I used to buy DareDevils and Punisher stuff and I was a huge Batman fan, up untill that crappy Knightfall storyline with Azrael becoming the new Batman and yadda yadda. Only good thing to come out of that was Bane. Comics nowadays just don't give the same sensations. How many comics nowadays can you open and actually be able to catch the smell of the paper? It's all this horrible shiny stuff nowadays. Bleah.... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" b

It's looking very well like a virus, although it didn't set off any bells with my checker. I'd really love to know what exactly this file is.

Virus or damaged file? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Looking for some info from anyone who has a techy understanding of Win 2K (Looking at you programmer types, hehe). Yesterday when I booted up into Windows, explorer became EXTREMELY unstable, sometimes running incredibly slow (Taking up to a minute to load explorer windows and whatnot) and in some cases not responding at all. I started closing stuff down from the taskmanager to see if it helped, and saw a 'cnd.exe' running. I've never had this running before, and closing it seemed t

Don't do it Brad! John will sell his subscription on the black market, to fund his 50-a-day Fabergé egg habit. We've tried an intervention, but he won't stop collecting them. It's sad, very sad.......

That's a great little article. Brings back some memories of 2-3 years ago, and also the old Skinz days. I saw one of Shawn Murdocks skins in a screenshot there too. *Sigh* I miss the old days....

I was a fan of Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors when I was younger. Cities of Gold and Pole Position as well. I'm a bit past watching cartoons now, but obviously I never miss an episode of The Simpsons.

Reply to need help on scroll bar in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If it's occuring in every window, then you have the trial version of Windowblinds, and will need to purchase the full version to have skinned scrollbars. If it only happens in Internet Explorer, then this is by defualt. Windowblinds can only skin IE scrollbars in XP.

Reply to Some problems with WindowBlinds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm assuming you have Windows XP, as the first problem is usually an XP-related one and can be fixed turning off 'common names', which I believe is something to do with Internet Explorer. (I'm a 2K user though, so I'm not sure how you turn it off)

Reply to What do you like to read? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I enjoy books on Chinese history, philosophy and martial arts. I also like auto-biographies. Probably my fav's being Jackie Chans' and Michael J Fox' book. Oh, and not unlike probably every single person on this site, I'm also a Tolkien fan too.

Reply to Animation for WindowBlinds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Animated skins generally suck up memory, although there are two different types of WB animation. (Kinda). The first is the standard repetition of a set of pre-defined frames. The 2nd is used when you use an attribute in WB called 'link-to', which allows you to toggle defined buttons on and off from a master button. Using this method, fade-in effects can be applied to the process. 'What is the Matrix' by Mercury, and the Seti skins by DavidK use this method. As for

Reply to Skinning on the rise? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

There's two viewpoints on this: One, from a user point of view, would definitely show that skin use and creation is on the rise.Downloads are high, and new skinners are popping up around the place and larger software companies, MS in particular, are recognising it as a valid form of GUI customisation. The other, from a skinners point of view, in my opinion shows a decline, as there's nothing particularly new or awe-inspiring being created these days(With a few exceptions, Tree
