Spybot Search and Destroy is great, and its free. It can fix registry issues too. The best all around utility for XP is TweakXP. Norton is good, but these two take it a few steps further. Good Luck.

A hard drive doesn't need a bay like CD Rom drives or floppy drives. This is because the drive doesn't need to be accessible from the outside of the case. Most cases have an extra slot below the primary hard drive. Most hard drives have jumper cables already built-in for a second hard drive. Just configure the second one to work as a slave, or you will have big problems. And before you place it sideways or upside down, make sure the drive documentation says that it can work properly that way.

1. Homosexuals are not born that way. They are born a man or a woman. Homosexuality is a choosen sexuality. Whether one is conditioned to continue that behavior does not mean they are born that way. No one has found a homosexuality gene. That is ridiculous. Someone can be born a herione addict, but as they grow, it becomes a choice. 2. No one is born a pedophile either. It is a Psychological abnormailty caused by childhood trauma or other such trauma or psychologial abnormality. Homosex

It is safer to upgrade the CPU. It would seem difficult to add extra cooling to a laptop. You can probably get a 2.6 Ghz CPU overdrive. I did that years ago to boost a PI 100 to a PI 200. More RAM helps too. [Message Edited]

All this controversy will definitely hurt MJ's career. His whole life from a child was abnormal, and abusive from what I've seen and read. It's no surprise that his adult life is this way. All of his fame and money came with a heavy price.

Well, I guess you squashed my joke marathon. I'll go back to working on my new WB skin. But, you can't download it when I'm through, Old Crab.

My ex-gf sent me these, saying "aren't you glad we didn't get married." The answer was yes, before I read them. 1. Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence (a life sentence). 2. Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind. 3. Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering. 4. Married life is full of excitement and frustration: In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listen

I just thought I'd start a new thread for it. Here's the start. THOSE FLORIDA DRIVERS An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried. The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way." A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard." He says. "She got

I always shut down my computer for two reasons. One reason is the unnecessary power consumption. With the fear of a power shortage, blackouts and such, I feel it neccessary to conserve our resources. Secondly, I once lost a motherboard during a power blackout when suddenly the power came back on and surged my system. Now, whenever the power blackouts, I always turn off my computer until the power re-stabilizes, despite my numerous surge protectors. And, I always turn off my computer to

Personally, I just won't pass judgment on this situation. I won't decide penalties such as "String him up". Unless, we prefer to go far back in our civilization, which I do not. Although, I have sincere doubts about our justice system, I still believe it must be given a fair chance, and so too must Michael Jackson.

I think that is a possibility. Broadband prices are dropping drastically. Aol now charges 24-29US for dialup. And here, the telephone company is charging 29US for dsl. It's really close to happening already. Dial Up will just become obsolete and internet services like Aol will probably be forced to offer broadband as a normal subscription service.

Assuming that Iconpackager is working properly and without conflicts on your system, this will resolve the problem that you are having. Go to tools in IP, and choose rebuild icon cache. It sounds like you have a damaged cache and windows defaults to the original icons on restart. A common problem.

Hotbar is a known spyware module. I use to think it was great. That was until I found a file with 500 MB on my computer that was being used by hotbar to track my activity. I think its called hotbar.log I deleted the file and it grew again. Finally, I deleted hotbar and I never looked back.

Windows handles memory in a strange way. The more memory you have, the more memory it absorbs. But, Windows XP seems to handle it better than W98. Scooby, I suggest you get rid of Adaware and get "Spybot Search and Destroy. It's a better Spyware Eliminator by far and free. Those spyware programs can really mess up a system. It seems that you found a few. I'm glad its working for you now. What happens is that spyware programs steal most of your memory, tracking everything you do, and tra

If the exe is there, then the program is still installed. You can just create shortcuts to it in the start menu, desktop, quick launch, etc.. Stardock Central may have deleted the old programs. You can just reinstall them with Stardock Central. But, make sure the old programs and versions are deleted, or you may have conflicts between the old and the new.Or, get rid of SC and just use CM.

Scooby, believe it or not, the problem is with your computer. Object dock works great on my system. It is memory intensive, but hopefully that will improve later. Maybe you have too many programs preloaded, spyware, low memory resources(Object dock is a big memory user) etc. Your problem definitely sounds like a memory issue. You didn't say how much Ram you have. Nor, background programs running, you didn't say whether you ran a full system virus scan. You didn't say whether you have checked you

Hmm, very confusing. You say that object dock won't even load. But, then you say if you click an object and go to configure dock, it closes with an error massage. So, obviously, it is loading or you couldn't right click an object or go to configure dock. Very confusing. Still, maybe you should try uninstalling the program and clearing out the directory. Maybe you have conflicts between the two versions, or maybe the two versions were installed in different locations.

Another disgruntled artist? Hmm, it seems to happen a lot here. I wonder why he removed his work? That dragonfly cursor was awesome. I hope that I still have it in my library.
