so the mouse that came with XP doesn't work? That is wierd. A mouse usually is the last thing to freeze. My whole computer can freeze but the mouse moves just fine!!! So I am surprised that a mouse can freeze.

And it was good. Remeber that computer crash I had a few weeks ago?? Well it did end up being a little of a blessing. While I lost allot of things I found must of them just clutering my hard drive. (I still need a bigger hard drive) Now I have reorganized myself and have loads of designs coming your way!!! Once I get DX to work, that in combination with other image programs, I will do my best to add to what is here and on other sites in the art and skinning community. I am also

I think I need this Skinbrowser. It is like you guys are IM'ing each other over here. That remids me, I need to change my DEsktop image also. I haven't done that in 3 weeks. I have noticed others have not used this feature... looks like I am going to have to start another thread asking people to use it again.

Sheryl Crow? I do not think you could download a Sheryl Crow to your desktop. My DX wishes.... -Better animation control or scripting (much like CursorXP) -Plugin that works with Winamp3 -Better plugins for meters -If you set the security setting to ON then even if you reboot the computer it should still be secure until you turn it off (by entering the password so yuo better write it down!!!) -Better working imbedded internet explorer. <b

I am trying to get the Stardock news for DesktopX on Outlook Express. I had it there before simply by clicking on a short-cut as part of DX, but since it is not loading properly, I do not get it. It seems I also can't get the address to work in Outlook. Can somebody help me with the address or give me a shortcut so it will install in Outlook Express (my default newgroup program) Thanks I really need the group because My DX is not working for some strange reason <img src="http

ahhahaha!!!! I read the wallpaper submision as well. I think it makes it clear that it will be heavily moderated. What makes it through and is "crappy" could have possibly made it through more by luck than anything else. It is also possible that it made it because it was based on a skin or is a back drop for a skin. BTW: The wall looks ok. I lie the left side mostly. The rest looks like it needs more work. Besides, moderators are human. Mistakes happen. And this i

I guess I'm wierd because I use to change my skins every day. The wall paper tended to match the skin I was using. When I didn't have any skins, I used to change the wall constantly especailly when I got Webshots. After a while you just get tired of changing I guess. (give or take a few months)

well my only suggestion is to shop around and get what you want that will serve your needs. You do not want to get stuck with something cheap and works fine but is not what you wanted or needed. Soooooo.... is this to make better skins??? I hope so, my download finger is twiching again.

Wallpapers are so easy to apply. For most people it is a breath of fresh air that covers the entire screen. While icon and window skins are nice, even great, they fail in comparision to a wallpaper. If the wall is bad, every thing looks bad. I am not surprise that winamp is second. Once you figure out how to skin it, it is very easy to do. If you can get you hands on a skin generator then it is even easier. Plus winamp feeds on itself by having close to half a million different skins. I

I agree with da_zman20. The larger the disk spae used the slower it read/write ability is. A blank disk (and for that matter a new disk) will work better because, well its blank and new. Also, the media file you have on it probably are large. That might be another reason the other disk seems faster because there is less files to read through. Just my opinion. A guess really. I am not sure of the reality of this situation but it seems to make sense that this is so.

I wanted to comment on this earlier but didn't have time. I agree with Nate Pinchot as far as paying for bandwidth. The arguement being made by risk7, while good, lacks at certain major points. The bottom line is that a good site cost money to run. The idea that the internet should be free never really was a reality since you DO have o pay a service provider just to access it. Also once a site reaches a cerstain size, it becomes expencive to run. If you want boring stangnate sites then
