Reply to I need some help with virus infection on pc in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

Ditto with the reformat,one more thing & it's free, macrium reflect it's an imaging program,only point i need to make is you need to create one time images (not to be confused with cloning as that's the whole hard drive including partitions),also it pays to have two copies of an image on seperate hdd's & take the images as you go starting from initial install http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp CNET,PCWorld are good places to get free securityware

Reply to What Are Your Current Impressions of Windows 7? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Lantec" reply="11" id="2580751"] think it is the best Windows there ever was I have to agree. Starting with the release candidate I've seen 0 BSODs My only complaints..... I prefer the XP Start Menu's "More Programs" ......I can see everything in a glance........... The other issue is with 16 bit app support. I've still got a couple I need to use from time to time. I installed VMLite to run them in XP Mode.[/quote]<

Reply to eh? Pay for Object Dock 2.0 Beta? Without even a new Feature list? in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="sixshot" reply="19" id="2533994"]I'm a bit miffed that we'd have to pay 10 bucks to upgrade to v2.0. OD+ has been around for eons and the product page makes no mention of how far your future upgrades can go. So if a new customer tried out ObjectDock, pays for + features, and then v2.0 is released many many months later. Then you charge $10 for people who want to upgrade? Yes, there are things like a lifetime license (aka pay-once) and some are marketed

Reply to This hard drive has thwarted me at every turn.... in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

If that's the best drive image can do then dump it for acronis or ghost or there's always macrium reflect which is free,there should be no need to have to use a particular size partition when imaging to another drive as it can be set to proportional or reduce or increase the about to be new clone that includes using all the drive,you can if need be clone or image to a smaller drive so long as the data does'nt exceed the drives capacity,personally i prefer images as my storage vessels

Reply to Object Desktop Question in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

If you decide you don't want to renew subs for a bit be sure to archive the apps before it ends otherwise you won't have anything to restore,impulse only shows the latest it doesn't list your subs cut off point or any apps you were entitled to before subs end,that also means you need to use a method to store them externally from the comp in case of failure,it will save a hassle of starting a support ticket to retrieve stuff...

Reply to help in Help WinCustomize Forums

You are correct windowblinds is not my colors & nor should it be,sometimes a wallpaper maybe included the reason for that is the skinners frequently get asked for said wallpaper. The windowblind preview window before applying any particular blind shows exactly what is about to be applied,there are no icons,widgets or docks etc. Objectdesktop apart from dx themes & theme manager allows one to mix n match to suit your own tastes with skins & icons from the skin galle
