Reply to Edge: MS says it’s the fastest W10 browser? Is it? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="5" id="3573487"] I haven't tried it much yet, but I certainly hope it's a good alternative so I can stop using Chrome. [/quote] I did not like it at first but with anything new you have to get use to it. It is growing on me. There are some tweaks you can do to make it a bit better

Reply to Upcoming skins from LightStar Technologies in Sneak Previews WinCustomize Forums

I know you will think I am bitching about your blind but there are a couple small things that would make the start menu perfect but maybe just perfect for me. I would like to see the same font used on the start menu as what you used for the title Flash Punk. I would remove the title from the start menu just because I have never been a fan of titles. We all know the name of the skin. Once the title was removed I would center the gauge to make everything symmetrical. You probably wont

Reply to Microsoft: Bait and switch. in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I downgraded from 8.1 to Windows 7. For the last couple weeks I have been dual booting 7 and 10. I never thought that I would but I am using 10 more than 7. I am getting use to pros and cons and have it set up so it is not that bad. I still will never get rid of 7 though. I am downloading Windows 10 10240 as I write this.

Reply to Interesting question…Time to dump Adobe Flash Player? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Well here is my experience with flash. I recently did a fresh Windows 7 install. Tried to watch a YouTube video and got the this site requires flash message. I downloaded adobe flash and once it was installed IE continually crashed. I spent a couple hours on Google searching for a fix and everything I tried did not work. After some thinking I recalled the problem occurred after the flash install so I completely deleted flash and voilà! no more crashes. Thanks Doc for the

I have not tried Cortana but I don't seem to be having the problems you had. I had no problem setting home page, I found screen saver settings without to much difficulty. I do agree though that the cosmetics suck. I am not about to jump into 10 yet and that is why I am dual booting.

What is your opinion so far Jim? I am dual booting it on my windows 7 machine and it seems to be running quite smoothly. I like that it is a lot faster than 7 but I still like the GUI of 7 better. Also is defender sufficient protection?

Any Audiophiles here? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This might be a first for the forums. I have many flac files on my hard drives. I need software that will convert/burn the flac to a dvd-a disc. Because mp3 sucks I do not want to convert them to mp3 with loss of quality . aac is better than mp3 but still not as good as burning the flack to make an audio dvd which I will play on my dvd or blu ray player. I found one program that is expensive and wondering if there are any members here that has ever made audio dvd

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="26" id="3563164"] Thanks for that info, JuniorCrooks. That sounds reasonable and relatively easy to do. If I start getting robocalls on my cell, I'll opt out.

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="7" id="3561597"] Consider Square Cash as an alternative, for person-to-person payments, anyway. Haven't looked at their TOU but I don't receive calls from them. We use PayPal for a fair number of online purchases as a convenience, but it's hardly necessary and certainly not worth intrusive marketing harassment. If it happens, I'll close the account for them.

Thank you Hankers. I realize uploads can take time, especially on weekends but it was the disappearing of both that threw me off. If I could have deleted the first one I would have thus illuminating the different file name confusion.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="4" id="3561524"] Right...the intent is clear, however. If you call them at any time from your phone (mobile), they'll have that number (it says in their Agreement they can do that), also, they can share that number with their affiliates and you'll be getting their numbers, too. In fact, they might just make you update your account on July 1st...then where will you be? [/quote] Look I know you will
