This little tool Link does the same thing and more, plus it's much easier to use Just wanted to thank you Webgizmos, that little utility has saved me SOOOOO much time! It has helped me track down Chipset and BIOS upgrades on a few PC's already, a couple of box's that are "ancient" as well lol..
Sometimes you have to rename the file to .curxptheme, because you get the file in .zip and it wont work in .zip only in .curxptheme You should not have to "Extract" or "Unzip" anything..just click on the Cursor XP icon..if you see anything other than the Cursor XP icon then most likely you will have to rename the file... I have run into the problem of files having "Multiple cursor packs within the file that is named .curxptheme.. In t
There are lots of very very cool tweaks you can do from the registry. But of course, if you have only a faint idea about what the registry is, or for example if the letters HKCU don't mean anything to you, then don't touch it with a ten foot pole! But if you're an advanced power user, there are great things you can add or modify
Your Right Ziggy...I never noticed that..if there are coupons being circulated somewhere I have absolutely no idea where.. Sorry I cant help on that one.. Zero.
I have had it since it came out, Zero. To my suprise it is a very good program. Another good tool in the arsenal line of defense. Cindi Thanks Cindi, I will hopefully have time to install and run it tonite. Im sure it's a decent utility, I actually didnt mean to "Bash" it in itself, it was more of a com
coupon deal??. there is a "Coupon deal"? Sheeeeeesh! I want one!..wait..I already spent the $20..LoL..Ah well.. Hmmmmm..maybe I could use it to start another subscription.... Coupons?.. Havent heard of those for WC ..anybody else? Zero.
Even Flash takes up quite a bit of CPU. A Flash logon makes sense but a Flash desktop background I can't see as being useful. ::nods:: It may..I would actually have to try it and see..I know I was creating and using flash on a regular basis with a 450 Plll processor and having little difficulty..Now wit
Do you realize how many resources anv AVI desktop wallpaper would take up. Active desktops have been around for a long time, they were introduced with Win98 and were entertaining to a point. I would have to agree on the "AVI" thing..That would use up ALOT of resources..But your Flash idea isnt so ba
On a personal note, please keep shouting until I actually listen. I need it. LMAO..Bichur how profound... I agree, Listen to Phoon, the registry is not something to be messin around with..unless of course you dont care about your OS..then go right ahead.. "Daddy Always said, best way t
It's been happening for alot longer than you would think..Encrypt, encrypt, encrypt...Oh and did I mention..encrypt?.. Even then you only have a certain measure of "safety" as encryption was meant to be broken..wasnt it?..LoL If you want to be really safe..stay off the internet, that way you wont give anyone a chance!.. It isnt new, just growing .. Zero.
Ok Raymond, Now I hate you..I cant hate MS and your the next conveinent person to hate..LoL!! J/K You do make very good points and I have reconsidered a few of my "Gripes" ::sighs:: I suppose there will never be an OS that is perfect, and I admit that without a doubt Windows XP is the best I have used to this day. They do only keep getting better and for that reason alone is enough to keep supporting the "Evil Empire" LoL! As for the
I would like to say again that I am not blaming anyone for anything and I apologize if it came across that way. I am simply stating the "whys" so please do not take it personally: if the shoe fits wear and think about it and if it doesn't then don't worry about it It isnt you or anything you have s
if you build your own laptops I'd be interested to know where you get your parts. Me too..::laughs:: I have a couple laptops here that I wouldnt mind rebuilding...I dont know why they dont make the parts more available, I have taken mine apart and put it back together..there is nothing very hard about i
The change was made to increase the ease and efficiency of getting updates installed. The majority of problems on people's computer's relate to the end-user not installing a security patch or update; however the end-user immediately blames Microsoft for the problem instead of being responsible and installing the required patches.
Have you tried the new version 8 beta? I havent tried it and there is a reason for that..::laughs:: I would rather wait for a final release than deal with the bugs and issues "Beta's" are well known for.. When they release a working program , then I'll give it a go..until then there is 7
The beep codes were useless And they are, unless you happen to be a real guru...Taking the normal trouble shooting steps to determine the culprits is the way of the rest of us. After very close examination of the MB that I replaced(with a magnifying glass..LoL) it seems a couple of the sauter joins
Pro.. Why settle for less than you can have?
LoL..it's funny..I just played "Name that Beep" last night with a friends PC.. Unfortunately I do not know the codes either so my experience was much like yours Fuzzy..Strip it until it works and then re-assemble..problem was..it never worked..::laughs:: I ended up replacing the MB..Fortunately we had an exact match on-hand (Exact same PC sitting in the closit for parts!)So there was very little down time for my friend as it took about a total of 1 hou
::laughs:: I guess there are some in the world that have no idea what this "Changing" the clocks even is, it certainly doesnt happen everywhere. My personal favorite is this time setting, the reasons for which are obvious..I am a carpenter and I work at a "Piece" rate..the extra light allows me to make extra Money!..this is good!..LoL.. I wish it would stay like this forever..but it doesnt..ah well.. Anyway, for some of us, today
I would *Definitely have to agree with #6..I have alot of friends that have issues with their LAN's and Windows XP "jiving" with each other, leaving them stranded without a clue why they cannot connect to their ISP..I am soooo tired of fixing these problems. Sure, it only takes minutes when you know where to look and what to do..but it really should not be necessary to do anything..Grrrr!. Also I would like better support for Hardware and Per

Thomas - if I am not mistaken the "Developer" portion of the "nick" is an *Honorific.. You can change your honorific by going to the "My Account" tab at the top of this window and changing the setting in the "My Honorific" drop down menu at the bottom of the page.. I could be wrong, but it's somewthing to try, Zero.

Well awesome! .. Basically the same as IE except for adding the "Shift" key..I wouldnt believe there wasnt a way to do it other than the "hard" way..Would have been a shame if there were not a way to do it, FF is such an awesome browser! ..cool.. And.. Thanks for sharing!, Zero.
I only have suggestions.. In your partners desktop settings - are they set to "Classic" or "XP Style" ? you may have to change it to "Classic Style" for WB's to work.. Thats all I can think of since you say that WB's works on the guest account as well as your account but not on your partners.. Try that, if it isnt it then hopefully someone will have another solution that will work. Good Luck!, Zero.
It did'nt work for me, Zero. Well thats odd...::sighs:: maybe it will just take a little longer for MS's systems to be updated??.. I dont know. I didnt attempt to do it right away, I just stuck with my usually update routine - once a week and on my next update, the week after I had to go through the
