Software - July 2007

My friend harps on about a shareware/freeware program he's downloaded that automatically frees up memory whenever it goes above a certain point. I always thought that memory automatically freed itself up if it was not being used, or was automatically used by another process if the original process was terminated.

Are these MemBooster/MemClear/RamBuster programs actually worthwhile, or are they the computing equivalent of snake oil?

A garaunteed way to crash my PC. If it's installed, there's no way my PC will restart ... gets to "Your PC is starting up" and that's it. If I restore my PC to before SDS3, it'll startup just like a bought one but sooner or later Software Distribution Service 3.0 rears it's head.

What is it? Why does it re-install all the time? How do I get rid of it? do abuse sending it to me?

Is SPTD.sys involved? if so, same questions apply.
Cheers from Oz

I tried upgrading to Windows Vista and halfway through the process my computer rebooted itself and landed on an empty black screen and remained idle for hours without anything happenning. I already tried doing a fresh installation and the same thing happened again time and time again. What could be wrong? (My laptop is Vista ready and already ran the Windows Advisor)

Hi everyone. My computer runs Vista now. I'm using an old version of ACD-See (V2.41) which IMO is the best software for viewing images. The problem comes when I decide to click and choose folders or files. In such cases, the Vista plays a distracting beep sound most of the time. I had the same problem a number of my older applications as well, but this one really annoys me. Do you anything about such problem?

A few minutes ago a windows message came up (one i see often for other applications) that said that "Dr Watson's Debugger" could not function and was shut down blah blah blah (that one where you close out something that 'isn't responding' and its the error report that comes up after it). I don't have a "Dr Watson's Debugger" that I knowingly downloaded. I do have limewire, but I don't download programs off of the internet often and the last one i did was months ago so I would've noticed any bundled software by now.

I closed out the entire process in task manager, but I cannot find the program on my computer anywhere (and I'm rather advanced at computers than average although not genius). Does anyone know what this is or how I can get to it?

Everytime when I sign out of myspace, it keeps saying "ieexplorer.exe-Application Error
The instruction at "0x7e1f9af3" referenced memory at (some numbers again)The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program"

Can someone please help me how I could get rid of this pop-up from the IE? This always comes out whenever I sign out of myspace and when I close the browser. What should I do? Before this happened, I went to some spam site by accident and it probably got installed something but I'm not really sure..Can anyone help me?

Okay I have a 5g 30gig ipod, it's worked fine since april til two weeks ago, when my computer didn't recognize my ipod, and the ipod's screen was frozen on "do not disconnect"
Well, I finally got it to recognize my Ipod, but all my songs were erased? Then my itunes (the latest download) kept telling me to Restore my ipod, I'd restore it, and then it would do it again, so no matter how many times I restore it, itunes keeps telling me it's in recovery mode.
I'm so dead without my ipod, I really need it to work :( Is there anything I can possibly do?

This happened to me before and I chose Last Known Settings That Worked. Now it doesn't work worth a diddley-poop. I go past the black screen, and then the Windows load bar freezes. This has happened the last three attempts to start it up. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, your answers are very much appreciated!
