IE8 Internet Explorer 8 search provider selection
Recently had several clients with issues where the search provider selection site did not scroll. IE8's new search engine provider screen now alphabetically lists several search engines that you can select from. The error shows only the 2 top search engines and does not scroll.

After uninstalling IE9, IE8 would not allow me to select the search engine provider I wanted.I found a alternative...

Telepacific Customer Service
Telepacific installed a T1 service which I did not order. I never plugged the router in and requested that they correct the issue back in 2005. (You can read some background in one of my previous posts here.)The whole issue caused us to drop Telepacific as a vendor and move on to other providers. However, today, we are still being plagued by this credit. When we planned our move to a new location, we contacted Telepacific for information on a move, but before I let them process anything, I requested...

League of Legends and Pando Media Booster
League of Legends (LoL) also comes with pmb.exe Pando Media Booster. Apparently this comes with most online gaming installs. The problem with Pando Media Booster is that it continues serving in Bittorrent fashion the install files even after the software is installed. This can greatly impede your internet performance. The nice thing is that after you've installed the game, you can easily uninstall Pando Media Booster and future updates will continue without any problems.I wouldn't have a problem...
