I'll say something that will surely get rotten eggs thrown at me.. Most of the software in OD is downright buggy. I understand that Windowblinds is easily worth 20 bucks, but to plunk down 50 bucks, and have only one of the programs really work as it's supposed to is a bit much. I understand the meaning of beta, but sheesh, to plunk down 50 bucks a year or else get nag screens is a bit much.

I look at it this way.. Wincustomize is a glorified advertizing expense for Stardock. The fact that the site and all the skins on it are here is actually advertizing the product better than any banner-ad ever could. The other programs here, are by being here, advertized by Stardock. If anyone should pay, it's them. As a user of Stardock's products, I am comforted by the fact that there's a nice archive here. If I was being checked up on and nagged however, it becomes less of a

Juni and I had the same problem when we visited the US this summer. Our card kept coming up rejected, and we'd gotten the damn thing specifically for the visit. It's totally humialating to try to explain "It's not our fault!" We called the bank to bless them out, but they claimed stupidity. Our card is supposed to be good internationally, but obviously it's not. *sigh* We've never had a problem online, but I do feel your pain. Obviously someone is screwing up. It's either your

I got that CoCreate error once when rebooting after using CEtuner, and Dashboard restarting. Nothing was actually "hurt" though. Does this happen on reboots? What else do you have that starts up as well? Does everything work ok other than the errors? Maybe try taking stuff out of the startup folder and see what happens... but it's hard to say. I only got the error once. You could also try emailing Snoopsoft. Maybe they know what it actually means. Well, I tried to help... at least my he

I have an ailing Ipaq in a groovy-cool Vaja Billfold case. I don't have the dust problem, but I have a severe spiking problem... and at this point my Dell Inspiron 8000 notebook is getting better battery life. Time for the Ipaq to be sent back in. The Ipaqs are great... except that it seems that everyone I know, including me, has had to send theirs back in. I'm dreading this because I don't want some

My first real computer was a little Sharp that had a touchpad, so I'm pretty much used to that. I have a Dell I8000, that until recently had the slight issure of the trackpoint and touchpad not playing well together. The new drivers fix that, but I just can't get used to a trackpoint. How the hell can you click on anything with one of those?? Touchpad all the way for me.

All this guy seems to do is police other site's message boards. Yes yes, I know everyone loves DA, but come on, can't Elfkura have some freedom to vent among friends? This isn't the first time DA has gotten pissed at what others say on outside sites. I mean come on. If you want to ban people on your own website for exercising their freedom of speech, that's fine, but policing other websites just loo

I know I'm in a minority here most likely, but I don't agree with this. Why should I order a cd with stuff I already have on it.. just to access two new themes? So essentially, I'm paying for the new skins. Weren't skins supposed to be free? I could understand a subscription service, but this is a bit pricey for something that's usually free. Not-to-mention more expensive still for us not in the US. I know yall need money and all, but it's a bit much for two new skins. I know most

But I read on the comment board that Dangeruss was paid for it.. if that's true, then it certainly isn't ripping. I mean, if they're lying that's one thing.. but if these guys were paid to post their stuff, why is the website's name being slandered here? Meanwhile I watched a rip stay in the Dashboard forum for like a weak here before being taken down. It's gone now though.
