I can't find a "download dir" folder after entering the "avg8" one. And I tried updating manually, but it still says the same thing...

my bad, an "update" folder maybe ?
Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\avg8\update\download directory

I guess all these files are *.bin (don't delete them)
maybe the .ctf is a hidden file there :/
is your "show hidden files" folder option checked ?

I don't have avg so I can't help more sry =(

shadowstar · « **Reply #2165 on:** November 03, 2009, 11:56:33 AM »

Yeah, it's only set on read-only, but hidden option is unchecked.

Ack! Now I'm worried. I'm paranoid when it comes to viruses and stuff and if AVG won't update...

I meant this option :

tools/options/view

shadowstar · « **Reply #2167 on:** November 03, 2009, 01:01:01 PM »

The same files show up, nothing new...

Sigh. What anti-virus can you recommend that's as good or better?

how do i fix this? im trying to uninstall borderlands cuz it wouldnt install properly but i cant remove it

^ Try a system restore to the point before this setup started

Asmodai · « **Reply #2172 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:55:56 PM »

Alternatively, use regedit and delete the Borderlands entries. Probably a bit more involved though.

Strange, but maybe your install was from before that point?

Anyway, maybe on gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/borderlands/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-51966869&pid=942811

Seems more people have the uninstall problem.
The problem: I can't really read the message as the pic will not load for me.

Mugen · « **Reply #2175 on:** November 05, 2009, 11:42:15 PM »

yea i did that didnt do anything lol.

Is there a dummy-proof method to downloading Hulu content? All sorts of Flash trickery now implemented...

HELP! Have a Dell Precision Workstation 370, orange light, excessive fan noise, p.s. not the power supply fan, but the other one powered by the motherboard, the case cooling fan.

Thats a normal size desktop, should be able to use a standard 8 or 12 cm fan you can get at any computer supply show.

The problem might be replacing it in the case, DELL uses its own 'easy to use' brackets.

^I think think that the fans really the problem now. I had 2 computers of the same model. I swapped the fan and it still did the same thing. So I guess it's not the fan, but the motherboard, either that or some how the computer reads high temperature and kick the fan into overdrive...
