I would ask that you take me off the blacklist. I do not mean to post 3 replys at a time but I can't cut and paste for some reason on Wincustomize where I am posting from. I like a good debate but will not argue about macs anymore. By the way in the thread I did not say anything about a 1000 dollar monitor. I meant a 1000 dollar machine with a included monitor.

I'm having a bit of an issue with WMP. It will not fire up when I ask it too. If I click on WMP in my start menu nothing happens. Any ideas?

On Shutdown of Vista I see for 5 seconds - SCHTASKS.EXE failed to initialize - then it disappears and machine shuts down. No other problems observedusing the machine. Appreciate any help in solving this Error message!!!

Recently got me a Compaq Evo 510 small form factor system. Even though it has a P4 running at 2.4 GHz and 512 MB of DDR memory and a 533 FSB this machine is slow and I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 as that is what it came with. My copy of XP came with my Dell so it stays with the Dell - will not work on other machines -OEM copy. So anyone know how to get this thing running better? I've already tweaked the BIOS settings. Everything is running on Ultra DMA mode. Thanks in advance...

Well the girlfriend decided to use some of her walls on my notebook and I had to remove them as I use different walls on my account. Anyhoo how do I remove these walls from the display properties box?

Check this out guys. What do you think?

I'm having a few problems with XP. Here is a list of the issues: * System restore had been disabled * AVG Anti Virus has been disabled * Device Manager will not work * No sound at all * Internet Explorer will not connect * Firefox will not connect So I guess I might have got a Virus somehow even though I'm careful. I guess the question is how do I repair or scan for a virus If I can not connect to the net? I'm using Linux right now but I have a floppy drive and a CDRW drive at my di...

Take a look at these 2 Screen shots: This is a shot of my linux desktop. I am using Firefox to view Wincustomize.com. NOTE the font used. This is a shot again of Wincustomize using XP and IE. NOTE the font looks normal? HOW do I get Firefox to display WC EXACTLY like IE does?

I have a small problem. Every so often while booting my machine I get a blue screen of death and then the system reboots. It happens so fast I can't read what the error is. I changed a few things in my BIOS and it would finally boot. Actually the only thing I changed was the memory timing resulting in OC my RAM. Guess I will have to fix that. So how do you find out if your mobo is dying? I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP2 (Yes I'm using SP2 finally) and I have 512 megs of DDR RAM.

But I was told once that once you get ODNT the apps are yours to keep. So how do I go about getting WB back on my system? SDC will not let me DL the enhanced versions!

Well of all people you wouldn't expect a Firefox post from me but I have to use Firefox while using Linux so I have some questions! Problem number 1 - In IE I can click anywhere in the adress bar and the whole bar gets highlighted so that when you go to type in the bar all the old text disappears allowing you to input a new internet address. I have noticed in Firefox that it dosen't work this way. Can I get an extension that will do that for my? I really don't like having to click and highl...

So I have tried Fedora Core 3 and didn't care for it much! What I am looking for is a easy to use for a noob linux distro that has a easy to use apt get function and is easy to learn. I'm looking into Gentoo and SimplyMepis - should I be looking into any other Distros?

Well I now have no Microsoft products running on the PC - I switched to Fedora Core 3 Linux. Overall I am very happy with it! I am even impressed with Firefox! Of course I still have XP on a different partition. Any advice from anyone about running Linus/Firefox?
