My logging on, and off has been slowed also, especially shutting down.

Anyone know how to backup Emails ? I use Thunderbird, but I would guess it wouldn't be that different than outlook.

[Blue Frost]

The bad part about Reformatting is getting everything back to the way you like it, it takes me a week of tweaking, and deleting out stuff Microsoft put in I don't want.

I wish I knew a few years ago.

Lost about ten years of e mail with a hard drive crash.

I still don't know how.

[Blue Frost]

I think you can drag the file from the program folder, but I just emailed them to myself I have a few accounts.
It's a shame you lost those, to bad that had to happen, I know how it feels.

[Blue Frost]

Just downloaded a lot of programs to reinstall, will help when I start over again. I think soon as my backup finishes Ill be ready to dump this installation.
Ill do it tomorrow most likely so if I'm not around I killed my computer
