he cpu drain is awesome - only around 6-8 with these new ones! Oh boy, I guess I can cut them some slack for the utter mess they are then...LoL it's all about sacrifice I suppose, whats more important..quality or CPU usage..
There are certain strings in the UI that must be changed according to graphics format..for example 32bit alpha... Try this site to learn more.. http://bfarber.com/index.php?showforum=65 bfarber.com -> XP Login Screens Also, "round" will drive you crazy, even with the strings changed and your sizes correct, something as simple as padding can ruin your day... Heres another site with excellent info..http://webpages.charter.net/joolsie/LogonScreens.htm Animation/T
That is why I will not use the updates. Just a tad bit paranoid hmmmm? LoL..C'mon, where your sense of adventure?... Dont you like puzzles? Honestly I have only ever had a few minor issues with the updates... I will not allow them to be automatic, but I will install them for the simple fact that their purpose is to reinforce a product that clearly needs it.... I NEVER install any of the Hardware/Drivers from Windows update, now that wou
Just dealt with a similar issue, although it wasn't due to an update..... Error code 41.. The drive was there, but there was a problem loading the drivers..couldnt even use the drive before windows loaded, slightly annoying to say the least.. Ended up deleting a couple entries in the registry, fixed the problem..isnt google great?...LoL
"Personalize" It's in your right click menu, at least it is in the "Ultimate" version cant speak for any of the others....
U Got some eye there Zero !! So I have been told, it's a curse really..LoL Anyway, I really doubt MS got these things from Stardock, reason being is- Stardock is *NOT that friggin sloppy (Sorry MS,but Cmon?) I could be wrong, But I doubt it.. Every "Dream" that I have tried from Stardock is definitely much better... SO there ya go...I said it..LoL
Anyone notice the car driving by in the Rain drops one?.. BTW, It also "Jitters" a bit where the loop ends/begins like the river one, but it is allot less noticible...
Well..Lets see.... I was favoring the forest scene until watched it closely for a few minutes..there is a slight camera movement that ruines the effect, well..if you notice it- it does.. My Next favorite is of course the raindrops...The plasma/fire is ok I suppose..and the bee..well..dont care for bee's much anyway, that one went "Hasta La Bye, Bye" in a hurry... To Sum it up.. Rain - 5 Forest - 4 Fire - 3 Bee - 3 <~~~~~~~Cyaaaaaa
I emailed Jafo last week about a pretty important matter(again this AM about a piddly issue) and got no response. I believe I read spmewhere that Jafo has started using "MailWasher" and it takes a couple days or something like that for him to respond ( im not at all familiar with the program ) I do know that I had sent him an Email awhile ago and thought it was odd he didnt reply..well he did finally reply..about a month later, LoL.. No matter real
In my case the program I have to make a .swf file only lets me use stills Years ago I used to create flash animations for web pages graphics/games, etc,, I used a program called Swish.. I havent updated it in years but I know that the program has come a looooong way from when I used it, and it is fairly cheap... Just a suggestion Azdude, if your interested heres the site WWW Link</a
actually level up would be "lvl up" Ummm...When did "Skinning" become a video game?..isnt "Leveling-up" what you do with characters in games??.. LoL..Just wondering..isnt really important..im gonna take a nap and forget about it in about 2 minutes..LoL
I think I have figured out why HD's are getting larger and larger, it's so paranoid people can download and install every privacy utility on the internet, LMAO.. Jesus people, Cmon...is all that really necessary? where the hell are you people surfing?.. If it takes all of that to keep your box working ya might wanna reconsider what pages you are loading... Keep it simple... Anti Virus - NOD32..An "Aussie" Anti Virii Proggie that is simply the best out there..
Dual Boot...No problems with Vista Ultimate to speak of, runs smooth..But then so does XP, which I have fully established, Vista is taking awhile..but im moving over..slowly...
I'm sure MS is already spending millions on developing the next "uncrackable protection scheme". I hear it involves an RFID and GPS-enabled USB dongle that contacts an RFID chip that you have to implant under your skin. Then every time you log in, the dongle reports to Redmond the exact location of the PC and its user that's accessing their operating system. Now *That is Sci-fi... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Laugh.gif" bord
Believe it or not the first thing I did was look for a way to turn that piece of cr^p OFF... If MS has no issue with Stardock modifying it then go for it! The intentions were probably great, but for a power user it is the most ANNOYING thing that can happen.. Perhaps it could be implimented a bit differently? perhaps for users with diffeent levels of experience.. Say a 7 year old gets on the machine to play games.. Novice Setting The teenager gets on it to do resear
Either it is perceived as value for money....or it is not. Purchase is still optional... *Exactly ... That was an easier way to express it..LOL
Pirates? What pirates? "We Neeeeeed no stinking Pirates" ..LoL..Sorry...couldnt resist.. Hate to say it but Boss is right..nobody is twisting your arm to buy Vista, while I can agree the price is out of control for what the OS is...It really is just that simple..Buy it or dont... I imagine the OEM version of ultimate will drop rather quickly if you can wait it out, should give you plenty of useful time to perform the upgrades you need t
I agree...that and the price Well Yeah I.R..The Price is ridiculous as well..Way out of control,It put a dent in my wallet, I had to go use the damn ATM..GRRRRRRRR...LoL. Then again, the people who still have computer that are well out of the range of Vista, probably don't know what Vista is in the first place. LMAO, You know Adam, That is Soooo very true...I tell people all the time about Vista, i
Most computers today will struggle to run all the features of Vista at full speed, but maybe in a year hardware will catch up to Vista. Im Im going to have to disagree with that entirely... Im running Vista Ultimate on a machine I built a little over 3 years ago, and according to Vista's cute little rating system the box rates a 4.0 which apparently is a pretty decent score with 5.9 being the highest on their scale... 4.0 is your lowest har
Alright, allow me to be "the devil" for a few moments..LoL... Honestly im not looking to upset anyone or Flame/be flamed for the following opinions, so please lets try to have a normal discussion? I installed Dreamscene and Dreamscape...initiated the first one that comes from MS and thought.."Wow..Cool!" Then I went to the Stardock Library and began DLing "Dark Avatar"(Which is pretty cool by the way) First thought about it was during DL..38 MB's Pretty big file..Shouldnt matter these d
And to think such a tradition was born out of a simple comment I made when you made some remark about being "Spechal" Bichur..LMAO...Well at least im not a *Troll* with Troll season just around the corner..LoL... Have an *Awesome* New Years everyone! Me.
Just wanted to log -in (something I do rarily now, I used to practically live on this site) and say *Right On! Brad ... I think you have nailed it all.. Awesome read.. Have a great holiday everyone!! Me.
Well...1 hour isnt all that bad considering the volume of information being converted to different formats for burning to a readable DVD... at least I dont think so...and I think that time will be cut down as technology moves forward.. Processors get even faster..etc..etc.. Burning a movie only takes minutes..it's the conversion that takes time, im using a 3gig pentium w/a gig of RAM and I can usually get a 2 hour movie converted from AVI format to VOB or Mpeg format and burned in about an
As I recall JJ can't use it because of the language problem. Some languages it works fine with, but I'm pretty sure Chinese isn't one of them. Uhhhh..Ya Think??.. LoL..You have 2 choices..perhaps 3.. Change your OS's default language to Chinese... Translate the UIFILE to english...or give up on it and grab a different logon...
