Reply to “Mandatory Updates” for home users “relaxed” by MS in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

A couple years ago, I became suspicious when my system seemed to slow down every time I would install the latest security patch updates from Microsoft. Since I had invested in a very good Anti-virus program that I was extremely happy with, I suspected that the patches were actually causing conflicts with my anti-virus. As an experiment, I uninstalled most all of the security patches that I could and just trusted my own security. I found that my system returned

man.....that's messed up Jim. After many years with the same hosting company , mine shut down and I was forced to look elsewhere for a solution. After many trials with half a dozen free companies that turned out to be crap, I gave in and got a paid service. Image Shack wasn't too bad, price-wise, and it was a one-off payment for an entire year with unlimited content. Considering the amount of preview links I use to display my icon packages, it seems wel

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="13" id="3571653"] In all honesty, there's something seriously wrong with a company which places a special icon in your system tray to get W10, but hasn't got a simple and clear method of notifying those who are members of their "insider program" that there's a new build available. [/quote] I agree, Doc. I'm an "insider" and haven't received jack-squat.

I've been using Avast Pro Anti-virus for a couple years now. It's very light weight on my system and you would never know it was even there until it detects a threat. It's very affordable for most anyone and I highly recommend it if you are in the market for dependable and hassle free protection. -- Ace --

Reply to McAfee Raptor and Stinger…free but as yet untried in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have been using Avast Pro Anti-virus for the past 2 years. It is relatively inexpensive , runs quietly in the background and does not become annoying as some anti-viruses have a tendency to become. I chose it 2 years ago because it was rated #2 in a benchmark comparison to other well known anti-viruses. The only reason I didn't get the number #1 rated was because it was relatively new in the market and was still in Beta ( don't recall the name of it )

Reply to How do I fix this skin? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

It appears that you may be using Firefox as your browser of choice. I use Google Chrome as my default browser and sometimes I will use Internet Explorer 11 for watching my video apps. I haven't experienced the issue you seem to be having with this particular skin ( I'm on Win7 64 bit ), so I'm thinking it may go back to being a browser - rendering issue. -- Ace --

Thanks Doc, I'm over it and not really motivated to try it again. I've still got a lot of creativity swirling around in my head and I guess it's time for a new start with some new material.

Reply to Icon Packager in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Just out of curiosity Kevin , are you using the "Package builder" function button to create your packages or are you going through the user Interface and changing the icons individually and then "saving as" a package ? I don't know why, but when I create my own personal packages, the latter method seems to work way better for me than the Package Builder method. -- Ace --

I may as well let you guys in on a little secret here in the spirit of full disclosure. I know this had nothing to do with support, but it did contribute to my dark mood and bad behavior. My Win7 OS had gotten to the point where it was so glitchy, I finally gave up and decided a clean re-install was the only option left. So....I started transferring some of my very large and important files to my backup drive. All seemed to go well and I proceeded with the new

I don't know where the support section is. The knowledge base is not relavent to the issue, The issue has been addressed by support , their solution simply does not work. And lastly, I don't care much for your snippy attitude.
