It's now even easier to create breathtakingly realistic 3D landscapes and animations with Bryce. For a limited time, DAZ is pleased to offer Bryce 5 software absolutely FREE!* Now through September 6, 2006, download Bryce 5 for no charge at Download.com.

http://www.daz3d.com/program/bryce/bryce5free.php

Your be able to download from from Download.com but your have to register at DAZ to get Bryce 5 serial number and download the Bryce 5 presets.
When you do register you should have to options to get news letters from them. I register there a couple years ago and get a news letter once a week and also get the free add-ons of the week that I can download each week. These are add-ons that they sell but once a week you can get what ever one that put up for free.
Some are for Bryce and other are for Poser.

These should be the options you can pick from and they can be changed any time later on by going to My Account

DAZ Subscriptions

Allow people to search for my wishlist by name or my community display email, as well as my exact email.

Ok it is all easy to get. Maybe best to register at DAZ first so you don't get to the site and have to login etc so that you can can get the page that Bryce wants to take you to. If your alreally logged in you go right to the right page.
That way when you open up and you get a pop-up box that says this...

To activate this product, you need to register
online. Your Product Registration Code is:
????????(will show code where the ? is). Click "Continue" to automatically
open a web-browers and vist the registration
webpage. Then you will receive a Serial Number.

Then your see this...

Thank you for registering your copy of Bryce!
Your Product Serial ID to Activate is: Long Serial Number will be here.

Please print this, copy it, or write it down!

Then after I put in name (I used the same name I registered as at DAZ) and Serial Number I got pop up that said...

Get the Free Content!
Registration is finished. Bryce 5 will not be
complete untill you download and install the free
Content and Presets package. Click Continue to
go to the download page.

It took me here so go here to get the presets.
http://www.download.com/3000-6677_4-...trid=446713850

Product: Bryce 5 Presets and Content
Product Information

Required Products: Bryce 5.

These presets and content were meant for Bryce 5.

Instructions: Please move all files into the "Presets" directory inside of your Bryce folder and restart Bryce.

All done and it is just like the paid version I have but this is from DAZ and my paid version is from Corel that cost $180.00.
There are 1000's and 1000's and 1000's of free add-ons you can download from the web.
Some of the add-on formats can also be used for Bryce, Poser and DAZ|Studio.
Even some that are made say just for Poser can be used in bryce to open the object but it may not be able to find all the added parts because Poser brakes things down into folders another way but it can be done.

Buy the way there is No install of Bryce or the Presets. Just unzip them where you want to keep the program.

XCavate - ActiveX Zapper
I was having problems getting rid of one of the ActiveX Contols on my pc and was given this application by k027 in CastleCops forums. It not only lists the ActiveX Controls, it gets rid of those you don't want, or no longer need. Handy little tool.

How would you know what ones are not need to delete them?

That to be is like deleting the BHO from the PC.
WinPatrol only shows I have 3 listed.
Looking in the C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files folder I see 5 things listed.
Then if I view all file types in ACDsee image viewer I have 35 files.

I had a couple of programs which I "tried" that put ActiveX controls on my pc. I used this to remove them - but, I knew they were there and wanted to get rid of them. Also, some online scans put ActiveX controls on the pc and I don't like keeping them around, if I am not going to use them again. IF you do delete one which you really want, you can always go back to the website and get it again. CAUTION is the key word though - as in most thing we do on computers. DON'T delete anything you are not sure should be deleted.

Funny thing is the files can not been seen by windows but I can see them tru the image viewer program. I do see some or most are years old and you are so right they are from a online scan. Seems to be a norton online scan I did. Only way to look at any of the files is to copy them to another folder

Actually hewee,
It was the employer whom was, in my mind, at fault. There were no passwords employed on the system. If there had been then that would have been another issue and another thread.
And a little dumb luck may have been behind some of this.

Yea your right if the laptop you worked on was really a worked laptop that the employer owned and wanted to protect then he should of setup things better.

Still funny how you did it all so fast. Did James Bond show you how?
