No problems at all with weather updates in Stockton CA on XP and Vista. I very seldomly use it and added one just for giggles because of this forum post and it is working fine. There are several questions you can ask yourself at this point, such as when was the last time it actually ran? What's changed in your system since? Could it be an issue from your provider or your firewall? Do I restore the system to the point before the weather stopped working? Do I archive all of my docks

The easiest thing to do is go through your folders, right click the folder, go to Send To, then select Desktop (Creat Shortcut) Rick. Is that what you're looking to do? Cp :CONGRAT:

Actually it's quite simple Bressler: Right click your current dock, GOTO This Dock, ADD, New Custom Flyout Menu, from there you can right click your new flyout on your dock and assign one of the preset folders such as My Computer, Desktop, Favorites, etc. Or you can make your own custom menu simply by selecting a folder of your choice. At this point you can also change the flyout's icon image to what ever you want as well. (Example of custom tile zoomer, open tab and flyout in picture

When both my puter's aren't in use they're turned [U]off[/U] Philly! Now, I've heard the theory of leaving your system on, that it doesn't consume as much energy as it would being turned on and off. And that leaving it on saves hardware & electrical wear and tear as opposed to the trauma of a dreaded cold boot cycle. Bottom line to me, all of those theories don't pay my sky ass high PG&E bill. So I guess leaving your system on is cool if you can afford to leave it on. Cp<br/

[quote]Oh yes they do. Litestep has 'suffered' from resolution dependency since day one.[/quote] [quote]most novice users don't want to be bothered or don't have the know-how.[/quote] Then Litestep is another case in point Jafo and the same could be said about ObjectBar2. Most newbs will shy away from these extensive themes because they turn it on and it scares the hell out of them. They're pretty much over their heads from the gate, even though we all know they're just one

[quote]Never had a problem with CursorXP on XP and now using CursorFX and still going fine.[/quote] Same here Tycus, I never had a single issue on XP. I'd check for corruption within the application, backup your skins, and do an uninstall / reinstall. Good luck my friend! :CONGRAT:

This opinion is based on my personal feeling and not any statistical facts; I feel that it has something to do with the varying screen resolutions with many of the older themes being exclusively set. Loads of people are migrating to widescreen formats, which to me translates to very few utilizing DX themes because most of the older themes were made in lower resolutions. And the users who are still within the standard format has to ponder and negotiate certain themes because

[quote]CP that's a very nice shot but you should not take down shots because of stars. Who gives a rats ass what "they" rate the shot? That's one thing I never worry or complain about because of the way they do things here. One day you're in the next day you're out. Some people seem to be favorites. Who cares? I like your shot. It's very well planned and executed. Would it help if you kissed some ass? Would you get a better rating? I don't see you doing that. I don't do that. What it is, is what

[quote]the start will be skinned in a silver sort of default skin[/quote] Check your Taskbar and Start menu properties selection real closely to see if you're running "Start Menu" or the "Classic Start" menu, because it sounds like you're in Classic. Depending on how good or badly it's skinned, it can be difficult to see which is selected. My friend had a similar issue and that's all it was. I truly hope this helps a bit, good luck! Cp :CONGRAT:

[quote]Cp, what do you use for said voice dictation[/quote] Microsoft Office 2007 MommaTee. It's built in. And Vista is built in voice command, I'm surprised more people aren't using these features.
