Make your PC faster! [url=http://www.soluto.com/]Soluto[/url] Soluto is a quick and easy tool to stop startup programs (programs that launch when you log on). I highly recommend this program, I cut about 50% of my launch time with this. It also has this nice tool called the Pc Genome, and it tells you what percent of users did what action (leaving it in boot, or deleting if off of boot). [url=http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner]CCleaner[/url] This application deletes your Temporary files, history, cookies, download history, form history for all browsers you have. It also deletes your Recycle Bin, Recent Documents, Temporary files and Log files, and cleans your registery up. [header]If you have any other programs you use, comment below![/header

No BIOS screen on this old PC So I was reviving an old PC over the weekend, and I was hoping to install Ubuntu, or another distro of Linux. However, I noticed that there was no bios screen upon startup. Basically when I press the startup button, it goes to this splash screen that says "eMachines" (manufacturer), and then goes straight to the Windows XP boot logo. I tried mashing f10 and f12 during the splash screen, but no luck. When I'm in Windows, it does recognize the disc, so I'm not sure what's going on. Help!
