Reply to Virtual Memory Question in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Has anyone tried moving the page file to a USB ready boost 4 gig thumb drive? In theory, it should be faster than a hard drive. Think I'll try it and see. :)

Something to consider when moving your page file to the second hard drive, only do this if your second hard drive is internal. If it is an external USB drive the access time is going to increase dramatically which would slow your system down.

Snowman or Zub... The turntable...how well does it work? Is the speed ok...is it adjustable? Is the stylus any good? Is it magnetic or ceramic? How well does the old vinyl convert to digital? If it’s worth it, I need to get me one of those. :)

Oh, the proud parent of a water cooler. :D It looks really good. Personally, I am a bit afraid of mixing water and electronics. I find that once the magic smoke leaks out, I end up buying a new system. ;)

I found the original site way back around the time Al Gore invented the internet and just had to join. I was MIA for a few years after that and when I came back I found that I had either forgotten my password or my account had been closed. Since the email addy I joined with was from 3 ISPs prior, I created a new account and added a 1 to my moniker. I was drawn back by the release of DeskScapes and the Dream gallery. Once I raped and pillaged the gallery dry, I decided to start creating my o

JediMagoo...it appears that you are correct. I assumed that the preview would play the dreams in the gallery. I was mistaken.

Question about the DeskScapes preview. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Will it allow you to run the dreams that are posted in the gallery or are you limited to the ones that come with the preview? Since I have the full version loaded on my PC, I have no way to test this.

Dee, I'm surprised you noticed the loop as it should be seamless. If you are noticing a slight hiccup when it loops you may have some codec incompatibility. Check out the following Stardock page that covers codecs, it may be of some help. [link="https://www.stardock.com/products/deskscapes/nocodec.asp"]WWW Link[/link] When Dreamscence and Deskscapes first came out I had a hiccup problem that ended up being caused by Nero 7. I uninstalled it and the problem went away.

You can use winrar to create a install file to use. Navagate to the directory were the blind is stored, highlight all of the contents, right click and choose add to zip, and it will zip all of the files into 1 file. Name that file whatever.wba. You now have a install file. I have Windows Vista. To create a install file for the blind "Diamond" that comes with WB6 I would navigate to C:\users\public\documents\stardock\windowblinds\diamond.

Yesterday, I installed a few updates that were just released. Are the ones that ID is refering to dated today or yesterday? I'm currently at work and am not able to check. Since Tuesday is when Microsoft's releases most updates, I'm wondering if they released something special today.
