[QUOTE=kaze4159;27726662]Probably Steam's .gcf files, try Defragging them from inside the properties menu[/QUOTE] There were a couple files from Steam. There was also some from Battlefield 2 as well as some smaller files. I think a lot of the space came from when I deleted temp and log files. When I finished the entire thing, I went from about 4 blocks of free space to about 70 or 80.

I got £10 for fixing a guy's computer, we became friends and played on my others friends PS3 on LBP2

Got a guy come in today telling us to fix his computer. In his hands was a monitor. Also a couple of weeks back we had someone else come in with a laptop. He told us to clean it up, but he said to not add any cleanup programs or get rid of anything, just add RAM. That's a bit like saying clean my room up but don't move anything.

Christ 52x CD drives are loud. It's installing Ubuntu at the other side of the room and I can't hear anything :argh: Does anyone know how a NIC can prevent the computer from displaying anything? Because when I plug it in, it POSTs and boots fine but there's no image.

My friend's Mac's "Logic Board" (fancy name for motherboard) broke, - Sent it to Apple (and got it replaced) - Next day he sends it back. Turns out the morons at Apple short-circuited his "Logic Board" and now he has to pay for the second replacement.

Well, Ive just had to use teamviewer to help a friend install a minecraft texture pack. Anyhow, after seeing his 9 toolbar thick internet explorer I just had to clean out his laptop for him. I removed a dodgy scam antivirus that found 13 issues where no other program did, cleared 10Gig of crapware and replaced his theme, he had a bright snot green wallpaper and a snot green tinted aero theme. The thing actualy boots under a minute now and looks good. Job done.

[QUOTE=Tools;27731456]Macs are used in great enterprices, by musicians, movie producers, and so on. They also averagely cost more. It's also got a reputation of having no viruses. It's the logical choice to make a virus for. No matter how you put it, you're gonna end up with some piece of information that can have great value for the rest of the world. Where with Windows, you're lucky if you'd end up with somebody's WoW account or facebook, which is worthless. But whatever, just keep telling yourself there's no viruses for mac.[/QUOTE] "hurr durr maks ar artistik" The majority of Mac users are idiotic home users - just like Windows!
