I am losing here guys and need your thoughts.

 

I know since my arrival here my behavior has been spuratic, deleting skins when I am mad or hurt, saying rude things, then happy , then sad, then wanting to quit. Every direction I guess is my point, unstable.

 

I have reasons, though misunderstood at times I believe.

Skinning take every ounce of my being, I pour my heart into my work and spend so much time trying to make what I hope others will love, not just like, and hav...

They happen to you because the website you visited was infected. This can happen to even the best of websites, but usually doesn’t if it’s well maintained.

You didn’t attempt to download anything…it happened through vulnerabilities. These are “Drive-by” downloads.

Once the malicious code is injected into the website, it will exploit vulnerabilities in your browser, Adobe reader, Adobe Flash or Java.

So, how do you prevent this from happening to you (remembering nothin...

Good afternoon, recently bought Fances. I live in Brazil and my Windows 8.1 is in Portuguese. The program installed in English, how do I change the language from English to Portuguese Fances of Brazil?

Apparently, millions of Yahoo users’ webcam images were intercepted by the British NSA equivalent GCHQ.

The period involved is 2008-2010 and in “Operation Optic Nerve” in which the NSA worked with GCHQ and in one 6 month period some 1.8 million users’ images were gathered. A large quantity of these were sexually explicit images, apparently.

"Unfortunately … it would appear that a surprising number of people use webcam conversations to show intimate parts of their b...

OS: Windows 8.1

Problem: When you run Windows FX as administrator, the settings appear to save but when running an application as administrator, the animation isn't what is saved.

 

Note: Otherwise, it works well and as old as my laptop is and running Windows 8.1, WindowFX works quite well.

It's Saturday morning and you've had a nice, filling breakfast and all you want to do is put the stereo on and listen to your fave band while putting your feet up in the recliner. It's the weekend and you deserve to relax a bit... until the missus bluntly informs you groceries are needed and: "I'm off to do some shopping."

To prove chivalry isn't completely dead, you offer: "D'yer wanna hand, dear?"... hoping like all fech she'll say no: "I'll be alright, dear....

Hello,

I've submitted a ticket on this issue (XKW-417-77351), but have seen that some others have successfully resolved the same issue through the forum.  I've reinstalled Sins on a new computer, but cannot launch the game because I have reached maximum activations.  Can I get that reset?

Thanks

So I've had this problem for months now, been back and forth with Stardock technical support and nothing they suggest seems to fix it. I've used Windowblinds for years and apart from one issue with UAC a few years ago I've never had any big problems with it. But at the end of my tether I've disabled it this morning as I simply cannot fix this issue.

Basically what happens is my taskbar keeps locking up. By locking up I mean I click the icons and nothing happens, I can't pe...

Did you know the CursorFX gallery is one of the top visited galleries on WinCustomize?  It is, even though it doesn’t get the attention it deserves sometimes.  CursorFX is a great way to get into skinning your desktop if you are a bit hesitant on changing everything up at the beginning.  There are thousands of cursor themes available in just about every style you can imagine.

Here’s a look at some of the most popular CursorFX themes on WinCustomize.

Guys, I hope this isn't considered spam.  

 

I got a great half price deal on this and I love it, so I wanted to tell you guys, in case someone else wanted the discount.

 

It's a nice Bluetooth keyboard/stand for any tablet. I use it with my iPad and my Android. It's at less than half price from the MFG. and sells at Staples for double what I paid!

 

Listed at $129.99, I paid $39.99.  Staples dot com has it at $79.99.

A new month is here again, and you know what that means!  It’s time for a new monthly desktop screenshot thread where our members take shots of their desktops and show the rest of the community the types of skins they are using.

Come take a look at the desktops posted so far, and take a screenshot of your own and post it to this thread.

I've used Smart Defrag since version 1 and been extremely pleased with it.  And IObit seemed like a solid outfit, on a par in my mind with Piriform.  The app has been trouble-free and efficient, doing exactly as advertised.  One of the better free apps out there in my experience.  The installer would offer to install the IObit Toolbar, but it was easy to decline - no muss, no fuss.

Things have change drastically with Smart Defrag 3.  After multiple installs, ...
