If your now using Firefox browser a good addition to that is Ghostery.
It stops pop ups and trackers. Although some sites require these to work, Facebook is one. But you can set these to always allow for those sites Tools--Add-ons--Browse all add-ons--search box "Ghostery" Hope this helps |

You will need to burn it as an image with your disc writing software not just copy the file \ files to a disc. Sorry if I have stated the obvious!

Cheers Steve..
Two parts to the download, one is an ISO, the other one of those folders with a zip on the side? I copied both (using XP's own software) to CD .. Didn't work though. When I opened the zipped folder it only contained a folder called keyboard patch, and a link to Hirens site.. CD is first boot location.. ... |

hi
The file you downloaded would have be a zip file of a bout 600mb. Extract the contents of that zip and then burn the iso to a cd. http://www.hirensbootcd.org/burning/ cheers Steve |
