    Just what is Acceller
    « on: March 21, 2008, 06:51:39 AM »
    I have an emachines (model 3642) that came loaded with WV and I need help with a few of the programs on it.

    1. Exactly what is Acceller? Does this have anything to do with the speed the computer achieves?

    2. What is BigFix?

    3. My sound manager informs me there is no recording device. Is that something that is necessary or is it like external for the microphone?

    4. An Icon in my bottom bar is telling me to 'Launch IE Browser". What browser am I using now. I am also using AOL as my ISP.

    Thanks for the feedback.

      Accelor from what i could find may be an ISP...IInternet Service Provider.
      Who is your ISP ? ?
      BigFix looks like one of those monitoring programs that promises to fix everything on your machine and simplify your life....rarely does this happen.
      How old is this machine and where did you purchase it ? ?

      It basically looks like it came with a bunch of pre-installed software.
      This happens alot with big retailers.

      BigFix....I used to use it. It was pretty handy tool, which was monitoring your computer for available updates of any kind. Unfortunatelly, few years ago, it went corporate, and doesn't serve ordinary people anymore. In corporate world, it's a big player, though.

        The computer was purchased from "Best Buy".  And, you aren't kidding about a bunch of preinstalled things.  In four days my scanner was scanning more than 400,000 things. And for someone like me who has no idea how to properly or even what to properly load, it's a nightmare. And the techs at emachines seem totally incompetent. I

         had to get the "Geek Squad" to help me with my audio problem after two techs had taken RC of my computer and still I had no audio. And to make matters worse. They don't have a toll free line.

        Anyway, I was asking about the Acceller program because it sounds like it may control the speed of some things on here. My emulators are running at uncontrollable speeds and they weren't doing that on my old comp.

        I think she lost her V-Card again, as the monitor went dark and said, no input or no cable connetion; same as it did the first time when I had to replace the V-Card. So I just got something new.  Broni, I wish I could send you the old one so that you could find out what the repair ppl down here couldn't.

        So Broni, knowing me, do you think I should use the BigFix. I think it needs to be installed. Shoot I don't even have IE launched. I'm sad I know
         I need a tutoring mentor. :(

        I'm sure I'll be back...

        As I said, BigFix doesn't work for regular people anymore.
        You may want to post HijackThis log, so we can see what's running on your computer. We'll go from there.

          It's been a while so work with me while I download the tool again.  I'll need to find the thread and the instructions to download HJT.

            Broni, aren't there a few steps between downloading and posting. I do recall having to make a folder and stuff.

            No. This version of HJT comes with installer, so you don't have to worry about creating a folder.

                  I have to do the darned thing over. The ctrl+c button wouldn't copy and when I repeated the highlight it caused the text to vanish. So between 4 and 16 are gone.

                      There is nothing malicious there, and I don't see any unnecessary startups beside BigFix. You can uninstall that thing.
                      Is Norton your AV, and firewall, because it's not clear from the log?

                        My AV?

                        Norton came with the computer as a 60 day trial. 

                        How often should one run HJT and post the scan in here?

                        If I am usin AOL's browser, should I have IE launched? It has been said about IE that it attracts bugs and such. Is that true.

                        Broni, is there a forum here that will teach me how to make a desk top folder and more importantly, how to download items from my mailroom to it? 

                        Thanks Broni...

                          Okay, Broni, my deal with some of these things may be there compatibility with Pogo.com. A game site where I am a paying member and am already having problems loading images from some of their games.  I don't know zip about these systems so I'm trusting you.

                          What are the downsides to having Firefox rather than IE? Others have advised that I get this but will it limit me in any way. I am already crippled by my illiteracy.

                          They won't. The steps, I posted for you are easy. Nothing will happen. You can always post a question back here, if any doubts.

                          Not to "have", but to "use". You can't uninstall IE, so you're gonna have two browsers, which is perfectly fine, and you'll be using Firefox.
                          Downsides? Yeah, there are IE downsides. It's less safe, and it often causes problems with hard to find solutions.
                          On a top of it, Firefox has hundreds of very useful add-ons.
                          Trust me, you'll love it.

                            I just left a search for Mozilla vs. Internet Explorer, people seem to be happy with FF especially the younger gen. and males. There seems to be some question about using FF with Java. I do a lot of game site and I don't want to have to constantly turn anything on or off.

                            I don't think that I have launched IE as yet. At least my system bar has an icon asking me to launch IE. I haven't gotten any downloads from Windows so i don't think it is up. When I got my reformats back in the fall, Windows sent me like 80 downloads in one session.

                            Look Broni, I want to do what will be most efficient to my game sites and ask the least of me when it comes to add on or plug ins or whatever. I'm all about worry free internet.

                            Okay, deep breath.

                              I did go into the control panel and unistalled BIGFIX. I'll do some checking about FireFox. I have no problem with uninstalling Norton and putting AVG in. I just have to get it done.

                                Emachines support sent me this piece about Acceller:

                                http://www.acceller.com/about_press.html

                                Acceller is in my "All Programs" but it listed with simply a folder by it. Does that mean it is not running and therefore not needed? If so does it need to be deleted or just left alone. It is not in my "Control Panel".

                                Thanks.

                                By the way, I'm still considering the Mozilla in view of the possibility of it not working with Java. Games Sites require Java don't they?

                                No, Acceller is not running. You may leave it alone.
                                When you install Java, it installs for ALL browsers, so it doesn't matter, which browser you use.

                                  Hey Broni, thanks for the input. Broni, I'm so tired...I've been working with EA Sports and Symantec all day trying to figure out why nothing seems to allow me to load images from some of the pogo.com games. Nothing they do works. (real heavy sigh)

                                  Have you tried Firefox, yet?
                                  It may work better, then useless phone calls.

                                    That's one of the major problems Broni, They're phone help is automated or very costly. So I'm working with live chat via remote control of my computer. And Broni, please don't bust my chops about Mozilla. I to frustrated to shrug it off. I have a headache and am pushing back tears now.  :(

                                    Later dude, another msg from EA Sports....

                                      What do you guys know about Java Virtual Machine? Do you think it can solve my problems in pogo.com and now yahoo games as well.

                                      Java Virtual Machine was Micro$oft answer for Sun Java. Due to legal issues (M$ was sued by Sun), Java Virtual Machine is no longer supported. You still may download it, but due to security issues, it's not advisable.
