<font color="#333333"><B>Dear Readers,</B></font><BR>
<font size="-1">If the best things in life are free, why does software cost so
much? Back in the day (that day being 1999, when the Internet was
the Next Big Thing), you could get almost all of your
software--e-mail, fax services, online desktops, you name it--for
free. Now, even <a href="http://clickthru.online.com/Click?q=71-GwdUIEZcoNyxIRpqwuBXvl3NU2rR" >Yahoo</a> is charging for some of its formerly free mail services, including the ability to check your Yahoo mail from Outlook or another desktop e-mail client.
But if you look closely enough, you can still find some
worthwhile free apps. We've reviewed <a href="http://clickthru.online.com/Click?q=86-8fH1QCJoJ4geBdLSjaeTldfVpfRR" >four free e-mailers</a> to get you started. And we've also
taken a peek at the new <a href="http://clickthru.online.com/Click?q=9b-7-TFQSIo_AW0ILZ0dAVJ9PZAKTFR" >BearShare</a>, which is not only
free itself, but also lets you share music and media files at no
cost. Of course, whether you can find legal music to share is
another matter entirely.

One of our biggest beefs with ICQ has always been its
bloated feature set. Now, the company has released a new

full-fat version--but at what cost? We take a first look.

Based on your desription, we're guessing that QuickTime pops
up when you try to stream a media file (video, audio, or MP3s)
from the Web. If so, this probably means that you have
QuickTime set as your default media player for all media
files. And since your version of QuickTime is out-of-date,
whenever it launches, it attmepts to upgrade. You could simply
upgrade the program, or you can to turn off the autoupgrade
feature. In QuickTime 5.0, open the program, select Edit >
Preferences > QuickTime Preferences. Uncheck the box labeled
"Check for updates automatically."
<p>
If, however, you simply prefer to use Windows Media Player,
open that program, click Tools > Options. Select the Formats
tab, then check the boxes next to all of the file types that
you want Windows Media Player to open. To make sure that
QuickTime doesn't override your WMP settings, uncheck those
file types within QuickTime.
