Sorry, yes, the Kaspersky rescue disk.

I don't see Driver Sweeper listed.
It has been changed to DriverFusion from a new software company called Treexy and there is still a free version.
Treexy - Software for everyday use

During the install there is a pre-checked option to install RealPlayer, if you don't want it, uncheck it.

Just for information.
You can download the older version of Driver Sweeper from Seven Forums link: Driver Sweeper

Thanks Dave. What is the URL?

How does this version compare to the older driver sweeper? Does it still do the job or I got to pay for it to work correctly?

I haven't used Driver Fusion yet bbut the GUI appears to be very similar to Driver Sweeper.

I've tried STDU Viewer in the free program list to view search image PDFs.
Good in principle but flaky for me. I get multiple application errors when simply using the Browse function.
A good free reliable alternative would be nice.

Delayed Cuts 1.3.2.0

Delayed Cuts takes the straight-ahead approach to starting programs with a delay. It's a simple ListView. To add items drag and drop shortcuts onto the List. It only accepts shortcut files(.lnk) which ensures each program has the means to start with all the options it needs.

When dropping multiple shortcuts it offers to set the delay 10 seconds apart. You can modify the delay of individual items by selecting the first column of a row and pressing F2 function key. It also has ReGap Buttons to automatically increment the delay for items after the selected by 5 or 10 seconds.

A Context Menu is available with Move To Top, Cut, Paste, and Move To Bottom.

How it works. After you save the List, a shortcut to the loading program, Delayed Load, is placed in the user's Startup Folder. This program reads the data file and launches each item when the delay is up. It slides up a panel which tells the name of the next program that will launch. To skip a program just double click the Delayed Load Tray Icon.

You may download from this page:
www.favessoft.com/downloads.html

Here's a screen shot.

It's free for you to use at your own risk. See the top of any of my site's pages for the section Requirements. Also a Readme.txt is included in the zip. Additional usage info is shown by pressing F1 while Delayed Cuts window has the focus.

Hum haven't seen this one listed and is a bit better than WMP at least there is some adjustment. Plus I can get rid of the Xonar card.

If anyone else tries can you post back with how you find it.

At the end of tracks i get a break then the finish and amjust wondering if it my machine or this program.

Foobar2000 - CNET Download.com

http://www.jriver.com/mj/

Thank you John, but foobar2000 is already listed.

No worries Shawn that jriver knocks spots off it don't need that pesky Xonar card now WOO HOO!!

Shawn I found this - without having to scroll through the posts how will I know if anything I have found is not already in here please?

Anyhow UNLOCKER 1.9.1 BY CEDRICK 'NITCH' COLLOMB

Oh if you look down the page there are more apps haven't been through them yet but....

Easiest is to use the Search This Thread Button next to where it says Thread Tools. Some time back that search was broken. But it seems to be working now. That should pick up any items that aren't in the large font list prepared by Brink.
