Firefox 3 Crash Message Box

When I heard that firefox 3 is launching soon, I was so excited to use this newer version. Just wanted to know what new features they bring with it, and  how faster it will be. I found the firefox 2 makes makes system slower, not only mine, I used to ask my collegue and friends whether theirs too. Their replied was same as mine.

Then I thought, this new version will not be slow like previous one, so I downloaded it on 17 June, 2008 to support to make a history for firefox to set a world record.

I found the firefox 3 was cool, I really love it. About  system slow, umm well better than firefox 2, rest are superb. But I have one more complain, why mine firefox 3 is crashing most of time. Even now I am worrying wheter this window won’t crash and close my window :( .

Need solution, I dont want to see this crash message.

Paint.net – Free image editing software

If you guys are fade up using those heavy size software and high cost software for image editing. And you guys are trying to crack the image editing software then stopped it. Now you guys can use free image editing and photo manipulation software named Paint.NET. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. The size of this software is just 1.35 MB, and you can find lots of tools as other image editing tools. There are a number of plugins that have been made available, and that may be downloaded on our forum. These plugins add new effects and the ability to handle new file types.

Paint.NET. software is started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.

The programming language used to create Paint.NET. is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality.

 

System Requirements

 - Minimum System

  • Windows XP (SP2 or later), or Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2003 (SP1 or later)
  • .NET Framework 2.0
  • 500 MHz processor (Recommended: 800 MHz or faster)
  • 256 MB of RAM (Recommended: 512 MB or more)
  • 1024 x 768 screen resolution
  • 200+ MB hard drive space
  •  64-bit support requires a 64-bit CPU that is running a 64-bit version of Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2003, and an additional 128 MB of RAM

 

Please note that Paint.NET. uses your hard drive to store temporary files related to undo/redo. Because of this, actual disk space requirements will depend on the type of actions you perform on an image, and on the size of the image.
