I also negelcted to mention, My companion bird "dini, short for Houdini" a Sun Conure, which was a rescue bird. We just went through a bout with Her, having 2 Strokes back to Back. I had to Mod her cage, to she could, get around,she had lost the use of her feet. She wouldn't give up the fight for life, so we didn't give up on Her. Now, She is back to almost Normal, and has regained almost all of Her Dexterity, and Mobility.

Z71 I represent noone, other than myself, I happened to be over @ pricewatch looking for some prices on processors, and saw the posting, on the opening page. I don't want to come off as rude, and a reply count, matters not to me. What you percieve as rudeness, is merely frustration. I hate to think that, the opportunity for someone to make a payday, and score some some prestige points, is going to go to waste. I know you guys and gals have talent aplenty, and this is the last you will hear from

Reply to Question about media players in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A decent media utility is Media player Classic. Not only does it handle most formats, codecs and whatnot, It's Free. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358 The only annoyance, is when some pins in file graphs fail to initialize, it messages ya. This can be turned off, in the preff's. The players works decent, and seems to be low res usage, and the UI is straight forward. Feel free to give it a try.

Bakerstreet -+- Way cool, my Dad did some prospecting off the Yuba, I never got the chance, to go there. We did alot of placer work in Colorado, and we worked, some in Nevada on a claim, that had major gold, trapped in aluminum silicate, and the aluminum was so light and encapsulated around the gold, that it kept washing out, and unecenomical to process.

Now that's cool, I spent a couple of years working in a Goldmine in Colorado. Down around Telluride and Placerville, off of Specie Creek. I was a hobby Panner, as well. Still am as a matter of fact.

Reply to Review: BusLink USB 2.0 Disk On the Go Lite in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The voltage supplied to the drives are very small, and anything over 500 MA, or something like that ( i am not sure), requires a power draw from the ps2 port via a pass through connector. The only drawback is the bottle neck in the data transfer, from the slower controller.

I bought a 60gb one awhile back, made by ACOM Data @ BBuy, and I liked it so much, I went over to Ebay and picked up a Laptop HD, USB 2 enclosure. It comes in real handy, if you happen to have you upgrade (left-overs)Laptop Drives, laying around and want to put them to use. You can pick them up for $20, do a search for USB 2.0 + Hard Drive + Case. They come with a cable, to either draw the power via the USB Port, or if needed via ps2, Port. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/joke

Question posed to ponder... Are the XP machine set with NTFS Partitions? These support full user share rights, where as FAT/FAT32 does not. A Win98 machine can only allow Guest access, and XP with FAT will only allow Guest access, or a duplicate account acces from another machine. Enabling the Guest account, on an XP machine with FAT/FAT32 should resolve the issue. Hope this helps. I had a simil

Chris, Simply having WindowsXP, will not fill the bill. You must have the proper, aplications, installed to utilize the skins, found on this site. Each Catagory, defines a application, that corresponds to the Skin, Library associated with it. You can obtain the Object Desktop Suite from www.stardock.com . That would be the best place to start, you True, Skinning journey. Best of luck

What you're looking for is Object Bar, part of the Object Desktop. It skins, the taskbar and whatnot. There are many applications included, in the entire package, and it is well worth, the money. I know it sounds like a shameless, plug, but many will second, my opinion and advice.
