It wasn't for his avatar though
oh right didn't think he meant this forum since it was so large, in the future resize it before you upload it (regardless of transparency) since your program likely does it much better than the scripts that do it when you upload it to the forums.

Thank you all for your help. I knew it was transparent in some way!

A bit too late. Thank you so much for the effort, though.
I just want to thank you all again for replying so quickly and helping me out.
Got a RAM question... I currently have a 2x2gb pair of Corsair RAM known as cmxg4gx3m2a1600c9 and I'm looking for a second pair and I can literally not find them anywhere, they're not even on Corsair's website. I got them from Fry's last November.
This is the closet I can get to a "matching" pair, [url]http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Channel-Memory-Processors-CMX4GX3M2A1600C9/dp/B002LE8D2A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306201810&sr=8-1[/url], would it be safe to mix them? I looked for support on this and can't find a thing since the current pair I have pretty much show up no where except eBay.

[QUOTE=Makol;29949487]I was looking at some Scythe fans and found these [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185091&cm_re=Scythe-_-35-185-091-_-Product[/url] (they're cheaper at a local place), these worth getting if I'm trying to lower my fan noise?
My case has four of these (all stock and came installed in the case, three 120mm and one 140mm) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146002[/url] and two of these on my Hyper 212+ [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103078[/url]
Should I get six of these to replace all my fans or just the the four case fans?[/QUOTE]
Also still looking for an answer on this...

I know that this is for H&S questions, but I tried asking this in avatar requests and was just ignored. Could someone please resize and crop this so I can use this as a Steam avatar?
I'm looking to eventually replace this damn Mac Book with something non-Apple, but I've bought so much shit for OS X that I'm not sure I want to give it up entirely just yet.
Could someone recommend me a good hackintosh compatible laptop with decent graphics hardware (current game compliant) and a quad core CPU? I assume the main requirement is similar hardware, but I've heard stories of instability and deliberate gimping by Apple.
When I go to start up GTA IV it starts all fine and dandy until after I sign into Social club, it seems to be normal until after a couple seconds from after I had signed in then I get a Error reading GTA IV has stopped working.
Picture of Error even though it will not help at all

Mine seems to do that only if the "Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant" service isn't running. Or if I've got a botched mod or something like that.
[editline]23rd May 2011[/editline]
You may want to check and make sure that's running...just as a place to start. Although usually it starts by default, so that may not be the issue.

GTA IV can be a pain sometimes. I've had it randomly break in the past, for no reason at all.
GTA 4 is ALWAYS a pain with GFWL!

The Quick Questions that does not deserve a thread V3 - maek avatar edition
Whenever I connect to my laptop remotely, it pops up a dialog box on the laptop asking the currently logged on user for permission to let me connect.
Is there any way to disable this so that whenever I connect, it'll force them to log out and let me in?
Does anyone have fix for windows7 visual setting "Show windows contents while dragging" getting disabled automatically all the time?
When i turn it on it works for like 10 minutes and then gets disabled, haven't really found out what would be causing that.

I have never had that issue, nor do I have heard of anyone who had that...
Do you have any... "usual" programs or applications running?
Is there any way to find out what the air flow of the fan that came with my Thermaltake Mambo Black case is? All I can seem to find is the speed.

Also, what's the best way to clean dust out of a computer that doesn't involve cans of compressed air?

Well it always happens after i reboot my computer.
These programs start on boot:

And these non-microsoft services:
[img]http://gyazo.com/d4d6773953754dc9c224564db8dddf24.png[/img]
And i doubt it's any of those causing this as i had those running before this problem started to happen and i've even done a fresh windows install due to other problems i had and that problem still persists.
But normally i have running Mobile Partner(My 3G connection manager), Winamp, Windows live Messenger 14.0.8117.416, Firefox4 and none of those have caused this before either, so dunno if it's microsoft update but if it would be i think i wouldn't be pretty much the only person having this problem with windows7.
Google has just given answers to similar problem that happened on Windows XP with people having Dell preinstalled crap.

F-Secure is actually a pretty awesome product nowadays.
And their enterprise solution for deploying new installations is fucking magic.
Somebody tell me, how the fuck do I open ports. Specifically for Terraria MP.

If you wanna be lazy, use Simple Port Forwarding.
What was the Firefox add-on that let me write "g something" on the address bar and pressing enter it would do a google search on "something"?

You don't need an add-on for that. Click Manage search-engines on the search box dropdown and press "Edit keyword" (or something along those lines).

reminds me I need to set keywords for all my search engines in FF.

Why aren't these settings available through the options? I even don't have the search bar so I had to put it back just to change the setting. Anyways there's no need for it at all if I can use keywords.

True; I rarely have the search bar there either. It's just that I did a clean install and haven't bothered to remove it yet.
Besides, it searches using Google in the address bar by default too.

That's not always. I have had cases where I have wanted to search for something, but FF has thought it's a link and tried connecting to the site.
