Don't be fooled by the techy appearance and its name, WinCustomize. Beneath all those superb skins and beautiful wallpapers lies a very different community than many others in the web. Maybe I have not delved deep enough into the forums, but so far I have not seen any childish arguments and/or name-calling for that matter. I can say it's a good breather for me, because being a gamer, I constantly visit gaming forums which, unfortunately, are dominated

Thanks everyone Very helpful info and advice. Corky, I have done according to your directions and I did see both HDDs there when I press Delete at startup, with the 80gig one as the primary and the latter the "slave" as I recall. A friend of mine is kind enough to let me try out his 100gig external HDD. To think that I am dubbed the "computer freak" amongst

One has had a broken fan for sometime now and is about to burn up at any sentence. Talking about good fans- do higher-end fans generate less noise? As it is, the computer sound like someone snoring (a bit of exaggeration here). Also, I've read (and seen) those liquid-cooling systems, which replaces

Hey there, I need some tips and clarification on these matters. Thanks in advance for your help. 1) Is it okay to leave my computer on for like, a couple of weeks? Will it shorten the lifespan of my hardware, especially the HDD, because it is constantly spinning? I live in Malaysia - the weather here is basically hot, about 30+ degrees outside.

I KNOW! I WILL EXPERIMENT ON IT ON MY LAPTOP! Why didn't I think of that sooner? Most of my important stuff is in the PC. Oh yes. Have a nice day!

Thanks a lot. I will try out this Partition Magic but chances are I will have to call the technician over (and lose some money ). Hope Partition Magic is user friendly. Fuzzy Logic knocked some sense back into me tho. I am quite excited over this Vista thing. Thanks for the help guys.

I am a little confused. Is there a "dual boot" option I can choose when I install? My hard drive is already partitioned (did it while installing XP). By the way, how do I choose to only reformat a partition? Each time I reformat, everything in the hard drive goes off. I don't really dare to meddle with this unless I am really sure of it. Oh, the pain of losing your data!

Hi guys. I currently have XP and am planning to get Vista. Thing is, if I install Vista and there are problems or I don't like it, will I be able to revert to XP without reformatting and losing all my data? I'm planning to have two OS's. Is there any way I can uninstall Vista? Second thing is, if there are no problems with it (ie with my programs and such) will I be able to remove XP and let Vista be the only OS in my system? I'm sorry if

It's done! Thank you so much guys! All I had to do was click "on desktop" and now it still shows when I click Show desktop. Thank you so much After my exams, I would love to learn how to make nice skins too.

Hi guys, I've just downloaded the Rainlendar. I installed it and everything is cool except for one thing.. It minimizes when I click "Show desktop". Is there any workaround to this? I would like it to stay visible on the desktop. I would have to maximize and minimize a window to get it to appear again. Thanks in advance.
