:confused: Don't you like to check out the programs you are using? How else will you know what it can do?

On the mainscreen go to tools ---> options ---> connections. It's right there, the only choice in the section. Uncheck the box.

And of course hit Apply...

thank you. i looked around but i guess not thoroughly enough.

fwy September 17th, 2004 02:08 PM

actually, i already disabled connecting automatically upon starting the program. What i actually want is to stop the whole limewire program from opening upon starting windows. any idea how?

stupididiot69er September 17th, 2004 02:37 PM

tools, options, advanced, system startup
than uncheck it and click apply. and your done

Lord of the Rings September 17th, 2004 02:41 PM

Tools-Options-Advanced-System Startup & untick the option box. Heck I must have been slow answering that. My comps working real slow but wow!

Thank you!

stupididiot69er September 17th, 2004 03:00 PM

not a problem, and lord maybe you should think of upgrading your comp and internet connection, you'll like it fast like heck

Lord of the Rings September 17th, 2004 03:06 PM

The reason my comp's slow is b/c I'm simultaneously encoding 2 videos in separate apps plus using 4 other apps. On any comp that will slow things down. I'd love a g5 though. As for connection, yeah it's slow but I'm upgrading in a mth or 2. It just keeps being postponed.

stupididiot69er September 17th, 2004 03:22 PM

so that's why now i know your comp shouldn't be slow compared to others and i also which to buy a G5 i'd like a mac to be able to help people more precisly that have macs, and also to do many other things.....

Lord of the Rings September 17th, 2004 03:32 PM

macs r not cheap! But they've always had a graphics advantage over pc's even though that diff is not so much nowadays. I prefer the way the processor handles data & they way the os handles ram. Not to mention windows was a copy of a version of macos that was decided to not be used. mac is designed to be easy to use. But depending on how u use it, it can be less than easy as well if you get further down to low level os use. eg-unix, scripting, etc. But it can depend whether you're a novice or not at that level.

stupididiot69er September 17th, 2004 04:02 PM

hmm thanks for the info lord really appretiated, you see i've never even seen a mac before in my life but I'd like to try it out whatever the cost

murasame September 17th, 2004 06:07 PM

Speaking of G5 (and completely out of subject), have you guys seen the new G5 iMac? Boy, I'm gonna get me on of those (...). In my dreams I already have one, hehe :p

Lord of the Rings September 17th, 2004 06:21 PM

Again, totally out of topic, I've seen pics of it. But still, I'd prefer expansion room. I'd eat the whole cake.

murasame September 17th, 2004 06:47 PM

Yeah, that is a problem, but they say in the Apple site that you can open it up by removing the back. Maybe it can get some expansions like RAM (much like the G4 iMac can)

stupididiot69er September 17th, 2004 06:57 PM

yeah i'd like expantion room two i always add in stuff(totally out of subject but oh well)
I'll research on it a little

Lord of the Rings September 18th, 2004 09:02 AM

The original iMacs had everything moulded together in a tin can so to speak. If any component had a problem, then it could be a major issue. Plus not much in the way of expansion. But iMacs have gradually been getting better in regards to expansion - at least for ram such as up to 1.5 GB. But if you wanted xtra hdd space you'd have to go for an external. Also no space for specialist cards.

murasame September 18th, 2004 10:34 AM

Yeah, RAM or Airport. You have to choose b/w the two.
I heard though that some high-speed HDs can actually be faster than the built-in HD. Weird... But if that's the case (and provided that the HDs in question don't cost a billion bucks) then I wouldn't mind getting one.

stupididiot69er September 18th, 2004 12:06 PM

I wouldn't ind getting one of them either but what to you mean by airport. I'm not familiar with mac terms and heven't had enaugh time to research but with you guys who needs it!!

Lord of the Rings September 18th, 2004 12:36 PM

murasame most ext hdd's for mac are firewire. If you have a g4 I wouldn't go usb, the usb cards in g4's were very, very slow (12 MBit/s.) HDD's where I am have certainly been coming down in price over the past couple yrs.

That's where the planes come to land in the harbour. They need to be waterproof though. You mean you've never been (swimming) at an airport. It is a wireless network.

stupididiot69er September 18th, 2004 04:52 PM

I think I get what air port means in relation with a mac....
and now thanks I know I should get firewire cause dam 12 mb'spersec is slow.

murasame September 19th, 2004 04:37 AM

I know my friend, I know. The only USB stuff I have are the keyboard, the mouse and a MIDI keyboard I use sometimes.
