Reply to Updating/Flashing Bios in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

My first horror story involves an Asus board. MSI has a pretty good system for flashing 'em. It's still more reliable to just order a new BIOS chip though. The one for my MSI board was only about $15 as I recall.

I don't think it will work. There are so many horror stories about failed BIOS flashes (I could tell you a couple myself). If I were you, I'd contact the mobo manufacturer and just order an updated bios chip. They're easy to replace...just shutdown your computer and pop it out with a small screwdriver. Pop the new one in and voila...all better.

Reply to What program to use for skin art in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Paint Shop Pro is MUCH cheaper than Photoshop. Keep in mind that even MS Paint (you know, the prog that comes with windows) can be used to do most of this stuff...it's just not as easy. Me...I use Paint Shop Pro 8.

How about architects that design a commercial building that is beautifully landscaped, to the point that the loading/unloading docks are almost completely unusable due to the fact the access road twists and turns all over the place, and the area in front of the dock doors lacks about 3 feet of room to maneuver a truck in. Or designers that make cup holders that fit no known bottle or cup, and dump it on the floor the first bump you hit. Or engineers that decided that a 4 inch f

The animated docklet that comes with OD is just a demonstration of an animated image. AndreasV created an animated shortcut docklet using this feature. Get it here... https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=29&SkinID=2074

After watching the crap my girlfriend had to go through with her DELL, I wouldn't have one for a doorstop. She never did get her problem sorted out, either...despite several hard drives, a couple of motherboards, a power supply, and countless hours on the phone. Build your own...it's easier than you think, you get more bang for your buck, and you'll have a system that you can actually upgrade because the stuff in it isn't all proprietary (although the major manufacturers HAVE been getting bet

I had the same problem. My solution was to uninstall WB through add/remove programs, and then delete the WB folder completely. When I did a fresh install, the problem went away.

Reply to Clitch in WB4.20? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

bmetelsky...I had the same problem. I fixed it by uninstalling WB through add/remove programs in the control panel, and then deleting the Wb folder (and then removing it from the recycle bin, just in case). When I reinstalled it, no more problem. I'm still waiting for them to fix the titlebar text bug myself.

Reply to Some feature suggestions for WB/SKS in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

That only works if you're using UIS1. Unfortunately, as near as I can tell, with UIS1 you're also limited to a certain size for your window border graphics. Be nice to have the cake and eat it to...maybe a UIS3? Also, I hope that the titlebar text issue gets resolved. If and when it does, I'll actually be able to create some skins as originally conceived.
