Lamb Chop Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I have this nag screen to change over but also many of my add ons wont work.Thing is I dont need more than one of them and will have to pay for new one that works with FF3.So what I want to know is this - is it worth it? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm surprised you say your FF addons won't work with the later version. I don't have any problems with mine. Which ones is it saying (or you are thinking) won't workIt would be wise to update FF in order to get the better security it offers over the previous versions. There shouldn't be any need to pay for any of them but some do put requests for a contribution to development costs - which you can ignore if you want.

Lamb Chop Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Says these wont work.Cooliris 1.8.5.14749IE Tab 1.3.3.20070528Adobe DLM 1.5.2.19& Download Accelerator 8.0.6.5 which I can pay to update to a version that does work for around US$20. Current version is fine.I think there is probably a newer version of cooliris but I do use the IE Tab and have no idea what Adobe DLM is for!

Alan2273 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Adobe DLM 1.5.2.19, is Adobe reader, try Foxit instaead.http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 For downloads, I use DownLoadThemAll - which is a FF addon. I don't know if this is equivalent to the thing you're using but I find it very helpful.IE Tabs can be obtained from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/se...abs&cat=allCooliris: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/se...ris&cat=allAll of these have December 2008 updates so they should work.I've stopped using Adobe Reader in favour of PDFXchange viewer http://pdf-xchange-viewer.en.softonic.com/Do a backup before you try them - just in case :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I don't use Cooliris but it is still on the web sight, so it will probably update itself to a newer version. I know IE Tab will as I have that with FF3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Another option is to run Help/Check for updates and when the window advising you about FF3 pops up, click the "Never" button on the bottom, it should now stop nagging you.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Adobe DLM 1.5.2.19, is Adobe reader, try Foxit instaead.http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.phpAdobe DLM is the Adobe download manager; you can safely get rid of it.

Dencandy Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Another excellent download manager is Free Download Manager HERE. Integrates seamlessly with IE, no nag screens, no adware, no fee, no problems. Make sure you get it from a site with a green tick though. It will also save videos from YouTube, MySpace and GoogleVideo without a lot of hassle. P.S. I've just checked the FDM home site again with SiteAdviser and it's rated orange. This seems to relate to some older versions. So make sure you get an uptodate & tested copy from a site such as Softpedia (HERE). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can go get updates.thing is though since I had such a shocking experience when my computer got fried and my backups were useless, I havent done any back ups at all.I did buy this little stick that is usb and take 1GB of memory but havent used it as not sure if this is a back up system. or how to do it Or is there a program that even I cant muck up ?

Dencandy Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Lamb Chop, XP has it's own very good back-up utility. Go to All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Back Up. You'll need to study some instructions about how to use it though. A good starting point is Microsoft Help & Support's advice HERE. If you have XP Home you may not see Back Up listed, in which case you'll need to install it from the original disk. The MS article explains how to do that.Vista has the utility in the same location I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
