Reply to WC Poll: What Would Make You Want to Subscribe to WinCustomize? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I paid Stardock for a blog navigator which turned out to be a waste for a few reasons. Wincustomize is nothing more then a fun site, not worth paying for because I am already an annual subscriber to OD. Charging for Wincustomize in conjunction with OD - would make me have to re-consider my OD subscriptions overall value and cost; and I suspect many others would as well. A piece of advice - trying to turn this into a subscription site would be very costly. I know a

Don't buy window blinds buy object desktop instead,it works out more cost effective,below is the link to object desktop,you'll need to install stardock central to download it after you've paid for it,at the bottom of stardock central tick the box "auto-archive application on update" before downloading any of the apps you can then backup the archives to rom in case of any problems later and reinstall the apps. once you've paid for it you'll receive an email with the necessary details of

Your card is more than ample to run any blind,before upgrading my useless 32mb intergrated graphics which could run them inc ODock tabbed,cursor xp and right click all at the same time then 128 is more than enough,the only time i found it would do as you describe is when other apps were running say like do a defrag,scan for obsolete registry entries and attempt a switch of blinds then seizure would occur strangely enough it will still happen on the odd occasion even with the new AGP 256mb,my bel

Skinners would be lucky to be 1% of computer users,linux 0.2%, apple 00000.1% the rest are just ya average mums n dads who pretty much just do email and have no idea that the xp skin can actually be changed to classic ,the fact they can turn a comp on and not think it'll bite is suprise enough,then again just look at the stats for the percentage of malware infected computers that have no firewall installed etc.

If the comp you own is an off the shelf model i.e hp,dell etc then any driver updates will be supplied by the maker or microsoft auto update which will only leave any 3rd party hardware like dvd burners or graphics cards etc to see if any updates are available,which you can do yourself,the only time i'd use that proggy would be to list the current installed versions other than that it just takes up space
