I wish... same problem here. I am pretty sure that I read in another thread a couple months ago, that this was an issue. There is a bunch of "minor" problems and glitches in most of the software from STARDOCK. They just don't seem to be in any big hurry to fix any of them. They are generally consumed with writing new programs and major updates. Don't get me wrong... I am a happy customer, have been for 3-4 years now.

Reply to CPU confusion, need help making a choice in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Since 2000, I have built 4 computers with AMD processors, and for each build I would buy one of the newest most powerful processors AMD had at the time. Result was satisfying. I have just finished my latest rig, and after very extensive research, went with the Core I7 920 (2.66Ghz). Result was AMAZING, blows my mind everyday. The Core I7 architecture is the biggest jump for processors since the Pentium came along. It is absolutely awesome. Benefits include.

Reply to Update: my new rig is in my posession!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Your new rig looks like it has some strong areas, (ie. I5, 6gb, Seven 64bit, and GTX 260). The HD would make excellent storage when you install a 128gb or larger SSD. I am not a "rich" guy by any means, but the OCZ Agility 128gb SSD I installed a couple months ago upgraded everything in my rig. Absolutly the best upgrade I have EVER made.

Reply to Which web Browser do you use? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Firefox 3.5 1. The add-ons really make life easy in the infinate space of the internet. 2. It is extremely fast. 3. And is easily customizable and skinnable... (a really good skinning add-on is "Personas") 4. Thunderbird... I know it's not a browser but, it is an excellent email client in the Mozilla Family and relates well with Firefox.

[quote]Texas capped the malpractice insurance to 1/2 mil. But the cost didn't come down. Hehe.[/quote] That is still being argued in courts by LAWYERS and the ACLU, who are afraid of losing all that money. Surely, the decision will not come until the U.S. Supreme makes a ruling. (Months to Years down the road of argument, and after some more lawyers stretch the argument out making money all along the way.) True, the state did place that cap in Texas courts (not

This may sound cynical... But in my time on this planet, no matter what country you live in, when you are talking about politics... You will ALWAYS find your answer by asking "Who is in position to gain power and influence?" and "Who is going to make the money?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you aware that we cannot buy health insuran

Reply to Eulogy for a Dog in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I appreciate all of the condolences of the community, I know that most of us have lost a furry family member in the past. The eulogy was written by George Graham Vest. He was a lawyer and politician who served as a Missouri congressman, a Confederate Congressman during the Civil War, and finally a U.S. Senator. He is best known for his closing arguments from the trial of a dog named Old Drum in 1870. The speech was delivered in the Johnson County Circuit Court in War

yeah, It's verry nice. Blends well with almost anything... of course you already know, maxstyles is full of talented artists. In case you didn't notice that windowblind is applied to Windows 7 (no problems so far), but then again I don't have a keen eye for small problems like, certain pixels being out of place.

Just to experiment with it, I think that I am going to turn this into a music/media center. Something with the appearance of a recording studio with posters all over the place. My thoughts are that I might be able to get this thing to play a song our group of songs, simply by dragging a ("poster" or song) over the media player of choice. Then the media player automatically startup and play chosen song(s). Maybe a turntable icon for Winamp (audio files)

O.K............... I played with it for fifteen minutes, and yeah, it's pretty cool. Cant make up my mind if it's practical or not yet. It's nice that it does not interfere or "take over" your desktop. Stardock programs run fine with it, so far. It's likely that I will not use this program for everyday computer use, but I am going to keep it around for a while. Answer to my own question.... right now, It's just a cute toy.

http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-10213183-12.html I am about to give this a try... but I do not possess a touch screen. The post I read says the program will work with just a mouse... guess I'll find out. My predisposition is that this is most likely not a practical program to use for work, but it may be fun to play with.
