Update to SIW (system audit), it says it's standalone but it actually installs. My previous version was standalone. http://www.majorgeeks.com/SIW_System_Info_d4387.html

Added "Security" module.
Added WinPE 2.1 Support.
Added <a href="http://www.u3.com/">U3</a> Support.
Enhanced "Updates" module. It shows "Installed Updated" and "Missing Updates". The "Missing Updates" module will connect to windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Enhanced "Ports" module.
Added detection of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007. Thanks to Jan Romanowski.
Fixed "/silent" option.
Support for the latest Intel and AMD CPUs.
Updated device database.
Minor improvements.
Bugfixes.
Installation

BTW on my previous version on old XP laptop, under "Secrets" it showed various passwords etc but with new Vista machine it shows nothing.

New version of Foxit Reader available. I haven't downloaded it yet as I found the site extremely slow. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader_2/down_reader.htm

Cookiemonster · Apr 24, 2008, 23:22:11

Your telling me it's slow....6.6kB/sec

Noreen · Apr 24, 2008, 23:30:51

Decided to stick with it and it's finally downloaded.

Does anyone know if it installs over the top of the existing version or do you have to remove that?

Cookiemonster · Apr 24, 2008, 23:38:12

I just installed it without removing the other one. Think it just writes over but no problems here.

Noreen · Apr 24, 2008, 23:46:59

Thanks jester.
