OK, how do you get your internet? With us, the choices are cable or DSL. DSL runs at about 10 and cable runs 20 (although we pay for 35) The phone line hasn't been used in years and two many storms has made it so that we would have to replace it ($$$) if we wanted to use it. What happened to service to the house? When I test drove DSl a few years back, they kept taking my pair and giving it to someone else and then telling me it was my problem. "No mam, this is not the symptom that

For the professional football fans out there... Happy 100th Birthday to Ace Parker Ace Parker, a phenomenal two-sport star, of the 1930s and ‘40s, turned 100 years old today. The Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback, who was born in Portsmouth, Va. on this day in 1912, is the first member of

I put three of my slide-show type screen savers on the server. One was rather old but the other two I had worked on recently. I might re-work them some in the future, but they are pleasant as they are. One is very large file size due to the number of photos and because it has music. Music always adds size. The subjects are Favorites (travel and such) Roses (lots of roses) and Flowers (not as many, the oldest one) Please check them out and let me know how you like them.

Three machines, Win 7 x64 god, XP slave wired, Vista x64 slave wireless. all are on the same net. Network name, mask, etc. I have never had problems in the... er... 8 or so years I've used it, although this is the first year to have one machine wireless. I would guess that something is dropping at the router. Either signal wise or perhaps even some type of filter? My wireless is authenticated, not sure if that makes it more stable or not. Perhaps even someone else's non au

[quote quoting="post"] NSW Mental Health Minister Kevin Humphries recalled when Mr Ritchie was named a Local Hero in the 2011 Australian of the Year Awards. "Upon accepting the award Mr Ritchie urged people to never be afraid to speak to those most in need," he said. "Always remember the power of the simple smile, a helping hand, a listening ear and a kind word." [/quote] Amen, Mr. Ritchie, Amen. God bless you, I'm sure y

I saw an article (TV type) about music pirating. You would think that hard-copy would be out of style, but I digress. They burned identical CD/DVD (movies too) of the disk, made identical labels (either painted on or stick on) packaged them in similar crystals and sent them off via valid distributors who thought they were buying the real thing at an exceptionally good price (to give them credit) Since one couldn't tell the difference between products and since they played the same for the

Sheesh. My poor head is having flash backs of a time when 200W was normal, 250W was really adequate and 300W was screaming. I hazard to guess what is in that XT box sitting in the corner there happily running it's web cam (I even asked it to work on some graphics today because it has a program that won't run on Vista or 7) I bet it is not over 250W but maybe only 200W. It's Monday now. What's the verdict?

I knew someone would mention OO. Which reminds me, I still haven't installed on this machine yet. I'm doing one program at a time and checking for stability. I don't want to blow it up like I did last time. I'm dogged determined to figure this out with Excel (the ol' stubborn streak) I haven't even poked around with the OO database, I've mostly been using it to make PDF for the graphics for my books.

I want that icon available for all of my shortcuts. I have one folder with 300mb of icons. I'm not going to move it to the executable folder of the program. The problems I have been having lately I need just one less thing to mess with. I saw that add folder feature and thought it would be great. the older OD Plus automatically read C:\users\username\documents\stardock to find things. This new version does not, all it reads is the executables folders.

Before anyone spouts off with, "Excel isn't a spread sheet" I know that. If I could afford it I would get Access. I'm remotely familiar with Access having created a couple of commercial apps in the far past. But, alas, I have Excel. I taught and acted as a instructor aide, also in the far past, so I can do just about anything normal (did I say NORMAL?) with Excel. If I can't do them, then I know it can be done and research them. We're talking plan ol' office type stuff, no

[quote who="Frankief" reply="15" id="3151352"]You simply click on "add folder" and a window opens so you can browse to the folder of your choice.[/quote] It don't do that. It lets you browse happily, then you have to have an icon to click on, and then all it does is use the icon and the folder isn't there. (except where it remembers the folder where you got the icon, you still have to browse again if you want to do another shortcut)

No no no. Not ON a dock. When you choose an ICON for your thing-a-ma-bob that lives on the dock it dumps you into a folder with some icons in the executable folder. Then up at the top is an address bar to go browse to find more icons to choose from. Good and nice, like it used to be. BUT there is a choice, "Add folder to library" How do I do that? (in the screen shot the Colorfulpaint icons are there - but if I started a new shortcut they wouldn't be a choice without browsing)

You beat me red... I hate typing alphabet soup and like that way better. Works great. Either way it has something to do with linking anything in the system folder - to prevent bugs and exploits and all that. (then why can't they use the sysnative route?)

I heard about that happening once. The hubby fixed the 'puter and it ran so much better than his that he passed his one to the missus and kept the newly repaired pc for himself. You be nice now, she gets the new toys. PS. Get her a new web cam, OK? We want to see more movies. With music this time.

Don't forget that you have access to the downloads FOREVER. You sign on to your account, go to the programs you have bought and there are the link to download it again as well as the serial number. I have things on my list that I bought years ago and no longer work on Windows 7. They'd work on my XP machine if I wanted them. It is a great method, I have a couple of folks I have bought from who use the technique, but I like Stardock's best.

There are a couple of them that say RSS. If you plug them in and use them a while (hour) you get about 100 choices for wallpaper. One says "BING" on everything, the other not. Move them from the appsdata directory they are downloaded to and you have wonderful choices. I sort them into directories to use with the rotating wallpaper feature of DesktopX DeskScapes (or use the built-in one for Win 7)
