[quote]No no no......long live 77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777!!! my two cents.[/quote] I'm with Uvah! Windows 7 is absolutely beautiful and rock solid. Those of you who are still in love with XP should try Windows 7. I used to love XP too and we still have it at work but it's old and outdated now. As for Windows 8 I was going to install it on my other computer this weekend but have decided to hold off for a bit and see what happens.

[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="9" id="3103383"]What are you using Works for? With Open Office and Google Docs available, I would personally just lose Works. You may want to check the launcher.exe properties and then each of the asscociated programs and make sure none of them have been reset to 'read only'. I had this happen on my STep-sons pc and that was the issue. However, I think he had an older version of Works than you do,[/quote] <p

Thanks, Uvah! I've been watching some of those posts. It looks like Stardock will be on top of things but I suspect there will be others as well. I do love to be up-to-date but I may drag my feet awhile on Windows 8. Dell Stage was enough for me so I disabled it. Dell Stage looks a lot like the previews of Windows 8. [e digicons];)[/e]

Ars Technica has written a great article on Window 8. Despite their positive review, I think I will drag my feet on making the change. I have a Windows 7 phone but that does not mean I want the same type of interface on my desktop PC. So far, Windows 8 seems to work well for casual users - searching the Internet and reading mail but not particularly suited for productivity. What works on a tablet does not always work on a desktop PC. I did note that there are "se

Hi Everyone, My understanding is that the Metro interface in Windows 8 is optional. Sure hope so! I like the tiles on my Windows 7 phone (Samsung Focus) but not on my PC desktop and I have no intention of cleaning fingerprints off my screen every day. I recently purchased a Dell XPS 8300 (64 bit) which comes with the Dell Stage. It has a distinctly Metro look to it and was immediatedly disabled. Everything on my computers is controlled v

How about Chrome? Chrome is a nice browser and supports Flash. I used it for gaming as both IE 8 and Firefox had problems with that particular game. OR break down and get Windows 7. You will love it - promise! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote]I watched the whole video and guess I'm just old with my thoughts. I think it would be wonderful for phones and touch pads. Unless I missed it because all the lady did was focus on the icons I didn't see a taskbar, startmenu, etc. I have a fairly large monitor and for the heck of it touched the screen. I'm a regular size person but it put me way to close to the monitor with my eyes. However that wouldn't really matter as I'm not going around cleaning my screen all the time. O

IE9 is not compatible with WB and it is squirrely. I will wait for Beta 2 on this one (or later) and I suspect we will see an update for WB to handle the changes which are significant. I do think it will be a great browser once all the wrinkes have been "pressed" but I am not willing to give up WB and my other software to beta test IE 9. JMHO of course.

Hi Rednbing, In Window Blinds, click on Colours at the bottom of the page and then on change system colors. You can change any that you like including menu text. OR you could go to the Control Panel, click on Personalization, Window Color and then on Advanced Appearance Settings to see if it is a system color that is causing the problem. Just scroll down and select Menu and you can see the background and the text color. Hope this helps a bit. </

Hi again. I am using Drop Plus with Windows 7 32 bit. I cannot get it to duplicate the problem Selvan777 was having. It's a fun cursor and working fine here. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I would love to see a fabulous Halloween wall that would knock our socks off. It would be fine if it was a premium one. I have no talent but I'm willing to pay. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Hi Selvan777, This sounds like a font color issue rather than a Cursor FX problem. I had something similar happen to me once. It turned out that the selected/highlighted text color was the same as the background color. Thus, when I highlighted text, it "disappeared." If you are using WindowBlinds, it is very easy to change font colors. Just select "Fonts" at the bottom of the page and then select Change Individual Skin Fonts. If your text and backgr

Hey Studs and Studettes, Bradley 1404 is just what he says he is - at least according to his profile. He is fourteen years old and joined yesterday. I don't think he meant any harm. He just didn't understand. Hang in there Bradley. If you stick around and treat people the way you would like to be treated you will get some karma one of these days. It's not something you should ask for. Just something you get when someone appreciates a p

Sounds like it might be a good idea to get rid of it! Try Revo Uninstaller and use the most comprehensive mode (the bottom one). Might be a good idea to create a system restore point first.
