I have had so many problems with Dells in the past year it's just funny to see that. I have had the opposite experience. We have about 60 Dell's at work and all are fine - easy to set-up workstations with OS and driver discs only. Of course I only help when needed, but we moved away from HP / Compaq due to pricing and flaky OS installa

The percentage processor numerical value is telling you the percentage of the processor being that is "active" or in use Sorry, drop the "being" from that sentence. A couple of notes: 1 - Even with normal programs open (i.e., web browser, e-mail program, word processor, etc.) when performing the test via the link in #15 above,
Deselect "Use Task Grouping" option. In ObjectDock Plus, it is in the "Dock Contents" category of the Dock Settings dialog. I can't remember exactly where it is in the free version, but it is there somewhere.

I've checked that link and the %age idle time is running very close to the top of the scale and the %age processor very low, is this normal? If you click the "View Report" button after adding the percentage processor and percentage idle options for display, you will see a numerical percentage of both, which should add up to %100 total for bot

system idle ( username - SYSTEM ) this one by the way had a huge CPU of 90-92. This is actually the "unused percentage of the CPU". Another way to check performance http://support.microsoft.com/kb

Here is one definition from a Win 2000 paper: " Memory: Page faults/sec —Page faults happen when a program tries to use memory that's part of its working set and can't find it. Page faults come in two varieties: hard and soft. Hard page faults occur when the needed page must be loaded from the hard disk. Soft page faults happen when a program is found somewhere else in memory other than where the program expected to find it." I believe the XP Kernel was written
The default wallpapers for Windows XP come installed in "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpapers" folder, so you could place them there (this is my personal preference). You can also place them in the "My Pictures" folder for your account. Both of the locations above are used by WindowBlinds\Configuration Panel\Wallpapers section as a default on installation, so you can use that function in the WindowBlinds configuration panel. The "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpapers" sub-directory is the so
Can anyone tell me how to switch back to xp I believe you need to do a clean install of XP if you either upgraded on top of XP or installed Vista to the same partition that XP was on. The install process writes the XP files to the directory "windows.old" but to the best of my knowledge that is just to allow you to access the files. Ass
Anyone using the Vista Beta 2 as their main OS? Or just playing around with it for a bit? Only one machine here (notebook), so due to my needing my computer to work with no questions asked, I gave Vista and Office 2007 a test install and test drive twice. Waiting for RC1 now. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 AL
How do i make my own xp theme like the others do on the home page? Basically, you will need the following to make your own Start Menu and Start Button: 1 - SkinStudio (can be found by going to the "Software" tab at top of page). 2 - WindowBlinds (can be found by going to the "Software" tab at top of page). 3 - A graphic
Gallery vertical bar Oops, make that "horizontal bar".
Wrench,what wrench.I've been all over the page and I'm damned if I can see it Home Page > Gallery vertical bar > right-side of bar: "Do you see a small white square icon of an open-end wrench head"?
IMO - priority #1 needs to be consistent site performance, whether it be 10 seconds to load a page, or 3 seconds to load a page (based on a broadband connection). I think that people would tend to get used to whatever speed it is as long as it is consistent. After that I would say whichever programs run well under both Vista and XP would have the most exposure in the general user base, so galleries that cater to those programs would be good. I would also recommend creating a "
I tried it ("StyleXP") and decided against it for the following reasons: 1 - Skins selections were fairly limited. 2 - Incorporation with other installed programs was not as good as the native "uxtheme.dll" included in Windows XP. 3 - The uninstall process does not restore the original files. If the patch was clean and allowed the files to run exactly the same as the native ones do, and if the uninstall process restored the original files flawlessly,
I tried making a bootable disk using Nero You can use Nero if you want: 1 - Start Nero Burning ROM 2 - Select "No Multisession" > New button. 3 - Click Recorder menu > select the recorder. 4 - Place DVD-R in drive. 5 - Click Recorder menu > Burn Image > select the downloaded ISO image > click "Open" butt

I do not use that one, but I do know there is a "read-me" in the first version (and I believe in the version you are referring to), so I would suggest reading that to gain the proper instruction on placing the files and accessing the options.
Request time very inconsistent this weekend on my end. Anywhere from 5 - 30 seconds before page aquisition and load begins (sorry for the lack of technical terminology ).
I can't think what the problem is.. Unfortunately, I saw in other posts with that same error code (which I am sure you have already googled) that the only fix was a redownload and burn on slowest speed. You might give it a go.
Forgot - the policies referred to will be in the Local Settings > Security Policies, and will be a couple of the "User Account Control..." policies.
Haven't tried it, but you might go into the security policy dialog ("Run > secpol.msc") and disable one or two of the policies that limit the administrator accounts. This might prevent "Activate.exe" from being stopped by Vista.

Sorry, I forgot to mention. If you want to install any docklets, you would place the docklet folder in the ""C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets" folder.

That is the new "WinStep Full" program and (I believe) one of it's default skins. The menus may or may not be customized that way with the default skin. If not, then that is either a skin made by someone, or that persons customized menus. The clock and meters, etc. are part of the same suite of programs (either WorkShelf or NextSTART) - both of which are in the WinStep Full program. The WinStep site is here http://www.winstep.net/
