How about giving credit where credit is due. In a perfect world that's a marvellous concept....but sadly, in the real world, it's rather difficult for those who attribute things to themselves and take the glory for the work, creativity and innovation of others.

, I run spyware scans on my machine and get nothing. I run the same scans on machines of IE users, and I always find spyware, even when for users who would never frequent "questionable" sites. The question is: what is the definition of a questionable site these days? In the past, it was considered to

Thanks, yrag, for your prompt response, it is appreciated. I checked the event log and found this: Faulting application ypager exe, version 7.0.0.437, faulting module ntdll.dll version5.1.2600,2180, fault address 0x0018fea. An error report to MS came back with no known solutions at this time and provided a link to yahoo support...still waiting on a reply from them....won't hold my breath! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Mad.g

My wife has friends with whom she keeps in touch on yahoo messenger, which is all well and good....if ever she can get me out of WC long enough Seriously though, we downloaded the most recent version, as recommended, but when it's installed our system goes into safe mode, making it rather difficult to read anything on the screen. We have tried uninstalling and rei

I have no problem with Mac's in general. Its there more fanatical users that piss me off. I fully understand that sentiment....when Apple/Mac fanaticism precludes the truth for blatant fabrication, but there are zealots on both sides of the fence who contribute to the ongoing OS wars,

Given the feedback Brad is so kindly providing us from PDC 2005, Vista is shaping up to be the most progressive and innovative OS's ever released by MS. The reports to date suggest that positive things are happening with Vista and I'm looking forward to its public release with the greatest anticipation. Will Vista be good for skinning, well yes I think so....MS has taken the technology of XP by the scruff of the neck and added even more to

I can understand software developers with a vested interest getting annoyed and feeling a need to vent some steam over Apple claims, but it astounds me when average users display a hatred with a passion for Apple and its followers. It just seems somewhat extreme to me

I HATE APPLE!!!! DIE APPLE DIE!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that rather negative? Without Apple, would MS feel the need to raise the bar, to be innovative or competitive? It seems to me that competition from Apple is a good thing for PC users, and even if it's felt Mac zealots are somewhat ridiculous in their

Well now I've downloaded Acrylic for myself to see what all the fuss is about I shall look over in the next couple of days or so, but given my newbiness (is That a word?) to it and not being overly familiar with any of the programs in question, I'll still not be qualified to make any comparisons or give an informed opinion. However, should I become too frustrated and

Sorry if the title (reworded MS spiel) is suggestive or misleading, and I hope nobody thinks that I believe Acrylic to be a serious cometitor to Photoshop or Paintshop Pro. To be honest, having not looked at it as yet, I wouldn't have a clue and posted this purely as a matter of interest for those who might want to check it out. However, whilst Acrylic may not meet the requirements of more experienced users, it could be a useful tool for the less ex

I have to say I was disappointed about Opera. Yeah, me too, but not for the same reasons. My 3 month old HD died and had to be replaced, which thankfully wasn't that painful because it was due to a manufacturing fault and was replaced under warranty. However, when I reinstalled Opera and tried

Yeah, I did, alot....once upon a time when I was a furniture removalist, until arthritis and brittle bones put an end to that a couple of years ago. Being a removalist, to me, was a much better job than being stuck in a factory or office...I was always on the move and far too busy to be clock watching for knock-off time, so I never had the feeling of being tediously bored. It was always hard and heavy work, but always enjoyable for the app

Imagine if Microsoft included a direct, part of the OS mechanism for people to get more themes, skins, icons, wallpapers for Windows? It took you to some MS site where you could download them. Why bother going to a WinCustomize? The same is true of many other types of websites, services, etc.

I've noticed this jumping as well, particularly when I've just downloaded and applied a new blind. It seems to happen when I have the yahoo or google toolbars running...disabling and re-enabling them fixes it, 'til the next D/L

I found Windowpaper, it only adds a wallpaper to a single folder, and as an option it can add wallpaper to the folders in that folder, but not those inside them. Not ALL of them as far as i can tell, if you select the apply to all sub-folders, you should also get walls in them as well...haven't

Spinal...Windowpaper XP v1.01 by Sodabush adds walls to folder backgrounds and is freeware. Sorry, I don't have a link for you, but a google search should turn it up for you. Used in conjunction with Glass2k, which adds transparency and is also freeware, it adds quite a nice effect. Have fun.

Seems to me, calling a spade a spade would attract accusations of digging the garden with the best silver. You could have simply suggested 'yes and/or no' to have invoked a diatribe of how you were wrong and an egotistical capitalist on both counts. It's the old 'damned if you do, and damned if you don't' mentality some adopt purely to attract otherwise unseen attention

But then when the same TM tries to apply the suite, it looks in wincustomize/logonstudio/, and gives an error. It should be smart enough to look in the same place that it stored the files. As far as I understand it, when you download a suite, the individual components still go to their respective fold
