I like this one because it integrates with Media Player. http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd\_decoder.html\[^\]
Seeing as we both have ATI cards would NVIDIA be pissed off if I use it? Since Johnny Howard felates Dubya so much couldn't you Yanks make our Aussie dollar worth a bit more?

So anyway, I have been getting legal and all with my and my wifes software of late (phucking Microsoft, shrinkwrap on the Windows XP Professional packaging was too tight, so the package was warped and so too was the Certificate of Authenticity, so it doesn't sit or stick correctly on the computer). So I am now looking for free or cheaper software to replace the dodgy stuff I was using. Windows XP Professional- now legal Office 2003 - now replaced with OpenOffice 2.0.1 WinZip 9 - Legal and on the Wifes WinRAR 3.5? - Buying next week for me Norton SystemWorks - Any recommendations on an AntiVirus and Utilities? Currently using none. CD/DVD Burning package - Image to iso or similar would be nice DVD Playing software Email - going to use Thunderbird, can it read/import .pst? Any other recommendations?

As other points, AVG is a very good idea. I've benn using for 4 years and it's a good one.

I used to use nero but the new version stinks IMHO. I switched to the free version of DeepBurner[^] Jerry

Windows XP Professional - Same OpenOffice 2.0.1 - Same WinZip 9 - Switched to ZipGenius[^] WinRAR 3.5? - Switch to ZipGenius Norton SystemWorks - Comcast offers McAfee for free. They're all the same. CD/DVD Burning package - Nero came with my machine. Email - Been using Eudora at home forever and have no interest in anything else. Don't want email to include everything.

Been using AVG[^] for anti-virus: free and seems pretty good. You could just get the Microsoft Action Pack[^]: you get everything for a couple-hundred pounds: full and legal XP Pro, Server 2003, SQL Server, Office Pro, Project, Visio etc, etc. www.merrens.com

Little Johnny Howard is 1 of only 2 world leaders (elected leaders of their country) who agreed with and followed Georgie to war. Felate means gives head jobs (blows jobs to you Yanks) too. So I think Georgie should make our dollar worth more. Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you".

I also recommend DeepBurner. Jon Sagara Look at him. He runs like a Welshman. Doesn't he run like a Welshman? Doesn't he? I think he runs like a Welshman. Sagara.org | Blog | My Articles

It also has one of the worst interfaces known to mankind. :laugh: I tried that already, it's too much a pain to actually navigate a DVD with. Jeremy Falcon

ZipGenius[^] handles 7Zip files, RAR and WinZip just nicely. I also prefer the interface to 7Zip. I used WinZip for years, switched to 7Zip at home for a month (couldn't handle how it works), then switched to ZipGenius.

It's better than the compitable algos by WinZip (so they work with most programs), but not better than the new stuff they put out with WinZip 10. Jeremy Falcon
