  1. Review - ChrisTV Lite

    5.30 (Feb 16, 2009)

    Well that didn't go well.

    First it said I would have to update to a paid version because it did not have support for my TV Card with MPEG Hardware Uncoder (Hauppauger 150 card) then I got a screen from my Antivirus saying it was trying to install a Trojan, then it locked up. I also found it had installed a program called RelevantKnowledge, you can opt out but it's real easy to miss.

    I tried it on another computer. This time it installed, but I never could get a proper image. It had bands at the corner and bottom and I could not get the interface to show like it does in the picture (perhaps you have to pay for that?).

    Two systems, 3 TV cards. no luck. It may be me, but it's not worth my time any longer.

  2. Review - PC Wizard

    2008.1.87 (Nov 17, 2008)

    No Graphics Displays for the benchmarking tabs. With the last few updates I had skewed graphics, now none at all. The only version that works for me seems to be 1.84. I've had problems with all the updates since then.

  3. Review - PC Wizard

    2008.1.85.2 (Aug 23, 2008)

    Update: I just installed a new video card and it still locks up on Global Benchmark. I didnt think it would change anything, just thought I would retest it. Funny that it worked great as version 1.84 (which I now use) and locks up with 1.85. If it was driver or compatability issues why didnt it happen with 1.84?

    This version locks up when I try and do a Global Benchmark. I have no problems with version 1.84.

    Version 1.85 reads my core temps, with my E8400, @ 27°/26°.

    Speed fan reads 42°/41° (so does HWMonitor) and Real Temp reads 32°/31°. Version 1.84 shows 42°/41°.

  4. Review - DVD Flick

    1.3.0.0 Build 683 Beta (Aug 22, 2008)

    Unless I'm totally mistaken (and I have been ) this is DVD Flick "Portable", NOT DVD Flick. I had the same errors others are reporting when I tried to install this.

    I'm rating this for the "Portable" version.

    DVD Flick 1.3.0.0 Build 616 (beta) works great.

    EDIT:
    I see rcglidden below commented on the same thing. What is the Portable version about?

  5. Review - VirtualBox

    1.6.4 (Aug 2, 2008)

    Fantastic!
    I have been a bit intimidated by VM products in the past, but this is something that anyone can master. I had it up and running with Ubuntu and Vista on my XP machine in no time.

    Try it!
