LGSoftwareInnovations - The home of 1Click DVD and other software


If you are reading this page you are probably aware of the fact that 1Click are in the business of selling refrigerators to the Eskimos (Inuit). You don't need their products to copy DVDs and you certainly don't if you were using another product such as DVD43 and find that it doesn't work on Windows 7 64 bit. DVD43 works perfectly well on a 64 bit computer in a Virtual Machine. A Virtual Machine is not only free, if you Windows 7 XP-Mode, but it is easy to setup.

The DVD43 Plug-In is supposedly a 64 bit solution to the problem with DVD43 not working with 64 bit systems. It is available, only, from the the DVD43 download site. 1ClickDVD are trying to make out that this is provided by an independent source.

GeoIP - the restriction of content on the Internet by Geographic location

All things relating to GeoIP circumvention and implementation

Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement

The ACTA - What it means to you and me.

This has taken on a number of faces around the world - or at least the response of regional administrations on how they approach it.

May also be referred to as the Anti Copyright Trade Agreement. This would make no sense as the general useage is for the protection of copyright not the Anti-copyright movement.

Content Farm


A Content Farm is a website that contains information scrapped from other websites on the Internet. Often there is no additional content provided by the website owner and the sole purpose is to generate revenue by getting you to visit in the first place and then visit a link that has been placed on such a site.

A prime example of this the eHow website.

Unlock the power of your Netbook

You cannot do this by upgrading from Windows 7 Starter Edition or figuring out a way to display hidden BIOS options.

I run many Windows 7 computers with Windows Starter Edition through Home Premium to Professional. I have not noticed any big difference between any of the versions of the operating system for the work that I perform.

The biggest short coming of Windows Starter Edition is that you cannot customize the theme (background image, window appearance and screen-saver).

Professional allows you to join a domain in networking, however, I get the feeling that this would not be a problem if I needed to join a corporate network. As far as the security and the backup options offered by Professional - I don't use them.

Your Netbook is likely to have an Insyde H2O BIOS. This will mean that you will have limited options on the BIOS screens. You will not be able to enable Hardware Virtualization or change any of the processor and memory settings.
As such you will not be able to overclock your Netbook.
I have an Asus Netbook that has Super Hybrid Engine that allows the overclocking and underclocking of the Atom processor. I have not experienced any marked difference in the Netbooks performance when it is overclocked.

Therefore I conclude that there is little to be gained from overclocking a Netbook.
