Reply to Automatic System Cleaner–Free App to Fix Windows After Viral Attack in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

That might be a good thing to check out, but, it wouldn't have helped me. When I hit execute, it downloaded a bunch of programs and when it tried to run, BAM!, my system shut down. Then when it tried to reboot, I couldn't get past the animation (Win7 Flag). There was about a 2 second blue screen (to fast to read anything), then it would try to reboot again. I couldn't even get back in the system in safe mode, to do any repairs or restores. I'll just cho

No logs. Did a clean windows install (after the fact). Just glad I do regular backups. Learned that the hard way, years ago. Don't think it was anything else. Does seem odd, that I would have a crash, seconds after I hit execute . Was trying it, if it worked, I could get rid of about 5 or 6 other programs, that this one does. It was just an idea. I'll just stick with what I know works, that I've used for years

USE AT OWN RISK! [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e] Tried it yesterday, at this time. Complete system CRASH! I just now got everything (windows, updates and apps.) reinstalled. Luckily I had all the skins I'm working on backed up. Stupid me, for not just sticking to what works. Had to try something new.

It looks wild and interesting. Very different. [quote who="Wizard1956" reply="11" id="3431437"]Artistically, it looks awesome! Realistically, I have to agree with madcat21 that (and this is just my opinion) the frame looks too bulky. With todays wider and larger monitors, it should still look great, but that is going to be taking up a lot of screen space, especially on a laptop.[/quote][quote who="neone6" reply="12" id="3431443"]No, I totally disagree.

I agree with AzDude, the wallpapers do need a size maker for downloads. As for the site, I know she worked hard on the look of the site (being one of my fav skinners) but it is out of date. If I had to guess, I'd imagine the new site, would be a more flat, block look like St

Reply to Apple reinvents the wheel - sort of... in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

That's OK. I'll stick with my Mac Mini, for now. The price on the Mac Pro is way beyond me. I know this is a Windows site, but I like the best of both worlds. I use Windows (75%) for skinning and Apple (25%) for web design and testing. Just like everything, they have their hiccups from time to time. When Windows 7 came out, I was kicking and screaming I'd never use it. Was using XP at the time. Now I'll never go back.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="89" id="3426721"]I think that not being 'forgotten' also involves participation...not to the exclusion of everything else in that person's life, but with a certain 'presence'... like updating classics (Concept, Continuum, sheesh! So many!!!)[/quote] I'll agree with that. Presence is always a factor. Also, I looked and there are a lot of Masters that have been absent for over a year. My reason was my computer crashed

There were some really great skins entered. Hats off to all the entries. Good luck. I am disappointed on one thing. That a few judges voted only a few hours (or earlier) after the last skin was submitted. Almost like there finger was hovering over the send button. Maybe next time, have an official voting day planned. Have them look at them, over the weekend and vote on Monday. Just a suggestion. [e digicons]:sun:[/e]
