Reply to Boot Screens in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

i believe the problem jmcjmk, is that in the boot up phase windows is not yet in charge of graphics. the operating system is not loaded, the video drivers are not loaded, the hardware acceleration that is needed is not loaded. the 16bit graphics which microsoft uses for its boot screens are no different then the graphics your bios displays when you first turn on your computer, or the 'HP', 'Dell', or 'gateway' splash screens when yuo boot up that hide the memory checks and hardware detections of

i vaguely remember having this problem.. i don't have a fix for you.. however you might try leaving it un locked after you resize it, and logging yourself off, then back on. that should save the setting. then re lock it.

i should have mentioned before: btw, reason why i''d ask for the software is because i couldn''t find a converter. luckily i happen to be at my parents and i just realized my dad has every old version for like, the last 5 years. but shoddy luck, he already bought his own 2004 so i can''t give em this one.

what version of quicken do you have? i bought 2004 in august.. and, well i hate it.. i came from ms money and i found the quicken interface so unaccessable.. something as simple as depositing your weekly paycheck turned into a nightmare because i couldn't adjust certain taxes. i bought money 2003 last week (9.99 on clearance!! wooo!!!) and i've just started loading my info back in. However, the money 2003 won't open a quicken 2004 file <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles

Reply to Please help me with an ordinary computer problem in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

JD your problem, i believe, is related to stickikeys. it is an accessibility option built into windows. if you hold down shift for so much time, or hit shift 6 times in a row, it activates stickikeys. basically, your shift key becomes locked down. holding shift and clicking on a two folders will highlight all folders in between. holdign shift while typign results in caps. go into your control panel and go to accessibility options, and disable stickikeys. let me know if that helps.
