King Pitcos Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 My computer's gone awful cuntish about flash videos today. Sometimes it'll be after a few seconds, sometimes after a minute or two, but plugin-container.exe usage gets very high and it starts playing the video very very slowly as the audio carries on as normal. This happens regardless of what else is running at the time. Then if I pause it, the video keeps going until it catches up to where the audio was paused. I've cleared cache, installed new Flash player, restarted and no improvement. I'm in a bad enough mood with this weather as it is, if it's fried my video card we'll be on very bad terms.

BiffingtonClyro Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm constantly having issues with Plugincontainer.exe. They often open multiple times and slow my PC right down. It's incredibly annoying. Youtube lags like fuck. I've attempted to find a fix for the past two years but can't find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted May 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm on the brink of purchasing some Timberland boots from this website, http://www.4timberlandbootsuk.com. There's something in the back of my mind saying that this is a dodgy website or they'll be fakes. Anyone purchased anything from here before? Think they could be fakes? FAQ from the official Timberland website: Â Q: How do I know if I'm buying genuine Timberland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Cheers for that. Something wasn't sitting right with me so I decided not to go ahead. The cheapest I've seen the boots for is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted May 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 27, 2012 Cant articulate this as i'd like to, so bear with me... Does anyone know of any free software i can download to draw with? I have photoshop and can manipulate existing images, add colour etc but i have never managed to master drawing lines, straight or curved with it.  On MSPaint there is the option to draw a line, then manually manipulate it's curve - a feature like that is what im looking for but in software that can produce clean quality images.  So to summise, either after an online programme which is easy to draw lines with, or, can someone tell me how to draw lines in photoshop?  Cheers.  Photoshop has the same pen tool option as Illustrator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if I take a photo of a box that has numerous other things in the background. I want to get rid of those other things so that the box is the only thing visible with a white background (a transparent white background preferably)?

Thank you. I'll have a good look at it, read through some tutorials etc.  With that in mind, does it still work in terms of vector imaging, resizing etc. What format should i save something like that in if i want a master copy i can play with?  Thanks again for your help.

Photoshop isnt a vector based programme. You can create shape layers within it with the pen tool but you are limited to what you can do with them. If you want to keep them in a format you or others can scale and edit then I would suggest saving them as .psd (Photoshop fille) or, if your version of PS will allow it as an Illustrator file.  If you want to see what happens download a vector file off the internet (theres loads of free downloads around) and import it in to see what it does   Is it easy to do? Might download this tonight and see how I get on.  If you've never worked with the pen tool before it will feel very odd and you'll make a lot of mistakes but will quickly pick it up. Best way to get used to it is give it a go.  There are lots of great starter tutorials on Youtube which will teach you the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Dammer Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Does anybody know the best way or place to sell a second hand Laptop? My cousin has asked me to sell his for him, its less than a year old and in perfect condition and im reluctant to take it to CEX or similar or put it on eBay as it looks like it wouldnt get its real value. Any particular places that specialise in this? or anybody got any experience of using eBay or CEX for laptops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
