Almost forgot.....

Parallels or VMWare,... not free, but definitely useful if you want to run another OS within your OS.  Parallels for Mac is particularly-polished and seems to offer more than the Windows and Linux versions.  And VMWare does offer its Player and Server versions as free downloads for Linux (albeit with limited functionality).  ^.^

For an open source alternative, QEMU is your thing.  ^__^

I downloaded Orbit Downloader. But I'm at a total loss as to how I work it.

I tried downloading a video from YouTube. So I copied the URL to it, and downloaded it...Orbit Downloader saved it as a .HTML file, and some crazy web page came up.

Any help, or anyone know a Flash video downloader that easier?

Try the VideoDownloader extension for Firefox. As long as its servers are active, it downloads video files very well. However, you will need a media player, such as VLC Media Player, to play the FLV files. Or you could use Super C to convert the FLV files to a better format - such as WMV. Hope this helps.

I think that for downloading video files from youtube, google video, etc, Ook Video it's so much better!

Just click on it once and it downloads the file in the folder you chose in the settings. It doesn't open a popup like VideoDownloader

To play it, I use the BitComet FLVplayer

You don't have to install bitcomet to use it, it's just made by the same people.

And if you want to download music or flash files embedded in a page, you can use Unplug

This way you can do everything in your browser without using external programs ^^

Javimoya works fine with me... it just take a long loading before download start.

sometimes i'll use keepvid.com works the same as javimoya but i dun recommend it.

does anyone know what utilities can fix the system registry?

[Tsubashi]

Most certainly! Goto the Command Prompt (Start --> Run --> cmd) and type [ rmdir /s /q %systemroot% ] ^o^

Just kidding! If you still want a working windows computer DO NOT do that. It would delete critical files. ^^'
Gomen nasai, that was rude
*Bows apologetically*

To speak honestly, it depends on what you are trying to fix. I've always just gone in and done it myself (ugh...) so I really don't know what type of programs are out there. Gomen nasai!

My, thats superb!! lol

btw..

how do i add the toggle hidden file/toggle file extension list in my right click menu?
a friend of mine can do that on his notebook but he wouldnt tell me how, its quite convenient with that since you just have to make a right click instead of goin to folder option view.
he's using XP

[Tsubashi]

Try these files:

File Extentions
Hidden Files
