Start the Computer- Right Mouse click on the desktop select one and hit apply is the safest way. Most of the stuff I have seen, loads a bunch of garbage, spyware, impairs performance, and in one case actually loaded the harddrive to the point that they could not even print.

I think this is what you had - there is a download link at bottom of the page.

I've been using a little program called Taffeta for a while now. Very small program (don't know about memory usage though) and it works well. I think I dl'ed it from Cnet if I remember right.

why not try www.webshots.com. You can download thousands of pictures and they will rotate on a daily basis. I have no problems with them loading any spyware and if they did I just remove them with adaware.
