Hi..

 

would someone be kind enough to reset my activation count please??

 

This latest version is a bit of a nightmare in terms of activating and keeping it activated.  It does look good but i'd gladly sacrifice the new look for a more stable activation process.

 

I know most new software has teething troubles but from what i've read on various forums, the activation issues (activation box keeps popping up after activating and the 'windows cannot find activ...

I can't drag and drop desktop icons, I have the latest version of Fences installed. When I click and drag them the round circle with a line through it appears. Thanks!

Sorry for the bit of self-promotion but I recently set up a new blog site that takes all my posts written as Frogboy (my day job account) and Draginol (my personal account) and puts them together.

The site is www.littletinyfrogs.com.

On my computer most of the dreams that show water the effects seem to be too be accelerated.  On all of the waterfall dreams I have downloaded the water is falling way too fast and it spoils the effect.  The same applies to the light relection on the water on 'forest river'.  Is there anyway I can slow these down because the dreams are awesome but the sped up graphics completely spoils the ambience the dream is trying to create.

MS has done it again. They must have a Division of Dumbassed Moves.

Their latest winner? You buy a license to MS Office 2013. Now it’s tied to that computer and that’s it. Anything happens to that computer, or you decide to upgrade to another system, you’d better keep the old one because the license cannot be transferred to the new one.

“Under our license we grant you the right  to install and run that one copy on one computer (the licensed computer) ...

Alot of techy blinds, almost all of them are black/ish so I wanted to make a Tech-blind with a new approach with Art & detail, but still with a clear view to all functions.

Whether you upgraded to Windows 8 from a previous version of Windows, or just bought a new PC, you may have noticed that the start menu in Windows 8 is missing. You didn’t do anything wrong, this is just how Windows 8 was designed. For those users who miss it, I want to show you a way to get the start menu for Windows 8 back.

Start8 from Stardock brings the start menu/button back to your Windows 8 desktop.

Along with the start menu/button, Start8 allows for further customization in b...

Sorry but this has to be said. Facebook posted an enormous profit for 2012 to the tune of 1 Billion dollars. Paid no income taxes and got a refund of 429 million dollars. No wonder this country is so f****d up. It really pissed me off!

Ok, so I decided to create a new Chatroom, because the old one was getting pretty....old! 

Everyone may post here, as well as in the good'ol Flameroom...I mean, Chatroom

I would like to keep this Chatroom civilized. Well, as civilized as most forum threads are (doesnt mean that you all have to be polite like Oatesy, lol).

So for this reason, I may update the OP of this thread in the future, posting certain thread rules, as I see fit.

I am trying to install DesktopX Pro 3.5 from the web page. The download is without error, but when I try to install it, the serial number that is on the web page is not accepted. I click on the serial number and I get a "copied to clipboard...". When I paste it in the serial number field, the text is identical to that on the web page. However, the instlaller refuses to accept it.

I have emailed Starock Support twice now about 2 weeks apart, but so far I have received no response.

Well...I guess it takes/took 10 days or so of over 30c weather... but after x years of almost permanent running my V8 Coolermaster fan decided to bugger off and go troppo.

It's not like it was ever an issue.....until a shutdown/reboot ...cos I never shutdown.....

But then silly old me did.

So the fan said time for a holiday and shut up shop.

I got it kick-started one time with some compressed air and a poking or three....

To fix vulnerabilities in its Flash player in both Windows and Apple systems, Adobe has published a patch for:

“The first vulnerability, CVE-2013-0633, tricks users into downloading a Microsoft Word document sent via e-mail. As you might expect, the document contains malicious SWF (flash’s file extension) content that can then infect a user’s system. This exploit targets the ActiveX version of Flash Player for Windows, Adobe said.

Hi there,

I want to say first i love the suite. I am really enjoying the customization of my system. Since i still run XP it's a pleasure for the eye.

I have a question. When i open my computer i see that the address bar is a little bit too small. Since the word address isn't completely shown.

the bar section probably should be 2 or 3 pixels larger. How can i adjust this little error. Do more users with xp experience what i just wrote.

 

I hope to get a prop...

I sometimes wonder how many misunderstandings occur online due to people who don’t speak English as their native language interpreting dry humor as literal statements. 

I recently saw on a forum a discussion that quoted banter back and forth between myself and our PR rep. It goes something like this:

PR Rep: Got a 4.5 out of 5 on Game X!

Me: Oh no! That’ll wreck the Metacritic score – we want it to end up at 79. High enough for sales but low enough so we don’t have to g...
