Check the 'Test Program' link and it seems that yes, it flies, but not very well! It's a vertical takeoff/landing from what I know of it. They are hoping that these will replace automobiles one day (!). All I know is I'd hope it's got a HUGE parachute for those times when you just don't make it to the fuel station. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&NewsID=913

There are countless other reasons related to WinXP itself that could be the cause of the problems you see. What is your login privilege - limited or admin? What are the permission settings for the drive/folders where the Stardock stuff lives - i.e are the 'owner' settings set for someone other than you?

Sorry if it came across too strong, but I'm tired of the attitude where "if it's something foreign/scary then kill it no question"... Can't you call in some wildlife service to relocate them? It was their place first... Re danger to kids: Your own you'd have to look after yourself (warnings, teching them the right behaviour if they see a snake, first aid for bites etc), other people's kids - well, that's really up to their own parents. I find it more remarkable that it

Do not apologize! Democracy and freedom thrives on political incorrectness. The day everyone has to be "correct" in thought and action, is the day democracy and freedom dies. Could not agree more.. PC smacks of Orwell's Thought Police IMHO. <img src="http

Well, I just tried it with Win2k Sp4 and OD v1.00.007 and it's just a matter of drag 'n' . Both dock objects open correctly without a problem, even after stopping & restarting OD (didn't reboot the PC tho'). HTH

When all else fails, Reformat the HD and Reinstall XP (I do it every 6 months...) Have you got some way of preserving your nstalled 3rd party apps (i.e Office, Stardock stuff etc) ? This is the single, biggest pain that deters me from regular re-installs (I don't know how you put up with it actually). For example, I recently go
