bchon: It should work. I have a 4200 back home and that does. The NVIDIA cards had somewhat crappy drivers a few years back, but that's somewhat less true nowadays (at least for the things which WB5 does).

You meant "Vista Beta" right? No. Microsoft requires graphics cards which support Pixel Shader 2.0, a 3D grahpics function introduced in DirectX 9.0 and only present on certain graphics cards. There is no indication that they will change that requirement for the final release, as their system is based on us
It might not be a best selling novel, but at least it should have been mentionned!! It was, on the neowin site that was linked. But it should probably have linked to the inquirer site as well/instead of that.
I'll also get stuck with the todays WB skin offering, as I bet, from next tuesday (BTW happy birthday essorant) noone will develop new skins for the 4.x platform. I very much hope that this will not be the case. It should not that hard to provide non-translucent border options as well. Indeed, the pe
Does anyone know where/how I can find when my OD Network subscription expires? I can't remember when I last renewed it. Double-click Registration Info in Stardock Central, then click Update. It should confirm your registration, and display your expiration date.
Oh, and I can't emphasise this enough - having semi-transparent borders is also, really, really cool. I forsee some very interesting designs that you won't want to miss out on!
ethsza: At this time, WB5 is being built for XP and up. I would personally consider it unlikely that there will be a version of WB5 specifically for Windows 2000, for the simple reason that most people still using 2000 are not using hardware that would be able to take advantage of the new features at a reasonable speed. XP came out in 2001, after all, and there have been many changes since then. To give people a genenral idea of performance
Interesting - and annoying, I'm sure. Open c:\Program Files\Stardock\DesktopGadgets\NaturalDesktop\AppData\{8AACBEAC-7CD7-4C45-BD0E-DA535AFE641A}.DXScriptLocal (it'll be one of the most recently-modified files in that folder) and search for Boxpos, then change that to 0,0 (while the program is closed). Failing that, try changing your display resolution to its smallest while the window is (meant to be) open, then close program, then make it larger, then
Windows 3.0 had a great 16-colour chess background bitmap . . . As for the windows apps, that's not a dirty little secret. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that old applications still work for people. Windows 1.0 is pushing it, but many 2.x or 3.x apps will still work.
Thanks, guys! Honestly, it's just been busy , what with all the email that got stored up while I was at the PDC with Brad, but I'm sure the rest of the week will be a little more sedate. And if not . . . well, I wouldn't want my life to get boring. And, no, Jafo, I'm only 23. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/BigSmile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="
They would take my birthday and turn it into a psuedo-international holiday.
Ah. You guys probably have simple file sharing on in Explorer/Tools/Folder options/View. Or are on Windows XP. Texasjoe: Well, it seems not to have gotten a response from the website at all (indicated by the Combined METAR/TAF and alternates all being empty. That does suggest something up with the networking side of things (or failing that, an error in the script).
Well, that's right. I don't know why it wouldn't be getting the actual code for you, then (we don't use weather.com nowadays, but we do use IE's XML parser). A wild guess - check that on Properties of the c:\windows\system32\msvcp60.dll file, Security tab, that Users have Read and Execute privileges? Not having that has messed it up for some people in the past. Can you hold down Shift and press the half-circle that rotates in the window wher
Yeah, WMI is notorious for breaking for some reason or another, and fixing it can be a nightmare.
Hmm. Does this link come up as a document for you, usiing Internet Explorer? http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/FRXX0099?cc=* If it doesn't, then it suggests that IE's XML parsing is broken. If it does come up, that's not the problem.
Owch. See, this is why I don't install Norton - I value my BITS!
To the original poster (now probably long gone, alas): I'd guess (since it was working but stopped) that you got hit by the bug in Mozilla that messed up IE's XML parser. I believe later versions of Mozilla fixed that. To TexasJoe: I can't immediately prove it, but I think you may be right. We have had problems with both NIS and McAfee. The problem likely to be that their malicious script protections (which are theoretically "transparent") b
I'd be highly surprised if there isn't a way to turn that off. If there really isn't, report it as a bug!
I believe they are extracted, but the scripts at least are in an unreadable form (unreadable except by DesktopX, of course). I might be wrong, though.
And that's how Wiki works.
Will it leave little 'presents' all over the desktop?... Nope, it's fully outhouse-trained. Although a little pooper-scooper would be good practice for young pet-owners.
I want one. Kinda looks like my cousin Ernie's kid. Hehe, not the final appearance, either, although the shape and size is right. Release versions will probably be more "cute", for a given definition of cute.
Does it include a desktop hairball remover? No, though it does comes with its own ball.
Remeber, that's 18MPG in ideal conditions. Most cars use a lot more in the first few minutes of operation when they're getting warmed up, to ensure that users get the best experience possible, even at the cost of more gas. And that's just starting up in the morning. If you go to get lunch, that's another chunk gone, without actually going more than a couple of miles. Longer journies do burn up more fuel, but it's not a linear relationship.</font
But . . . the shooting! Ships! Hot cell action!
