    Slow down and a take a deep breath. :)

     

    Yes. We are talking about Windows. Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista and the various server versions all support proper, multiple password-protected accounts, which is due mainly to the filesystem used to format the HD (NTFS instead of FAT32). NTFS supports larger drives and is also much more secure. I'll put myself to sleep if I start telling you why it's better. Have a look on Google or something. The thing that interests you is multiple accounts and viruses. Yeah?

     

    Multiple accounts. You can set up hundreds of different accounts if you wanted to. Each has their own desktop (background pics, icons etc) and each has their own set of installed programs. Each users sets things up as they like them. If you install ImgBurn (or Opera) you'll see a requester asking if the program should be installed for a single account or for everyone. Pretty self explanatory. Each individual account can be password protected and cannot be viewed or fiddled with by anyone who doesn't know the correct password. (Administrators are the exception to this but that's another story). However, anyone can view or modify any desktop if the HD is formatted with FAT32 as it offers no protection at all. NTFS, by design, prevents users from using any account but their own.

     

    Viruses. In the same way users can't access other accounts, viruses can't either. A non-administrative user can suffer an attack and have all their files deleted but it won't affect anyone else. Even a FORMAT HD command issued by a trojan or whatever will fail as a smart administrator will limit what their users have access to. Again, this is only with NTFS. Regardless of the precautions you take, if you use FAT32 and a user suffers a virus attack, it will affect everyone.

    I also thought mazolla firefox was one item (its downloaded/ not installed)

    Not quite. You can find Mozilla here: http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.7.7

     

    Cookie settings on this computer seem to keep changing, I'm assuming other user choices affect all users. I know everytime I place an icon on my desktop, someother user complains (home unit- girlfriend, her kids)

     

    A good reason to set up multiple user accounts. Everyone has their own desktop that way. If your HD is formatted to use NTFS (the file system), it means that another user can suffer a virus attack and have their files wiped without affecting files on the other accounts. So... you could set yourself up as an administrator to be able to properly maintain your PC and everyone else as a user if you wanted to.

     

    When I lived alone, cookies were only enabled when neccesary, and sometimes I couldn't figure out how to turn them on for purchases.

    Can I switch browsers(firfox) and have it stick around with me, and keep the rest of them on "ie powered by yahoo" (yahoo just attached itself to ie this week)

     

    Multiple accounts will fix this problem altogether. :)

    1. Sounds like scaremongering to me. An internet cafe is anonymous. So is a free wi-fi hotspot like an airport. So is using your neighbours unprotected wi-fi. Even a proxy affords some anonymity.

     

    2. Anyone who surfs the net with cookies enabled on their browser needs bending over a barrel and then humped silly. FWIW, I use 3 browsers. I use IE with cookies enabled only for EBay and Paypal and I don't allow third party cookies. I use Mozilla with cookies enabled for this and two other forums. Nothing else. For surfing the net I use Firefox with cookies turned off. Firefox also has 3 sets of ad blockers, a script blocker, a referral blocker and various other add-ons to defeat the crap that's out there. I also use an extended HOSTS file. There is no reason to allow cookies from every site you visit.

    My Navigation DVD can´t read any image, only original discs

    You seem a little confused. Let me help. :)

     

    OTP - Opposite Track Path - Disk reads from the centre to the outside edge then changes layers and reads from the outside toward the centre. This minimises the time it takes for the laser in your DVD player to re-focus on the second layer when you watch a movie, for example. (Called the "Layerbreak").

     

    PTP - Parallel Track Path - Disk reads from the centre to the outside edge then changes layers and reads from the centre to the outside edge again.

     

     

     

    With the exception of developer drives , almost all burners are OTP. Burning PTP (like a GPS disk) as OTP places the information contained on the disk in the wrong place. As I said, it's part of the copy protection.

    Not Able To Install ImgBurn 2.3.2.0

    Can Someone Help Me ? Every Time That I Try To Launch The SetupImgBurn_2.3.2.0.exe Nothing Happens, When I Go Into Windows Task Manager In Processes I See That SetupImgBurn_2.3.2.0.exe Is Runing But Nothing Is Happening. I've Tried Turn Turn Off My Anti Virus Firewall Peer Guardian Any Program That Could Block The Installation And Nothing :(

     

    Anyone ? Thanks In Advance !

     

    I'd also grab a registry tool to see what's being loaded at startup. A virus will certainly stop you from installing ImgBurn as well. Try "Housecall" and see what happens. Also, grab RegCleaner to see what is allowed to run at startup.

    There's also the fact that DVD5s (single layer) still have the majority of the market share. The demand for DL simply isn't there when most people don't have the need to dump terabytes of data onto the more expensive DL format. With huge harddrives as cheap as they are, portable harddrives and large pen drives/jump disks cheaply available, there just isn't the need for them as much anymore. At least that's my opinion. :)

    I 15:39:19 Destination Device: [2:2:0] DVDRW SATA H16X S12V (E:) (ATA)

    I 15:39:19 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: MCC-003-00) (Speeds: 4x, 8x)

     

    A couple of things stand out here. The optical drive (your DVD thingy) on the SATA port and your media. Lightning is the expert with these but I know there's been huge problems with them over the past couple of years. I think it best for him to field this one.

     

    Your media (even though it's Verbatim) can be a bit dodgy. Verbatim -R is great. +R/DL is great. +R is a bit dodgy. I've never had any luck with them myself. Pretty ordinary really. Grab some -Rs and see how you go.

    The guides are fairly simple if you take your time. We encourage people to learn for themselves rather than spoon-feeding them answers they can find with a little effort because you will learn more from actually doing it. Read and experiment and then ask your questions. Not the other way around. :)

    I'm back, kind of
