*Insert string of expletives here* take a deeeeeeep breath.. and... out!
Ok.. for the uninitiated, there are several programs that are required before one can say 'ok, we're running FINE here!'
So.. installed this week:
QuickTime (without the iTunes player),
DiVx (video... essential in some respects),
RealPlayer (some sites require that you have it)
And most important: java!! (and remember to install the update first... you can then remove the old installations after without losing a single setting!)
I also ensured that my flash player was up-to-date (this is so needed if you want to visit places like youtube and the likes..!)
And now, I can safely say that everything here is running as fine as it should be...
I know there's probably stuff I should be further looking at, but for the moment, I got this laptop running the stuff it needs to run to function....
Should I ever get a call that I'm needed anywhere, I can charge this baby up, pack what is needed and do the necessary
