re - defragging

Has any of you tried "RegistryBooster ", the reviews are a bit mixed.

It boost of fixing a few things ... It conducts deep scans of your registry to check for errors and conflicts, then repairs and optimizes the registry to peak performance and stability. Periodic scans will keep your registry "clean" and will greatly enhance your system's performance and stability. You'll see immediate increases in speed and decreases in system conflicts.

This registry stuff is a load of crap, I am not saying its not true its just that for most people its irrelevant, you should not play with the registry unless you have a problem.

Same is true for defrag really, most modern operating systems don't need it especially as most people now have disk drives that are much bigger that the space they actually use.

Just a quick question i have been having trouble getting onto yahoo mail this last few days is anyone else having the same trouble ???

Mega

No.

No

Thanks gents,i guess it must be this end then.

I can gain access to yahoo mail from IE but not from FF but why the sudden change as i have not altered any setting etc so FFmust be blocking it some how the problem is trying to find out why it all of a sudden is causing a problem.

Its just the one site that is causing the problem,does anyone have any suggestion ???

Just tried yahoo mail on my FF version 3.5.7 and it works fine for me.

MG, try clearing your FF cache, re-open the browser and try again. Might just do the trick.

I have upgraded FF to version 3.6.10 and it works fine with Yahoo mail.

Mega. I had some problems a few months back & I seem to remember that it would work with Mail Classic but not 'new' view of Yahoo Mail. It just sorted itself out one day.
Edit. That was on IE so probably not same problem.

On the question of web-based e-mail systems....

Which is the better of the two, GMail or Yahoo Mail?

Anyone started with one and then changed from that one over to the other?

As an Outlook Express user, I'm also on the look out for the best way of converting from an e-mailing system on my machine to one on the web.

I would also greatly like to store my old e-mails on the web too, and in easily retrievable and readable form.

Gmail is good. Not tried Yahoo. Also if you are running a mobile phone with the Android OS, Gmail is the easiest to set up and use.

I converted from Outlook Express to Yahoo Mail some years ago and mail forwarded the existing emails to myself on the yahoo mail system. I now have them all for reference.

I find Yahoo Mail excellent. I like the amount of storage, being able to retrieve my mail from anywhere, secure & the disposeable email address feature is pretty darned good.

Cleared FF cache out and it works a treat,thanks again for all your suggestions.

Upgraded my AVG anti virus to the 2011 version, since then my PC has slowed down a lot in logging on to sites. Anyone else had this problem and if so any clues as to how to fix it? please
