**Flag Of Our Fathers**  
Caught Flag Of Our Fathers last week, it was quite a touching movie and alongside with it, it was quite gory. But overall it was not too bad of a show. It is more of a documentary than a action war movie like Black Hawk Down. And it is the first time I knew something called war bonds. LOL. Anyway, Black Hawk Down is still the best war movie I had seen.

**Formatting Computers**  
I have been formatting 3 computers within the last 4 days.

I have formatted my own computer back to Windows XP due to the lag that Windows Vista gave to my computer/

My brother just got his laptop from the Starhub promotion and I uninstalled hell lots of softwares that HP came along with the laptop and installed all those softwares that he needed. Seriously I fucking hate branded computers because of those stupid softwares they bundled with the computer. I like my computer clean and not bloated with ANY softwares that I will not use.

The software I hate to installed most is Nero, because it will install so much shit (Nero Scout and Nero Search) into my computer even though I have only selected Nero Burning Rom in the custom installation.

**How to remove Nero Scout:**  
Go to Start -> Run -> Type In:

> regsvr32 /u “%commonprogramfiles%\\Ahead\\Lib\\MediaLibraryNSE.dll”

Note: It is all in 1 line.

**How to remove Nero Search:**  
Go to Start -> Run -> Type In:

> Cmd.exe /c regsvr32 /u /s “%ProgramFiles%\\Common Files\\Ahead\\Lib\\NeroSearch.dll” && regsvr32 /u /s “%ProgramFiles%\\Common Files\\Ahead\\Lib\\NeroSearchBar.dll” && regsvr32 /u /s “%ProgramFiles%\\Common Files\\Ahead\\Lib\\NeroSearchTray.dll”

Note: It is all in 1 line.

Last but least, the 3rd computer I have formatted is today when my mom crash her office computer but offing the electricity when Windows XP hung instead of holding on to the on/off button.
