I should mention that I'm also useing:

Pinnacle Studio 9.x (it's a video editing app)

and...

Nero 5 (looking to upgrade to 7)

Here are some of the programs I'm using now:


Avast! Home Edition (Decided to stop using Norton Systemworks, Avast! is really good considering it's completely free)

McAfee Personal Firewall (I used to use ZoneAlarm Pro, but McAfee's firewall has a nicer interface and works just as well)

Leechget (I used to use GetRight, but I think Leechget is better and again it's completely free)

Spybot Search and Destroy (There might be something better out there by now, but Spybot is still completely free)

Trillian Pro (I'm actually not that fond of Trillian because it's buggy, but it's the only IM program that supports all the different protocols)

Cool Edit Pro 2.1 (Again, there might be something better by now, but the program basically hasn't changed since Adobe took it over)

FFDShow (All-in-one replacement for Divx, Xvid, 3ivx, etc. that works quite well, but I'm not sure I'll keep using it)

StyleXP (Allows you to use non-certified XP Desktop Themes)

XnView (Not sure if I'll keep using it, but it's a pretty nice image viewing program that's similar to ACDsee and once again it's free)

Paintshop Pro 10 (Still a very nice program that's almost as good as Photoshop for a lot less money, but I'm not sure about its future now that Corel took it over)

XP-AntiSpy (Turns off the most annoying features of XP, also completely free)


Well, that's most of what I use. I'm sure I'll think of more stuff later.

Kamui Wrote:RealPlayer (I will always bug DaveTRON about this one. REALPLAYER RULES!)

RealPlayer SUCKS.

It's bloated. It tries to take over all your media playing even if you don't want it. It constantly nags you unless you turn that off. The video quality is no better than any other format.

The only advantage it has is file size . . . the videos are usually pretty small. But that's it for the advantages. I would trash RealPlayer in a heartbeat if I didn't still need it sometimes. Unfortunately, the RealPlayer "Alternative" didn't work all that well for me so I went back to the original player. Yuck.

Sorry, I agree with DT and will have to "agree to disagree" with you on this one.

Let's see, what do I have...

Graphical stuff..

SaintPaint Studio - Kinda like MSPaint on steroids

PhotoImpression - Came with my PC, it works ok for some photo manipulation but it's nothing spectacular

The Gimp - An open-source Photoshop-type program that I am trying to learn to use


Audio/video stuff...


PowerDVD - Came with my DVD drive, I like it.

Interactual DVD player - I use it sometimes, for DVD's that have content that need it.

Winamp - I like it lots...I have plugins that let me watch/listen to pretty much any media file

Quicktime - I have the free player, and I'm thinking about getting Pro.

RecordNow - CD burner that came with my PC. It's ok, but I wana get something like Nero eventually

Instant messaging stuff...

Yahoo - I've had some version of this since I've been on the net

MSN - I'm not on it like I used to be, but I keep it around sine I have friends who don't like yahoo

Trillian - Just got this, I'm still trying to decide if I like it or not.


Real player is annoying. I hate how it tries to set itself up as the default for everything, and in order to turn it off completely, you gotta go into the task manager.

Oh yeah...


FIREFOX ROCKS!!!

Qix77 Wrote:I'm also not a fan of Real networks. I only have it because there are rare audio files that I have only in .ram format. I'm still trying to find a ways to convert them to .wav. But hey... whatever works... I love winamp because it's simple, moddable, and it doesn't bug the snot out of you... and it doesn't run as a background program unless you install Wild-Tangent. Oh... how much I hate WT... I so love FireFox... I've been using it of almost a year now and it has have to best features. Plus the extentions are so great. As long as mozilla is doing good, then FireFox should always be doing good. I also use Thunderbird... It's ok... One feature I like about it is that if any spam leaks through your spam guard, then you can flagg it as trash and is always sent there everytime you recieve it... Thanks guys for the app input. I'll try some of them out. I got Gimp but I haven't used it yet. As for Cool Edit Pro.... It is now Adobe Audition. Adobe bought out the Cool Edit guys... I have the demo, and it's really nice. I'm going to be making music with it. I never used Endorphine or Vegas before... I'll go check them out.... Thanks, Kamui... Ok... Keep them comming...

Vegas = A video editing program a lot like Movie Maker.... on Steriods

Endorphine = Creates realistic 3D animations of people falling, collisions and stuff. Really cool but expensive and hard to find.

And hey! I love my real player! It'll always have a soft spot with me.

I'm SO SICK of the following....

1.) Programs that will not allow you to run unless you first connect to their server first... (I have old software that I spent $100+ on and I can no longer use).

2.) Software that wants to run into the background without your consent.. (What the hell do these developers think? That I built my computer just to use their software? Those pugey bastards!!!)

3.) [edited by Qix77] --- it was uncalled for.

4.) Spyware (no brainer)

5.) Software which is uninstalled but leaves a lot of crap behind. (This isn't really an issue but read number 6)

6.) Softice, after uninstalled, does not allow my computer to boot properly... (I can't get the XP boot logo to show and 'BootXP' can not fix the issue.)

If anyone else is pissed off like I am, we should start a group and demand an end to this BS..... Who's with me?

[Edited by Qix77] ...this was also uncalled for.

lol... that last part was funny....

CCleaner is really a nice freeware program. What it does is find useless files and reg. keys on your computer and gets rid of them. It is also a nice uninstaller and very easy to use.

I'm still looking for a bunch of nifty programs and if I find anything else I think you guys might be intrested in, I'll post them here...
