I think it was that internet filter update... the windows update was KB2570791 which fixes some clock related issues... And I usually install all the "Important" updates... They are made to fix things that go wrong if they are not installed. The "Optional" updates, only if I need any (most of...

What do I mean by what?

In the last 3 days, I've been having some serious trouble with the computer, more exactly with Windows 7 (Ubuntu seems to be working just fine). I had 3 or 4 crashes in the first day, and one every other day... (Good thing that I use Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut after every line, so no important...

UPDATE: screenshots Firefox: IE:

Lately, I've been having this weird problem with the browsers: Firefox displays arial, and some other system fonts in bold, and IE is making them italic. It looks very ugly, and it is hard to read. What could be the problem? I'm using Windows 7, latest Firefox, IE8. It's not with the...
