Thanks for the info T-Man, I was wondering if the slowdown of late was due soley to bandwidth issues, or whether in fact you folks were doing things with the backend servers.

Dethinite, I've had the same problem. I think slashes are weird magical runes that do weird magical things to text.

Reply to Question about XP in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I don't know. That was a problem with Win 95/98/ME. The Windows NT/2000 OS family has a real password desktop lockdown. I imagine XP must also (at least the XP professional, XP server editions) since they are considered upgrades to NT/2000. I'm curious if the XP Home edition does as well.

Well, "Sudden Death" definitely sounds cooler than the like-sounding "Buzzard Breath"

Airwalker, I'm using a compaq laptop running w2k with 8 Meg ATI mobile (m3 Church) video card. I can't run wblinds,nextstart,desktopx,object bar in 32 bit (True) color. IIRC: With wblinds I start getting black menus, then lose window title bars. With NextStart I usually get a subscript out of range error dialog box and /or a can't auto repaint/draw image error dialog box. Or I get black menus instead of skinned menus in NexStart. Oddly enough, DesktopX has bee

When I posted my response, the browser hung as if the scripting.wincustomize.com server was not responding or timing out. I killed the browser session so I wasn't even sure my post made it to the server. Maybe the wincustomize site is experiencing heavy load?

Reply to which programs featured here by stardock is the most stable??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hmmm, that's somewhat of a loaded question. IMO, stability is more often than not a combination of the OS you're running and the quality of your video drivers. Skinnable apps tend to stress the OS in general and the OS's video capabilities in particular. For instance, I use a W2K laptop with an ATI video card and drivers. While W2K is stable, my ATI drivers are terrible. I can't run any skinnable apps in 32 bit color mode without getting graphic corruption and (I suspect) GDI r

A friend relayed me this about Gordon Sinclair, the author of the America: The Good Neighbor. "Gordon Sinclair was a Canadian radio personality during the 60s through the 80s. He died in '84. He was writing in response to America's pull-out of Vietnam. At the time, we retreated (what else can you call it?), the US was entering a hard recession and the dollar was falling like a house of cards. Everyone and every nation was vocally critical of the US and Gordon

This is surreal. I knew the pilot of the first plane that crashed into the towers. Though I only knew him in passing. He's from my home town. I had met him and his wife (she also works or worked for the airlines) once or twice in the 80s. He was a friend of a friend and had lent us the use of his house on a lake one summer on the days he was flying. When they said his name on the TV I nearly jumped off the sofa. I'm still waiting to hear about my cousin She lives in Manhattan and

Unfortunately no, dxamp is not a standalone mp3 player. It needs winamp to be running. What dxamp actually does is send messages to winamp, telling winamp to play, pause, stop, next track, prev track and so on.

Yes, you can have the dxamp startup winamp minimized when you hit the play button on the dxamp object. Right click the play button on the dxamp object. This displays the object's context menu. Select Properties. This will display the Properties dialog box. Near the top it should display a combo box that says Custom class. Press the Configure button underneath it.

I think thats a DXAMP plugin for Winamp In Nuvem's Sputnik screenshot. In order to use it. you'd need DesktopX Here's a link that should get you to the shareware version: http://www.desktopx.net DesktopX allows you to modify your desktop and add plugins. That particular plugin is used to control Winamp. You don't have to use DesktopX to change your entire desktop. You can use it to add one or two things to it if you want to keep things simple.
