Reply to Anyone wanna speed up Firefox? in Internet WinCustomize Forums

FF is ported from linux so it stands to reason installing it on the platform it was designed for then it will be noticably fast compared to when it runs in windows,go ahead prove me wrong..*keep in mind i dual boot ubuntu so i know how ff performs inside it* ;) ps: if you decide to try a ubuntu just to see the diff make sure you have dry ice handy or your comp will suffer a serious case of meltdown :d

I can only suggest take a guess at what year & month you remember getting the blind & search backwards from that date thru the gallery assuming it's a blind & not part of suit,in the mean time this one should temporarly cure your lack of blue withdrawl symptoms ;p https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?libid=1&search=7th%20ray

[quote] Lantec Try uninstalling again, run a clean up program and reboot. Turn off your Anti-Virus program and try reinstalling.disable any firewall as well.[/quote] Why would it be necessary to do that if the firewall blocks a program it will give a popup & let you know,it then gives option to ok or disable,if you accidently click disable it's possible to re-inable it by going into firewall settings & unblock it,if the entry is not there then the firewall is not the cause,

What's the point of adding rollup buttons when as Rick has shown in the first reply,that you have two options built into wb,double left click or single right click on mouse,unless of coarse it's for early wb4.0 or even wb5.0 ?

Reply to Cannot install Impulse in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

If your firewall blocked Impulse it would show up in the "blocked apps list" if it's not there it ain't the firewall causing the issue,as for turning it off in the first place *shakes head* it's your first line of defence not your antivirus Edit: Go get .NET2.0 & see what happens but don't delete any other .NETS you have installed as they're seperate of each other in other words one does not replace the other all are used
