just wondering what programs other people are running that i should have and should'nt have on my computer for burning,photos,video players,music,downloading,anti-virus and anything else you can think off which would help me run my computer better any ideas would help thank you

nero for burning anything by far the best nod for antivirus again the best blazemedia pro for any video or audio and editing and whatnot adobe premier elements for video rendering I like media classic or power dvd for playing

@romeo53 -- I'd suggest VLC for viewing, second choice would be SMPlayer. VLC has play "injured" files on occasion. I do all my burning (as data) with Nero.

For an anti-virus, I'd suggest Avast, for Spyware -- Spybot Search and Destroy. For adware Adaware. As a firewall -- Comodo. All the above are free.

As Devaasha

Plus for image manipulation (cropping, brightening, color ehancement/reduction, contrast adjust etc)

Adobe Photoshop 7 (thx to Mekon thus I didn't pay)

From Linux-land;
GIMP for photo editing
Handbrake my custom software for ripping and auto-titling DVDs
Antivirus: None needed.
Malware: None needed
Downloading files in general: wget
Downloading torrents: Transmission
Video editing: Avidemux
Playback: MPlayer or Xine
Simple transcoding: ffmpeg or mencoder
Software I use when getting suspect attachments: common sense.

Wow, kind of an old thread, but nyways, I'm posting for someone to help me with a project involving creating a Star Trek styled outfit design for my avatar on another website where one can join in Online Big Brother/Surviror, and other Reality Show based style games. They have a link for their own sort of base avatar design, and you can go into advanced mode and use their 'template'. I clicked on the download link for that and it looks like a page of code that comes up in a new tab on Firefox. Then I found another site that said I could download another template designed to be used with Paint.net, so I got that as well.
Nybody that can and wants to help me out, please pm me! Thanks in advance.

The reasons I want to do a Star Trek design is because of the following...

A: They do not seem to have many Star Trek fans there and I thought I could build some interest...and..

B: The designed outfits they have are just not a good representation of me, especially on that site, because I appear to be the oldest person on, so most of the designs are better representative of the majority of the people there.

Thanks again!

LOL ok, well I got no help at all anywhere with that above, but now I have a new problem. I am trying to get Unreal Tournament to host a game on my pc for a Network game, over the Internet. I keep getting host unresolved and Master Server Unresolved. Any ideas?
