ASUS Radeon 9600 SE. Paid $109.00 Canadian. Runs everything fine. In one of my other machines, onboard Intel Extreme Graphics. Runs fine too. ( a little less so than the first one, but still acceptable.)

Found this little tweak for getting rid of that annoying little secuity sheild logo in the tray.... 1. If you're familiar with the Windows Command Prompt, open it (choose Start > Run > type: cmd > press Enter) type these two lines in succession: sc stop wscsvc sc config wscsvc start= demand (Note: The space after the equals sign is required.) To reverse these steps, use these two commands entered the same way: sc start wscsvc sc con

A month ago I lost my father to cancer. It was a long hard battle for him. My own sadness cannot be expressed properly in this forum. I will quote the one line that I have always like, originally said by Heywood Brown. "The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins."

From Heathers with Christian Slater and Winona Ryder: “Football season is over, Veronica. Kurt and Ram had nothing left to offer the school except for date rapes and AIDS jokes." and "This is Ohio. If you don't have a brewski in your hand you might as well be wearing a dress.” .....there are many, many more great lines from this flick.

Really, it's just a service pack. Doesn't make it any worse, and from what I've seen, doesn't make it much better. All the little intrusive things that annoyed me after I upgraded, I just turned them off. No big deal. However, there have been a lot of fixes and some of them might be helpful to some people.

From my experience with SP2 so far, I would recommend downloading it. To be on the safe side, give it a couple of months after the download is posted on Windows Update to give the general public time to use it and find any more small problems. That way, once you do download and install it, it should be functioning almost perfectly. For the problem that I mentioned in my original post in th

Possible solution found: I'm not sure if this was fixed by the good people at Wincustomize or if I accidentally fixed it myself. The bottom line is the .wba file extension is now recognized by SP2. The only thing I did to my computer recently was install the Microsoft .NET Framework update from Windows Update. [Message Edited]

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat. "I don't much care where " said Alice. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat. " so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation. "Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough." -Lewis Carroll

From Alice B. Toklas' now famous cookbook: Alice, in a hurry to publish her cookbook and having only enough recipes to fill half a book, called on the help of her friends to submit recipes to her. Brion Gysin, a bit of a practical joker submitted the following recipe. Alice didn't take the time to read it over and test it out..... Brion Gysin came up with "Haschich Fudge, which anyone could whip up on a rainy day." By way of introduction he gushed, "This is the food of Paradi

I'm using version 6.2 of Explorer Plus. It also has a .zip handling feature. It makes no difference to the problem I reported in the original post. When downloading the file, either automatically or using right-click, save target as..., explorer sees a .wba file as a .zip file and saves it as one. I've tried a number of setting changes in Windows XP SP2. Nothing is working so far. However, I

Just noticed this problem today. When clicking on the Download link for a Windowblinds skin, SP2 pops up a window asking if you wish to Open or Save the file. Also, the file has been changed from the familiar .wba extension to a .zip extension. If you choose to Open the file then Explorer opens the file as a .zip showing all the contents of the file. However, the convenient instant download and install does not happen. If you choose to

Thanks Orion. In addition, some may like to know that the rumors about this update maybe causing some problems with networks might be erroneous. Again, I will stress that I'm speaking from my own experience, but I have a small home office network of three computers, all running XP. I updated the other two computers across the network. One computer is a 2 Ghz. Celeron system with an MSI motherboa
