i m sorry its ad aware 6 not 4!
Xman2222
I had this problem a year ago when i was using windows ME but it wasn't only downloads through Stardock Central but all downloads but i found that the problem was because i had a lotf spyware and that my firewall was ignoring them so i recommend that you check your computer for spyware using adaware 4 example
you can also do animations in windows movie maker you can save your animation in GIF
make an animated version and a non animated version and everyone will be happy
you can change the icon in xp by right click properties and then choose an icon but using a program is alot faster
in all programs you will lose qualitty when saving in GIF but if you use photoshop or paintshop you will lose less color than in paint.
