So...My pc crashed...
« on: August 06, 2010, 02:39:46 AM »
Well It finally happened, I took the modifying to far & to my horror the system wouldnt boot into any mode. I was able to rescue my documents but I have no programs anymore ._. Reccomendations...? I really dont want to "bloat" it this time is why.

so far...

For Audio:
itunes (for the ipod)
Foobar2000 *general use

For Video:
Media player classic
w/ Satsuki Decoder Pack *prefer this over K-Lite

For Performance:
TuneUp Utilities 2010
CCleaner

For Visuals:
Intel Display Adapter management Tool 1.1
BlackBox BBLEAN
Rainmeter

For chatting:
Skype
Windows Live

For Internet browsing:
Google Chrome

For security:
Norton 2010 *60 day trial

For Images & Flash
Adobe CS4 Master suite
Irfanview

For Website editing:
I need a good one that can handle alot of different formats. (any price)

For FTP:
Filezilla (its enough :/)






Give me your reccomendations! I'm using Windows 7 Home premium 64bit.

not unless your a retard who actually buys your music off itunes. If you dont buy your music off of it then winamp allows you to transfer shit to and from your ipod without the hassle and bloat of using itunes

I know some other folks have had similar issues but when dealing with multiple thousand songs (like 10 or 15k songs) winamp has a tendency to crash a lot more then foobar or media monkey thing does for me

Actually I dont, it was just for syncing ._. if thats the case I'll just use winamp instead of foobar also.

Keep in mind that while you can sync some files and music, etc with winamp, you can't do your updates or app downloads with it.  That's not a problem if you use an older iPod though :D

Well app updates & downloads can be done via the iphone, so thats no issue to me! I never synced apps to itunes anyhow I found it too frustrating.

p.s: Zed, guess you were wrong.

CS4 Master Suite > Microsoft.

And trust me, it gives you a lot more flexiblity with your designs.  I love dreamweaver for quick webpage design.  It takes no more than a couple of hours and you can have a really nice looking web page.  But nothing beats knowing how to read code :)
I have typed these words and you have been forced to read them.  Now you can go cry in the corner if you like :)

 I'll mess around with dreamweaver then. I used to have MX the one from 2006 i think, but my serial key stopped working (yes legit copy) so meh.

Neither Dell nor HP. My HP laptop finally overheated (Gpu hit 220+ temps so I retired it) it just sits pretty on my subwoofer... which I never use anymore since I accidently broke a prong to the main speaker so the volume control doesnt work...basically I turn it on and the speakers are on full volume... its 4.1 Quad setup so its way too loud that way ._. ANYWAYS! its a Gateway NV54 Series laptop. considering the manufacturing date on the hdd is oct 2009, Ide say its fairly new...

@ Im downloading Floola, but now I wonder what takes Less memory to run winamp or foobar. Ive had alot of crashing with foobar were my playlist names would dissapear so Im not sure.

Yawn - tried Winamp for syncing, but because Winamp has these annoying dual windows and no Sync monitor my files most of the time ended up incomplete or corrupted, might aswell stick software designed for the device.
