Reply to Catalyst 6.12 Drivers for Windows XP released in Windows Software WinCustomize Forums

Is there a big difference between Omega and Catalyst? I use Omega because a couple older programs act weird on Catalyst, but I always wondered what makes them different.

Reply to Blog: Will Windows Vista attract new skinners? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

This is all very interesting to read. I've tried to make a skin, but Skinstudio is a bit over my head. I'm quite proficient in Photoshop and Illustrator, being a graphic design major, but for some reason I can't get a grasp of Skinstudio, and I'm sure I'm not alone. In fact, I think Skinstudio getting more and more complicated with every release is a major part of why there are less skinners, and why a number of people here are saying skinning is no lo

Tool, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Acid Bath, Deep Purple, Sublime, Pearl Jam, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin. Can't turn it up too much since the people on the other side of my wall might not appreciate my subwoofer.

Reply to RIAA Legal Ruling Could Shut Down The Internet in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yikes, not prisonplanet. The guy who runs that is the biggest conspiracy theorist out there. The RIAA and MPAA are pretty awful, but I don't think any one organization, or government for that matter, even has the capacity to "shut down the internet."

Restart it in safe mode, and then try to scan it. I think you hit F2 before the Windows logo comes up when it's booting, then the boot screen will come up, and select safe mode.

Reply to Windows Vista Launches Tomorrow in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

According to itworld.com, it looks like Vista will be pretty successful. Up to 15 percent of PC users will move to Vista within the first year that the operating system is available. That would make it the fastest-moving operating system ever." <a href="http://www.itworld.com/Comp/2218/0611

Reply to E-Mail Spam on the Rise in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

It comes in waves for me. I usually get about 5-10 real emails a day, and sometimes that's it. Other days, my inbox has 30-60 spam emails. That continues for a couple days, and then dies down. I didn't check my email over Thanksgiving, and when I got back I saw I had over 100 emails, and only 15 or so were real.

Reply to The Cowboys Did It!!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The Colts choked yet again. They did it last year and got knocked out of the playoffs, and they did it this year when they had their first 'competitive' game. It's hard to have a great team when there is only one outstanding player. I weep for my Redskins. On paper they look great, but they can't seem to get anything going. The good news, though, is that they finally got Mark Brunell out and put in Jason Campbell. He looked pretty good on Sunday, and I hope he works out for the long ter

I'd be wary of buying any first gen hardware like this. I'm waiting for the 2nd gen (maybe 3rd) of the Creative players, and maybe the 2nd gen Zune.

Maybe the Styler visual styles are having a conflict with Windowlinds. If you can get the control panel open, go to the info tab and put a check in the 'Styler TB Mode.'

Reply to Bittorrents & Warez.., are they legal? in Living in Cyberspace WinCustomize Forums

Limewire is a p2p networking software, but isn't quite the same as Bittorrent. They're two different technologies. At any rate, most of the stuff transferred on those networks are pirated software, movies and music. The technology itself is perfectly legal, as it just allows efficient file transfer. The problem is the files being transferred. Most p2p software comes with a disclaimer and warning that they can't be held responsible for what's transferred on their networks, and people sho
