Reply to anybody from north carolina in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Snarph, I guess it depends on where you want to relocate to in North Carolina. Up by Raleigh/Durham or over in Charlotte it is beautiful. Now if you want to come down to the little area that I live in that is a different story. I've been stationed on and off, in Eastern North Carolina for about 19 years, and there is not a lot there except forests and swamps and 100 Billion mosquitos. It realy depends on where you want to go, and I guess that is about the same anywhere. If you let

Reply to Stop playing that SONG!!!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I was in Thailand and the Phillipines last month and I think that I heard "The Ketchup Song" by Las Ketchup 3 million times. I was in the mall in Kurat Tailand one day and I swear I heard it allmost continiously coming out of different stores for 2 hours. I thought I had escaped when I got to Manila..... wrong..... It followed me!!!! I'm wearing earplugs here in Japan to keep it from following me......

Reply to US is going to war tomarrow... dang... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have stayed out of this up until now, because I am biased because of my Job. As some of the folks here already know I'm a U.S. Marine and because of that, my view is a little off of the norm. Now that being said, I'm sitting on my butt in southern Japan, wishing that I was with old friends in Saudi Arabia. Why you might ask, because I'm and Evil War monger... Nope, Because I think War is great..... Nope, Because of the People..... Yep. I'm not only referring to my fellow service men, but the p

Reply to I've screwed up my xp ... can someone help? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but in this case it might be worth a try. Download and install Logonstudio https://www.stardock.com/products/logonstudio/download.html then selectct restore XP defaults. The button is on the bottom left of center. It might work for you and save you a re-install of XP. Like I said it may or may not work. Chris <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" borde

Reply to Poll result: What religion are you? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The only small thing that I saw wrong with the results is that the Agnostics and the Atheists were lumped together into one package. They are by definition complete opposites. In the end no matter what religion that you choose to believe it in the end at this time of year it is all about Family and Friends.

Reply to A formal complaint against WinCustomize. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Paxx, I was fairly sure that the idea had been brought up before, since we have rehashed this so many times in the past. If I remember correctly it was one of the very first heated debates that was had on this message board. It almost seems to be on a set schedule to rear it's ugly head about once every six months. I rate skins that I like and I will admit that I have never been one to rate a skin very low in 99 percent of the cases because I can see the effort that goes into the wo

Reply to A formal complaint against WinCustomize. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Since this seems to be the thread topic of choice today, I might as well through in my two cents. I think that the biggest problem with the rating system is that you have no idea who put the rating there, be it good or bad. If the data base can remember every skin that I have ever rated. How much of a leap would it be to code s show ratings link that would show who rated the skin and what each person rated that skin. It might, and only might cut down on the just plain mean ratings. I have no ide

Reply to is window blinds made for xp only? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Nope... NT, ME, 98, 2000, XP Home, XP Pro and last but not least even though it's not supported 95. I think that the only version that you don't have a chance of getting Windowblinds to run on is 3.11 Hope that this has helped!!! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by S

Reply to V3.4 program not applying skins to Start menu and window borders. What's up? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ok, it sounds like you have "Classic" start menu selected, nothing can skin it. If you want Windowblinds to skin your start menu you have to switch it to the new version. Right click on your taskbar and select properties. The second tab on the window that pops up should say "Start Menu" and check the "Start Menu" box that should be right above the "Classic Start Menu" box. Hit OK and that should do the trick.

Reply to What's special bout Bryce? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've stayed out of this thread, frankly because I'm tired of this whole thing on Bryce. I have been using Bryce since Ver 2, and have a rather large stack of manuals to prove it. I have Susan Kitchens http://www.auntialias.com book "Real World Bryce 2" which is the Bible for Bryce and I have thumbed through her second book and it is just as good, but covers the animation features in Bryce. You can make Magic with Bryce and it does have a very easy learning curve early on but it shoots straight t
