I daren't tell Sue, that would see my bandwidth allowance disappear.

Justina is still asleep so I'm ok for now bandwidth wise, currently cruising around Mars

, she has had a rough week hence not being about much.

Sorry to hear that, Gary.

Google Earth 5 released, version 5.0.11733.9347 now out of beta and with lower memory usage for 3d buildings plus many other fixes such as stopping crashes when switching from Earth to Mars.

Release notes here

Thank, Gary, just updating now on the Mac. I'm surprised to see the new version is for all platforms - usually us poor Mac users have to wait!

poor Mac users

Presumably poor because of Apple's high prices?!

Rik · May 16, 2009, 12:56:01

Touché.

Sebby · May 16, 2009, 14:15:52

No comment!

Cheers, Rik. It's been a long few weeks now, and once again sorry for the late reply. She has had to have a whole host of blood tests etc, waiting on the results now

Google got their act together over this one, it seems more companies are with Macs now in general, which can only be a good thing. It must look great on that screen

New NOD32 v4 update, details here. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=242837

Rik · May 22, 2009, 10:15:52

Thanks, Noreen. I'd better fire up the Sammy.

Has any one installed this yet, I've just downloaded and tried to install and keeping getting errors about having insufficient privileges to modify files.

. So I'm sticking with v 417 for the time being.

Sebby · May 22, 2009, 10:30:00

Which OS?

Ray · May 22, 2009, 10:31:18

Windows XP Pro, Sebby.

Sebby · May 22, 2009, 10:34:00

Hmm, can't see why you'd have a problem then unless you're account does not have admin privileges.

Rik · May 22, 2009, 10:38:34

It does seem odd in XP, doesn't it.

Noreen · May 22, 2009, 10:42:45

Some people seem to be having various problems with the update. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=242804

Rik · May 22, 2009, 10:52:34

There's always pain...

Ray · May 22, 2009, 11:41:59

Problem solved, though I don't know why it should be a problem, I was running the installer from a share on my server which I've always done before, successfully, so I've just copied the installer to my desktop and and tried running it from there, and it installed OK.

Rik · May 22, 2009, 11:57:19

Computers, eh.

Frustrating beasts at times, aren't they? Rik.

Rik · May 22, 2009, 12:13:33

Most times, Ray. Much as I've enjoyed using them, they have driven me to distraction at times.

Sebby · May 22, 2009, 16:57:16

NOD32 seems to have quite a lot of problems when it comes to updates.

Simon · May 22, 2009, 17:01:36

Yes, load of rubbish, Seb. I wouldn't touch it.

Sebby · May 22, 2009, 17:02:36

It's nice not to need antivirus...
