I've had it happen on occasion too. Never figured out what caused it. I just put it down to being one of XP's less endearing 'features'.......

Well the firewall and pop-up blocker are new XP features. As for the GUI, that's beyond help 
Plus they finally disabled the messenger service by default in this one. Took them long enough to get round to it. [Message Edited]
15 by Essencay - 4/11/2004 6:08:12 PM Though I don't use it, I'm surprised is that ObjectBar doesn't seem to get a lot of acknowledgement...only 207 skins That's down to it being a pain to figure out how to skin. It's something that oft been brought to Stardock's attention, and ObjectBar 2 is said to have been overhauled to make it much
I still feel that Cursor XP is one of the best if not the best when in comes to overall skins design and ability to make them My opinion is that for skins design, nothing beats the folks in the Winamp 3/5 scene. And as for ease of creation, Beatnik or Quicknotes would win that one.
We get to them when we get to them.
by Developer joetheblow - 4/10/2004 11:12:51 PM Maybe, maybe not, but its got some imaginary skins for it. I'm thinking perhaps you mean 'imaginative'?
The queues get backlogged sometimes, and they way they're arranged by default is newest stuff at the top, I think. So if it's a big queue, some stuff takes a while to go through. We get there eventually though...
#9 by Essencay - 4/10/2004 8:14:11 AM Maybe if the thread was titled FREE NUDE PICS OF BRITNEY the "default sputum and speres" crowd would read it That would certainly make me interested in the board again!
if you didn't know they (trails) existed, how would you know to search for them? Why would you want to in that case? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smil
It's the Red Hat skin for Windblinds, based on the Red Hat Linux theme. If you do a search here in the Windowblinds section you should find it.
We could make this a sticky thread, but people don't bother their asses reading before posting.....
#10 by webgizmos - 4/9/2004 8:15:08 PM OK...all good suggestions...but...unless you know they are available...how would you know to search for them? Well, given that there's a search box in each skin section here, and you're looking for 'trails', it's not hard to work out. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/jokegrim.g
Given your post in that other thread too, Hockey, it's seeming that you have an illegal serial number. Please don't post here anymore trying to obtain the suite. If you want it, purchase it and you won't have any problems finding it. If you have already purchased it, e-mail [email protected] and explain the situation. Give them the full name and e-mail adress you purchased with, and they can look it up in the database.
#82 by Citizen Hockey10 - 4/9/2004 4:43:33 PM wuts the site? This thread is over a year old. The matter has long been taken care of and the freebie is gone, so please don't try and scam a link to it.
#2 by Flamedog - 4/9/2004 9:45:06 AM I found Hippy's skins but they are not what I'm looking for He sucks anyway.
It's all explained in the sticky thread regarding it. But no-one bothers to read it before requesting stuff.

You want an i586 ISO. The latest Mandrake build is 10, but I believe that's an early release version. The last solid build was 9.2 I think, which came out in December or thereabouts , so it's worth looking that one out.
I've dabbling in Linux a bit and I used Mandrake as well. Liked it very much. I can also second Essencay' suggestion of trying Knoppix out. That way you can see if you like it before installing a proper build. Also, SUSE Linux is available as a live eval CD based build too.
The supper compact menu? I tried that one already, sadly it doesn't work. Only the right pane can be compacted, the left one remains the same size and only the text is shortened.
The latest Bootskin is the cause of the system halt. A few people have reported it and I think it's being looked into. QUick fix for now is to stop using it. As for the WB skin not applying, Skinstudio just sends the message to WB to tell it to apply the skin, it has no effect or control over the displaying of the gfx, so it's not repsonsible for that problem I would say. And Sks doesn't load anything at startup so it can't be the cause of any system lock ups upon boting either.
I'm certain compact menus started in the Msstyle scene. No idea who first played around with the idea though.
I think that's the classic-style logon setting. If you go into Control Panel>User Accounts, and 'change the way users log on and off', make sure the box with 'use welcome screen' is enabled. I don't if that's also related to the usericon problem, but I think it'll certainly fix the shutdown dialog one.
Yes, the Skindicate was a small co-op effort by Treetog, Dangeruss and D'mer.
