A bit of information for you to aid in your troubleshooting (if needed).

ISSUE: Chrome Browser using either FVD Speed Dial, or Speed Dial 2 (perhaps more) your thumbnails become skewed and distorted upon refreshing them.

SOLUTION:

After having spent the last 2 days sobbing uncontrollably over my keyboard trying to find a solution for this problem I happened upon a thread somewhere that solved it.

Don't waste your time uninstalling apps, checking video drivers, etc. The problem is...

Just saw this at gHacks.net.

Dr.Web CureIt is an excellent program. A true “go to”.

The new features in the scanner are:

Implemented a rootkit search subsystem. Added options to scan the BIOS of the PC for so called bioskits that have infected the BIOS of the computer. Added a native quarantine manager. Added an option to block all network traffic during scans. Added an option to shut down the system after the scan. Added an option to block low-l...

I find that when I add an item to Workshelf, instead of it accepting and using the provided icon, it uses a default blank icon. There is a way around it by using Workshelf's "change icon" function" but it's a nuisance and doesn't work in all cases. I know this is due to the mix of Workshelf and Icon Packager because it doesn't occur when IP is uninstalled.

 

Does anyone else use these 2 packages, and do you have the same problem ?

As you may have guessed by now....I'm kinda into Microsoft's FSX [the flight sim] .... because the scope for 'skinning' is pretty much limitless.   All those planes ...all those liveries....

But, along with high-end graphic cards, etc. you need input [as Number 5 would say] ....via something half-decent as a throttle and stick.

I've been using the Saitek X52 Pro for a couple of years...

I have three user accounts on my desktop PC running Windows 8, one for each member of my family. My account is the only one that runs with Administrator permissions. When I login to my account everything works as advertised (as far as I can tell). When either of the other accounts are used. Windows 8 Explorer hangs. What happens visiually various depending on action taken. If you hover mouse over 'Show hidden icons' icon on taskbar, the Windows 8 clock is shown. If you do nothing, you co...

Hi there,

I've done customizing ObjectDock the way I want, but I've ran into an issue I can't seem to fix.

I'm using the animated quick launch dock. I've set the display to be on the left of the screen (vertical). I added a bunch of programs, and I want to separate them, so I'm using spacers. But the issue I have, is that they are too big. I want them to take up less space. Is it possible?

THanks

As Windows 8 gains traction with users upgrading their current OS and people purchasing new PCs, the desire to find solutions to common issues has also risen. While Windows 8 is a fine OS overall, there’s still lots that can be done in terms of usability and functionality.

That’s where these 3 desktop tools step in.

Let’s take a look at some shortcomings of Windows 8, and how we’ll correct them.

The aero option is still available in this just-released build. But the 'intel' is it won't be in any further beta (if there is one) and not in the

RTM and retail versions. That means, as far as I'm concerned, WinBlinds is back in the loop (I lived without it on WN7.) I like aero - turn it

off and you'll see what I mean. Bland. There will be many, especially those using Metro on phones and pads, who won't want it.  I can see

the reason for that. A flat look ...

I have upgraded to the Windows 8 version of Deskscapes. Unfortunately it only works with the included 'woman in the red blowing skirt' video.  If I try to use any other video, even those saying Windows 8 ready, it simply opens another video over the skirt video, but only covers about two-thirds of the screen.  In the upper left corner. Both videos are active.  Thanks for any help!

Hey,

Just wanted to drop a post here to say that I am working with the Comodo mods/devs to hopefully get it fully working along side Windowblinds.

Link to comodo topic: http://forums.comodo.com/bug-reports-cis/comodo-windowsblinds-causes-crashes-t93566.0.html

Just a heads up to the stardock staff: The comodo devs may require a serial for testing purposes (not sure if they have one).

Quite simple:  I start off with 2 words.  The next person keeps one of the words and replaces the dropped word with another.

Examples:  Run fast

                 Fast cars

                 Cars rock

My word to start:  Christmas holiday

Here is how it works.  I am going to give 5 letters.  It can be a word or just random letters.  You have to make a sentence from the letters I gave you and then you give 5 letters to the next person.

Example:    mbdgw

Well, I am on top of the world today.Why? You all made it so. A feature skin for the first time and you all like Mattinee.I know it is not the best skin,but certainly is mine.I wanted so bad to be well received, and somehow I was.

So thank you {ID}and all those who support me,you have no idea how good it feels, or maybe some of you do.I also am thrilled about the star rating,I have struggled to change my work to deliver better skins,and maybe I finally am headed the right direction.Thanks all...
