[H] Checking to see when a program was uninstalled

2009-12-10 Thread Thane Sherrington
I have a client who apparently installed Firefox and later 
un-installed it.  There is an argument about who un-installed it, and 
I was thinking that if I could find the uninstall in the event log, 
then I could probably figure out who did it.  Is there a way to find 
uninstalls in the event log?

Hmmm...Looks like Windows only tracks stuff uninstalled or installed 
using Windows installer.  So it doesn't work for FireFox.

Thanks for the reply Fred; yeah headphones get into a whole 'nother realm of
crazy (like my friend who spent $5k on his headphone listening system b/c
he didn't have the place or money to build a proper listening room and deck
it out with the speakers he would want for that! :P), but I also like having
5.1 for games and stuff...

What have other folks out there done for computer speaker systems?  Just
bought the rather expensive Logitechs or just eschewn the whole 5.1 category
and gone 2 or 2.1 like PC Mag was saying (which I still find hard to

If you get infected with the Google Redirect virus/Tdss Trojan like I just did, 
you'll actually get infomercials playing through your headphones like I did!

[H] Router recommendations?

I have a friend at work that needs to buy a router and doesn't want to spend

I know that he will not load anything else on the router.

 

Any suggestions?

Only really because you can put custom firmware on it ( dd-wrt ).  If you don't 
care
about custom firmware, find one with good ratings and the following:

300Mbit max ( for N speeds ) and a gigabit switch for the lan otherwise
100Mbit (LAN)  300Mbit ( WIFI ) and what's the point :)

I still use a few WRT54G units and have no issues.  When I want to transfer 
large files
I use a wired connection.
