There are many progs you can't go wrong with dvdfab hd decrypter which scrofulous has suggested is good up to a point,it's free to rip,the rest of the functions are free for i think 30 days,Anydvd along with clonedvd & clonecd from slysoft never miss a beat,then we have nero recode tho it can't rip copy protections it is an excellant app to have in your arsenal,ok as for free programs well dvd fab as stated,dvd shrink which is the pre cursor to nero recode before nero got the developer to

Reformat & start again this time use an imaging program (listed below),create the first image after OS install,then another with a few of your most used apps,then another after a fully patched OS then add the rest of the 3rd party software starting from the most used to the least,obviously you won't want to so create one now actually make that two one time images,the time it takes to reformat & install the OS if you have an image you will have a fully operational updated OS ready to g

XP has it's own backward compatibility mode to run older games as tho you were using 95,98 etc,right click on the .exe select properties,navigate to compatibility,choose win 95,98 or whatever ?

[quote who="Dewie" reply="217" id="2593509"] Will the "quit" option be put back or is that permanent in that you will now have to use the sys tray icon to unload I'm not sure about that, but I'll bring it up. [/quote] cheers
[quote who="MichaelG04" reply="3" id="2593384"]so how exactly do u use these? OD+2 doesn't recognize them in the documents background folder it creates[/quote] I've replied to your thread, i agree with redneck there are now two back ground folders,one is in my docs the other going by reds post it seems od 2.0 places one in the prog files,that'll be how i have that one in another partition,however that one has folders inside back grounds,you would have to place the
I have two background folders one is in my docs which i assume was created by 1.90 i now have another which has been placed in a different partition (to save space in c) which has folders inside it so i assume it was created by 2.0,can't bloody remember how i managed to get that folder there.lol..however it seems my slider docks still work & they are in the docs back ground folder so not sure why there'd be two back ground folders,did you unzip the back ground first before placing in back

If it still won't install delete all .NET Framework (you may have to enable show all updates),then reboot do a registry clean with something like ccleaner ,then head to ms updates & re download .NET,I had an issue with xp a few weeks back where impulse refused to install,doing the afore mentioned fixed it
open the background folder
so contact stardock support instead of posting your email address on a public forum,better still remove it [e digicons]:banhammer:[/e]

ansury just bite the bloody bullet brother & buy object desktop,take a look in the gallery like i said all the apps are there with what they can look like,then you have peoples screenshots of their desktops in the screenshot section,if that ain't enough redneck dude has a stack of desktopx themes in the desktopx theme gallery makes your desktop look like something out of this world,well they say a picture tells a thousand words,how much reading do you want to continue doing,take the leap
Just look thru the downloads galleries,any skinners that make themes,widgets,objectbar,object dock have screen shots of what the thing will look like

Another reason to have impulse was stated last year,every piece of software that is a .exe has it's own installer that means you put more junk on the computer every time you install a program as any decent software will come with an installer (apart from safe software that run in their own folder),so doing away with stand alone installers & using impulse means only needing 1 installer not many,also makes updating less of a pain in the butt,as popups etc from impulse has nobody ever realiz
