[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="11" id="3591572"] And seriously? A Full screen ad? I could see this on maybe the game sites, but this is WC. Bad form, Stardock! [/quote] Not quite full page but pretty damn close.
[quote who="ALMonty" reply="7" id="3591564"] Junior same exact thing is happening to me. Even with Adblock. [/quote] I am quite surprised about this. I hope it is not going to be an on going thing.
[quote who="WOM" reply="5" id="3591561"] Used to get the scrolling WC ad's on home page but not now as I put on adblock plus. [/quote] If I use adblock plus for wincustomize my home page has no images at all. I cannot see any new gallery submissions.
[quote who="LightStar" reply="3" id="3591558"] I use Adblock Plus here JC and just exclude WC in the settings which fixes the homepage issue. As far as an ad popping up, not getting that at all here. Anyone else getting the popup ad? [/quote] I actually have adblock disabled for the site and that is the reason I am getting the popup. I suspect that if I was to enable adblock I would not get the pop-up but then my home page is all wonky. Dave I also have had it for 4
By the way this is more than just your small little typical ad that shows off to one side or in a corner, it is a large pop-up that takes up most of my laptop screen that I have to close every time I open the site.
Why am I getting a pop-up for 75% off games every time I open the wincustomize site? I do not play games and even if I did it is annoying. If I use adblock plus for the wincustomize site it screws up my home page. The other thing is I was under the understanding that as a subscriber you do not get the ads. What is the solution to get rid of the ads? I am not impressed Stardock would be doing this sort of thing.

So I take it you never got Windows 7 past the blue screen? I realize the article link deals with a different symptom but the root cause is the same. Windows 7 did not come default usb3 drivers so they need to be updated the way the article explains by Updating and replacing the boot.wim and install.wim files. I have an iso with it already done.

I agree with what you are saying starkers. My seagate is not a powered external but I do have a couple I could try to see if there are any speed differences. Its hard to imagine that speed would improve over what I have now. Does it make sense the way I installed windows 7 on the external by creating its own partition? I made a large partition just for the operating system 80gb but I do not store files on that partition. I use the rest of the hard drive for files. I found doing it tha

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="22" id="3590318"] Ken, I installed Win7 on my 3.0 portable hdd and when it gets to the boot screen, it BSODs on me. Any idea why? [/quote] I might know. I will send you an email.

No Problem Jim. You might try an external hard drive and have a different experience than me. There are probably a lot of variables that will give a different outcome. One thing i found that made a difference is when I made a separate partition dedicated for the operating system. The first time I installed windows 7 on the external I did not do that and when I loaded a lot of files on the hard drive, running 7 was noticeably slower. If you don't need your optical installing anothe

I wrote my comments based on operating speed not data transfer speed. I shared a video with Jim proving that an operating system on an external is not slow. I see no difference at all using the external verses the internal hard drive to run Windows 7. You can debate with me all you like about how things are suppose work and even show me fancy performance charts but the proof is in the pudding and I happen to have the pudding. Yes maybe data transfer is slower but for me it is still tolerable

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="10" id="3590006"] I got the email, but it seems to be a pic, not a vid. It isn't necessary, Ken. I believe you. I just wish I had the same experience. I have 2 USB 3.0 drives but I have never tried to boot an OS from one. I have done file transfers and that is much slower than moving things about internally. My post isn't about running an OS from external. It's about adding a secon

Jim I just made and sent you a video so you can see that I was not feeding you a bunch of BS about speed. The video quality is not the best because I made it on a cheap camera.

Jim I knew you would challenge me on the speed thing and I am not saying that it is not suppose to be true but I am telling you that I do not notice a difference. I would be happy to make a youtube video showing the external in action. There is no lag, when I click on things they open immediately. Now I will say that the first time I installed Windows 7 on the same usb hard drive it was slower but I also had the hard drive full of programs and files. The second install I made a separate parti

Well I can see it if you don't need or want the optical but something I need to debunk is the speed. I do not notice any speed drop using the usb hard drive. It might be a little slower booting but I am not even sure about that. When I ran the experience index the rating only dropped half a point over having windows 7 install on the machine. If you used a USB 3 or SS hard drive speed should improve. Perhaps a laptop should be self contained as you have said but look at the size of that ha

Again as I have been saying in other threads why not just use a usb external and save your optical drive. I have Windows 7 installed on a 500gb Seagate which I run on my Windows 10 laptop and it works like a charm.

I run Windows 10 on my laptop and installed Windows 7 on an external Seagate USB 500gb hard drive. I have windows 7 set in bios to boot first and if I want Windows 10 I simply restart and unplug the Seagate. I was dual booting for a while but I think my laptop hard drive is getting bad so if it does go at least I have my

No that did not do it for me. Installed it and it is enabled but still no buttons. Maybe there is a setting but I cannot find it under the classic theme restorer settings. For me the solution would be easy if excluding Firefox from being skinned by windowblinds worked. I am not sure why it is not recognizing Firefox.

I have Windows 7 installed on an external hard drive which i use when I get tired of looking at Windows 10. Everything is working fine with the exception that when I use Windowblinds (any skin except the default Microsoft theme) my Firefox buttons disappear. I added Firefox.exe to be excluded in the Windowblinds settings but it is still being skinned. Anyone know what is going on here. <img src="http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii593/canuckken/firefox%20exception.jpg" alt="" width=
