Reply to Screensavers for XP Performance in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

Never heard of xp perfomance edition with SP2 unless you mean limited 3rd party crap installed & running,anyway go to the screensaver tab & use drop down & select "MY PICTURES SLIDESHOW",or there's always webshots which can change wallpaper at sheduled times from 1minute to whatever or just use the screensaver function,there's also irfanview but i'm not sure if it's free or if it's what you're after,there's another called fastone that's free & quite good http://www.fastone.org

Reply to Site Slowness and Connection Problems in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

There's more than just the server at stardock & the isp you use,there's a whole stack in between & more than likley that's where the issue is,the post by M-203 shows that,one would have to assume that packets would get routed thru the path of least resistance if other servers are full ?? oddly enough tho it seems fine from NZ,occasionally it'll be a bit slower but for the most part logging on n stuff is'nt an issue at anytime of day.

Becarefull not to set the DPI too high other wise if you decide to change a setting & need to hit the apply button in the little window you may find it extends below the taskbar,you may be able to make use of a screen magnifier,i use this one on my pc connected to the tv as the screen res makes the icons etc really small & i can't be bothered changing to 800x600 everytime (there's only two settings as the tv's an old crt),it has a few common presets that can be independently sel

Not sure if it would be relatively simple & safe,anyhow i'd like a software added that can change that dam windows startup tune,"man" it pisses me off everytime i hear it,similar to the soundpackager software but for startup unless it can be incorporated into sp. The option to archive vista stuff even only if you have xp,i still would like to create an archive. A one touch create windowblind button & desktopx theme button too,oh yeah & objectbar as well ;p

Reply to WB don't work for me in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

You'd still need to run ccleaner after uninstalling trial version of wb is my understanding Make sure the Nvidia Nview is turned off this is a must I'd uninstall wb from impulse then restart,run ccleaner then use impulse to re-install wb hopefully all will be fine this time Since you're on vista i can't help much further

[quote]Does sdmcp.exe have to be running now that Impulse.exe is running in processes? I like the new color much better and it loads so much quicker. I do think updating software automatically should be optional on a per program basis. Thanks for all the hard work Stardock!

In your power options you can set "TURN OFF HARD DISKS" after x amount of time,basicly it switches off any hdd that's not in use,it most probably does'nt save much in way of power but no point in having a drive continual spinning either,i use that option for my small 4GB 2ndry which is used as my pagefile

Pretty hard to take topic starter seriously or even believe he's bought a previous version of wb when in the same paragraph won't pay for an app he considers a good one & then uses a lame exscuse as to why,also where's the backup of the claim regarding bugs,what bugs are being referred too there's no mention,nahhh this smacks of i want it for free & if it ain't it's buggy crap type posts,there's plenty i see on my travels round the net Edit:A good workman never blames his tools...nough
