| VideoHelp.com - Forum, Guides, Tools and hardware lists - for lots of video, dvd, audio help, advice and tools www.oldversion.com - for all those older versions of programs that you used to use - especially good if you don't like the 'upgraded' version of something and the previous versions are no longer available.

| Irfanview is a great piece of software for batch conversions of graphic files IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide [Edit] I stumbled across this when looking for something to read postscript graphics files that had been sent to me by a graphics designer using a mac. Irfan view works great with ghostscript for doing this Ghostscript: Ghostscript Website Last edited by Carlb : 27-03-08 at 09:24 AM. |

| SharePod Better than ITunes manages your music files better and allows you to upload and download from other machines etc.

| For those that don't want to have illegal copies of Photoshop, there is only one alternative: GIMP GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program Another very useful utility for finding those stupidly large temp files you often end up with, you know, the ones that fill the hard drive, is a fantastic program called Jdisk. I probably use this at least once a week and it really helps in managing your files: JDiskReport Rob

| Tversity. This enables you to stream all of your music, photos & videos from your PC to TV via a wifi enabled games console such as PS3 or Xbox 360. TVersity » Home Basically, if you can play it through MS Media Player on your PC, you can stream it to your TV. |

| OK, I use some of the ones already mentioned such as GIMP and Irfanview, but here's some more of my favourites: Open office - alternative to Micro$oft Office. Does word, excel and powerpoint stuff. AVG Free - Antivirus ZoneAlarm Free - Firewall Adaware Free - Adware/spyware cleaner PDF redirect - Creates PDF documents from anything you can print CCleaner - Cleans temp files and registry entries as well as tracks. 7 Zip - creates and opens compressed files like .zip .rar etc Opera - Browser - they also do a great version for mobiles using WAP. They should get most computers doing most of what you need. I've never found a decent alternative to Outlook though, that can do calendar, email, to-do and address book and sync with mobiles. Arfie |
