When I first saw the new star wars movie, I had slightly warm feelings towards it, and considered it an ok action movie. But the more time I spent thinking about the film the more negative my opinions on it became. I have now concluded that the movie is as bad as the star wars prequels (most of them at least, episode 1 is probably still worse).

The biggest problems I had with the Star wars prequels are all of the plotholes and the stup...

Somethimes an emply icon appears for a 'running program'. This is the path to said program: C:\Windows\system32\ApplicationFrameHost.exe

I never opened this program so it must be objectdock picking up a program running in the backgroud as a false foreground program opened by the user.

I'm using Win 7.

Specifically, when I run Diablo III - maximized and the cursor is at the top of the screen, I can activate menu items when clicking near the top of the screen while playing and seeing only the game.

I have the menu set to auto-hide at the top of the screen.  When the application activation occurs, I never catch a glimpse of the menu, but the programs launch and interrupt game-play.

 

PS - Is this the venue for bug-reports ?   The responses here see...

I'm using the latest version of Fences 2.13 and right now my resolution is 5760x1200 however I sometimes switch my output to my home theatre so I can game on a 1920x1080 resolution screen. When I switch to the TV and then back to my monitors fences do not retain their original shape and they are resized. 

Is there any way to have a custom fences shape/area for different resolutions? Is there any way to set this statically?

Although Google has reported it with respect to Chrome, it likely affects other browsers.

It’s from AVG and it installs automatically without permission whenever the user installed the main AVG AV software. Since Chrome has similar tools, it isn’t even necessary.

AVG set their browser extension to bypass the normal vetting process by the Chrome Store. This allowed AVG to change the user’s home page when opening the browser and new tabs.

Apparently, it also did not encr...

Orright, so who made New Years Resolutions for 2016, what were they.... and who's already broken theirs?

The regulars are to quit smoking and drinking.... maybe to go on a diet to lose weight, but those are old and not at all interesting, so let's hear about the more creative and unusual ones.... the exotic and/or erotic, even.



I made a list.....

1 - To NOT see a Star Wars Movie in 2016.  Hehe, Think I'm pretty safe with that one... will have some paint around here...

Well, it’s free, and it works, for MacOS and Windows. It will clean and speed up Firefox, Pale Moon, Chrome, Opera, Thunderbird and Skype as well, with an up to x3 increase in speed. No, it won’t speed up IE or Edge.

Why does it work? It works because with time you get larger and more fragmented databases.

My wife's PC was a clean Windows 8.1 PC that I upgraded to W10.  We never installed any SD software except for DeskScapes 8.2  because she enjoyed the animated wallpaper. Her CPU was at 20% usage.  I installed DeskScapes 8.5 this evening and running the same dream it's now using 47% of CPU.  

My PC did a similar jump but I run lots of SD and other software and was already at 47% or so.  Now I'm running 99-100% making the PC unusable unless I pause dreams. ...

So I picked up a IBM ThinkPad T60 for cheap. Old owner tried to put Windows 10 on it, but the poor machine ran very, very slow. It was made for XP. So I need to ask what operating system you guys would use. I have a legit COA on the computer for XP but no one uses that anymore. I don't have a copy of 7. I do have Fedora Linux and Mint Linux. So what OS would you install? It's not my main machine, I have a MacBook for that. It has a Intel Centrino CPU, 2 Ghz, 32 bit, 3 GB of memory, and a...
