reformatted, restored documents folder, moved documents folder, installed object dock If you did not restore the 'ObjectDock' library folder during this procedure, it should have worked. If you did restore the 'ObjectDock' library folder (including your saved theme file), then the theme '.ini' file may have had the images listed as coming from the original location of the 'My Documents\ObjectDock library' folder. If the '.ini' file does not have

propehetizer, Have you tried unloading ObjectDock and then deleting the 'cached' folder for ObjectDock? This is simply the configuration files for your current theme, which if deleted will force ObjectDock to start with the defaults when next loaded. You might then be able to backup the ObjectDock library > delete the current ObjectDock library > move the 'My Documents' folder > start ObjectDock and then see if ObjectDock recreates the library folder in My Documents. If so, y

how do you guys do the image resize here and get the image resize bar on the top - what are you using for that ?? I use 'ImageShack' for my image server (it is a free site for hosting images), then simply use the 'Insert Image' button above the comment text box to paste the "direct-link" image address which is supplied by ImageShack once the image is uploaded to the account. I believe the new coding here at WC is responsible for the resiz

Vista SP1 sounds more interesting to me. Perhaps the third party developers will have a chance to catch up. As it is, I have two OEM versions of Vista Home Premium sitting in a box because the performance of all my hardware and software running on XP Pro blows it away. While I will inevitably install Windows Vista on the desktop next year, I find that exploring the iMac running Leopard is currently much more attractive if I have to spend a large amount of money on upgrading a

SacredCultivator, You can also check the files manually by doing the following: 1 - Tell Windows to show the file extensions (My Computer > Tools menu > Folder Options > View tab > deselect 'Hide extensions for known file types' > Apply). 2 - Change the downloaded '.ip' file to '.zip' and then extract to the same location using the context menu (right-click file > Extract all > click 'Next' twice and then 'Finish). 3 - You should now b

It sounds like you might have ordered Adobe CS2.3 package, if so - then you will have all the applications you need for just about any graphics work. In any case, I would suggest looking for the following books (used would be best). Photoshop CS2 Classroom in a Book (Adobe press) - they also published versions for Adobe CS programs. Photoshop CS2 Studio Techniques (Ben Willmore) - this author really makes learning Photoshop fun and his

Looks pretty good, Texas. I would opt for the $1549 upgrade to the original 15.4 inch monitor version for the following reasons: 1 - The faster processor will make a difference in the long run. Note - I installed a 2.0 Ghz processor in my Dell notebook which came with a 1.6 Ghz processor to make it reasonable to install Vista and actually run decent. The difference between the processors was quite noticeable running XP, which it does very well - and this is a single

I have seen a few people asking about removing the shortcut arrow from the Vista interface and thought this might be of interest to some. I have tested this method on Vista Home Premium, and it should work fine on all versions. This method involves downloading a blank '.ico' file in a compressed '.zip' file > extracting the file and placing it in your '\Windows' folder (usually - C:\Windows) > creating a new registry key and string value. That being said, I must include

I wrote a number of mini tutorials a while ago which included 'Restoring XP defaults' and a series on ObjectDock Plus for creating docks and for editing dock entries.

Office 2007 is just as a big improvement as Vista is I agree with this whole-heartedly! IMHO - Office 2007 is a real gold mine of improvement in work flow and general attractiveness. I really enjoy the new 'ribbon' design. I have also noticed that the loading of Office 2007 running on Vista is quite efficient. Now if I can just budget enough for a purchase of the new Adobe CS3 (release officially set for March 27, 2007) - I could

lousy Wacom drivers I spoke with Wacom a few weeks ago and they indicated that once the graphic drivers are fully developed the released drivers for the Intous3 tablets will work great. This is also one of the main reasons I went back to XP. Painter X and PS CS2 both have hesitations when I start to draw running under Vista, while the same programs and drivers work without hesitation or issue under XP. BTW - the DIY desktop I mention

Purchased and ran OEM's of Vista Home Premium on both personal machines (1 DIY desktop, and 1 Dell notebook). Although I really enjoy the icons, address bar navigation, ease of networking, and the idea behind the new Windows Driver Display Model - I nevertheless have reverted back to XP Pro on both machines for the following reasons: 1 - Adobe CS2 runs much better on XP Pro at this time. 2 - The ATI drivers are still in their infancy and are basically just 'vanilla' drivers.</

Due to the upcoming (this Sunday - March 11, 2007) daylight savings time observance changes, I thought it prudent to post a link to the Microsoft page that has information and an interactive download wizard to help users update their Windows operating systems and calendaring applications. No sense in being late to a meeting if it could have been avoided. There is not much else to add. </P

I have had issues at BestBuy with the price at the register being higher than either the price listed on the shelf, or in the case of 'Live OneCare 1.5' last month, the price on the public website. In all cases, I inquired into why the price was different, and the clerk immediately checked the shelf or website and gave me the lower price. The only problem is that I would have been charged the higher price had I not inquired about the difference. Moral of the story? Always ask
