Reply to How do you protect your pc? in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Of course, you can always help your protection by NOT DOING STUPID THINGS. Stay away from the shadier parts of the Internet. If you really need to go there for some reason, download an Ubuntu live disc, and do it from there. Once you're done, restart, and your hard drive is untouched.

[quote who="playgroundlegend" reply="25" id="2441171"]Warcraft 3 and frozen throne both had zoom - how do you think they got the box art / screen shots?[/quote] I never once used the WCIII zoom on purpose. I have yet to find it useful. Not to say it isn't, but for me, there's no point to it.

Reply to Windows 7 and Old Windowblinds Theme in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

[quote who="Shirley" reply="9" id="2440690"]I find that if you use the small icons option for the Windows 7 taskbar that most Vista ready skins will do very well. Not 100% Win 7 ready, but good enough for daily use.[/quote] I prefer the small icons anyway, especially on my netbook. I'm all about screen real estate.

I tried playing Starcraft a few weeks ago, and couldn't stop myself from using my scroll wheel when I wanted to focus on a different part of the screen. Not that I was good at it to begin with, but now it's that much worse. [e digicons]X|[/e]

[quote who="morpheas768" reply="97" id="2439901"]What about Thief? (i havent played it so i am just asking)[/quote] It's status as an RPG is debatable, in my opinion, though certainly a solid game overall.

You may just need to have Windows scan your computer to update your Windows Experience Index. Go to Control Panel\Performance Information and Tools and hit the 'Refresh Now' button.

Reply to star wars vs. sins of solar empire in Everything Else Stardock Forums

There are a few problems with your proposition: -Are we comparing two universes? Because then you run into opinion based arguments, which are pretty much useless for comparing two things. -Are you asking which IP wins in profitability? In which case, are you only counting the movies? What about non-canon novels? Are you adjusting for inflation? -If you're asking whose spaceships would win in a fight, there are a ton of questions that need answer

Reply to Can't download Galatic Civ 2 Fails with Invalid file in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

MD5 errors can be caused by a few different things. Security software can cause corruption in downloads, so try adding exceptions to your AV/FW software and see if that helps. Also, we've seen a lot of cases where bad system memory can cause this (it actually happened to one of the guys in the office here). Try downloading THIS and run a scan. Let it go for a few passes if you can, just to be sure.

[quote who="FenceFan" reply="11" id="2438067"]Or are you gonna be screaming it from the roof tops?[/quote] Definitely screaming. I still need to figure out where the roof access is in this place, though. They told me on my first day there's an Olympic sized swimming pool up there, but I haven't checked it out yet.
