I'm trying to install software that I downloaded from torrent, but I'm stuck on the following step: "Copy this patcher to your installed directory and run it from there to remove the activation."

Could someone please explain to me how to do this?

Thanks.

You know when you copy a link from YouTube and put it on your own site or something, you can have it displayed in 2 ways: 1 way is just to see the link itself, and then you can click on it, go to youtube and see the video like that....but there is also a 2nd way of doing it which is to like see the video there...its like already there on your page, just in "pause" mode and all you have to do is click in the middle of the video to start to get it to load and play.

So i was just wondering does anyone know how the 2nd method works....am i supposed to copy a special kind of link or enter it in a specific place in the programming code...or?

I'm not looking for anything too big. A fairly small laptop would be nice, but will be willing to buy a big one if worse comes to worse.

Here's the thing: I downloaded this certain anime entitled Paradise Kiss. The download is perfectly great! The audio and video quality is perfect! Nothing was wrong with it. But when I burned it into a VCD (by the way I'm using Nero StartSmart) whenever I enable the full screen mode, the video quality becomes really bad (kinda blurry). However, when I downloaded it, whenever I enable the full screen mode, it still looked perfect. So my question is, how can you prevent this?

A Geek Squad guy told me that my Dell Inspiron 600m was infected with the sdbot trojan virus. I used Ctrl+f11 at boot to do a "factory restore," where it wipes and re-formats your hard-drive so that the computer acts like its right out of the box.

Is there any chance that sdbot survived? Nothing bad's happened, I'm just nervous.

And also, should I be wary of re-attaching my external hard drive? All it has on it are music files and Word documents; is there any way that they could've been infected, too?
