#9 by Skinner Iben - 5/29/2003 8:40:21 PM Exactly what are you trying to do again. I'm a Little unsure. If you click on my name, you will see my desktop icon text is black. I've always had 'apply the skins color theme' unchecked because when I would reboot, the text would change back to white when it was checked. Really wasn't mi

So I need some help with Windowblinds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

As you may of read in my other thread, I was having problems with Windowblinds skinning the entire display properties background and other backgrounds. I had 'apply the skins color scheme' unchecked and the reason is because I have my desktop icon text black and when I would reboot with that checked it would turn back to white. Checking that, the windows are fully skinned and I've had it unchecked since the first version of Windows I've used. Now with that checked, when I appl

Reply to Watch your XP updates...again!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

So what the hell is the name of it so I can get rid of it? I was on the phone with Comcast for over 2 hours with this problem. I'm pretty sure I was experiencing it before Friday though. I'll try to connect to a site, it will say 'page cannot be displayed' then I'll refresh and it'll come right up. Sometimes, the page won't be displayed after 2 or 3 refreshes and then on the 4th it will come right up. Sometimes it just crawls....been fine today.

Reply to What am I missing here (Windowblonds not skinning backgrounds fully)? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

No, no, no, with some skins, both the entire display properties window and the run window is fully skinned like displayed in the screenshot of the respected skin. On other skins, it shows it's supposed to be skinned which is displayed in the screenshot, however it does not fully skin it leaving out the borders like shown above. I believe you are talkin about the Windows Explorer backgrounds? Anybody know whats goin on?

Compare the XP Corona skin screenshot to mine (sorry, Imagestation shrinks my pictures down) Screenshot: http://skins.wincustomize.com/Pixtudio/wb/xpcorona.jpg Mine: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid63/pa3f950df60f7731a3d6c7d3ef1f6a8ad/fc0f88b7.jpg The run backround is not skinned and neither are the borders on the disply properties window. Here is the Longhorn skin on my desktop, same thing: http://www.imagestation.com/pict

Reply to So I'm having trouble with my CPU usage being stuck at 100% in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Fuzzy I'm all good there and I'm all good there Tryzub. Chas, I use TweakXP and are you talkin about optimizing Memory from TweakXP? Yeah, I also use Diskeeper (which I'm sure you read already) and today it took almost 7 hours to defrag. Only happens on C though and E (which is a partition) is fine along with D and F which are a separate drive. Before, it never took longer than 2 hours. I use ASO or Advanced System Optimizer to optimize my registry. <b

Reply to So I'm having trouble with my CPU usage being stuck at 100% in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

§tatic, I've always had it manually set. KarmaGirl, right now I don't have Windowblinds installed. Windows Explorer still does it. I've noticed my IEs are takin up the CPU usage (with Windows Explorer and watching the processes on task manager). Like I'll have Outlook Express open with 3 IEs and WMP, then I'll bring up Windows Explorer, click on a folder and it'll do it. I right clicked all the IEs on the taskbar and closed them real quick and it stopped whereas

I watched the processes tab while analyzing and also sorted the processes by CPU usage. Like I said, the respected optimizers are takin up the CPU usage. I know it's normal to spike @ 100% and maybe stay there for a little. But the disk activity light stops after 10-15 seconds when analyzing and the CPU usage stays at 100 % for 1-2 minutes. That is not right. Then like I said, after 1-2 minutes, the light will come back on and then stop again, with the CPU usage being stuck at 100%.

Anthony, I did not see your reply when I just posted. The respected optimizers are what is taking up the CPU usage. Like I said, one day I went to analyze and it started occuring. Have uninstalled both with the same results after reinstalling. When I start analyzing, the light will show disk activity for about 10-15 seconds, then it will stop and the CPU usage jumps to 100% for about 1-2 minutes, after following what I said above. No viruses and no trojans,

So I'm having trouble with my CPU usage being stuck at 100% in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hey, this started happening about 1-2 months ago. I'm on XP Professional and a 750 AMD w/GeForce 2 and 512 megs of ram. When I go to Windows Explorer and click on a folder, everything would refresh and Sysmetrix would read 100% CPU usage and it would stay like that for about a minute. I close Windows Explorer, let it finish and when it's done open it back up again and everything is fine. This happens everytime I reboot. It also happens when I optimize and analyze. I use No

How do I get rid of this (images from certain WB skins)? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ok, so I noticed this first on the Longhorn skin and now the Windows Reloaded skin. Imagestation shrinks it down. Bottom right, big blue circle with a musical note: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid62/pf648f9af057571aad630ad41284788d8/fc1bf191.jpg The Longhorn skin had a smaller image with a little girl and was bearable. There are other images with something different in the middle with this skin. First, has anybody else noticed this? Second, I
