It's withdrawal, like a drug, I was the same way. I formated,installed,formated,installed. You get the picture. IT'S A DRUG. I gave my Mother a computer, now all she does is sit in front of it trying things out. IT IS A DRUG. It took me, honestly, 3 years to get over doing that. If it worked fine,I screwed it up just to format and fix it. You are not fixing it. YOU ARE GETTING A FIX. Peace.Good luck. Hippie <img src="http://images3.stardock.com/wc/s

cursorxp in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I was just curious if anyone else noticed a slow down with either of these products. Cursor XP makes my computer run very slow, and it "loses" things. I don't quite know how to explain that, you'll just have to take my word for it. By the way I do love Cursor XP, but can't use it. As for rainlender, it slows my computer, and when I try to watch my TV, I have to stop it. I have found some very good replacements for Rainlender, so that's not a big proble

Reply to Freeware users vs. Freeware idealogues in Industry WinCustomize Forums

I understand where you're coming from, but I tend to stay with people or groups that I have used in the past. I use CCleaner. I think it works better than Norton System Works, Fix It, and System Mechanic. Like i say I use most from the same people. There are some that it is best to buy, those I do. Thanks

Reply to Why freeware nearly always loses in the long run in Industry WinCustomize Forums

Personally, if I can find a freeware program that does what I want to start with, I don't worry about upgrading. Case in point. I bought Music Match, but everytime they add a damn button, it's give me more money. I have ver. 8.1, and it does what I want. As a matter of fact, most programs I DL are freeware. I have some great freeware products that do just what I DLed them for. Why spend big bucks for a couple of other buttons that you possibly aren't g

Okay. First off, I do not use IE. I use Firefox. So, I just used IE and did the "Save Target As", I've used that myself, before I started using Firefox. It got to 47%, and came up with "connection lost". So I clicked, without leaving the page, DL. It picked up at 47%, and finished the DL So, I have the icons, but, I am still trying to figure this out. I'm not a novice. I know a little about computers and the net.

Unfortunatly I don't have high speed. But, like I said, 47% Stop. I've tried at least 6 times. Oh well, hopefully I can figure out the problem.

Reply to Media Players - What Do You Use and Why in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Well, I use MusicMatch to make my playlist, and most of the time I use it to listen to my music. For some reason, I haven't figured out, it sounds better. I have SBLive, and you would think all music players would sound the same. I also have DFX on all the players, but MusicMatch still sounds better. I like Winamp 5 next best, mostly for the visulazations. iTunes is real close to MusicMatch, sound wise, also

I guess I'll have to go again. I had a Doctor tell me that it was harder to get off Xanax than Heroin. I've known Heroin addicts, and if the sun was shining as bright as it could outside, and a Heroin addict told me the sun was shining, I would'nt believe him. Let me also refrase something about addiction. If you have whatever drug you're "addicted" to no problem. It's when people try to take it away. That's the problem. Like I said before, legalize it

Noone has ever killed anyone just smoking. It was the alcohol. Liqour or beer. I'll bet on that.

I promise, this is my last comment. When I started smoking pot, a nickle bag was $5. A quarter pound was $40. Also, it was cannibus sativa. What people smoke now is called cannibus inigo. Cannibus indigo will get you stoned, sleepy, and give you the munchies, but it does not get you high. I remember smoking Colombian Gold and laughing at everything. Panama Red was a great high. Redbud was killer. The thing about it is, there is no actual, real pot out

One other thing. If we spent as much money on highways, cities, schools, jobs, there would be no deficiet. There would be an overage.

There is no such thing as "Addiction". Let's say you eat vanilla ice cream all the time. You're not addicted, you just like it. Ok, now some fool decides you can have a good time with this, so he makes it illeagel. Pot was made illeagel because they couldn't find a way to catch Al Copone, so when alcohol was made illeagel, pot fell into the same catagory, and therefore became illeagel. Doctor's, Poloticians, and most people said they didn't see anythin

One thing I forgot to mention, you know how pot affects you're memory. NO ONE HAS EVER DIED SMOKING POT. The one's they say did were also drunk, or doing some other drug, probably crack. As a matter of fact, there is usually some other substance that causes a person to do something stupid. Richard Pryor told a joke years ago. "You walk in an apartment building and listen at the door,and you can tell whose smoking pot, and whose drinking. The potheads s

I have smoked pot for 30 some years. It makes me mad people putting pot down, but drinking is fine. I can smoke an ounce of pot, drive go to the mall anything. 1 six pack and a car = dead people. I think they should leagalize pot, and make drinking against the law. Everyone that says pot should be illeagal, drinks. Now from years ago, I heard they couldn't extract THC. I have been around drugs most of my life, I'm a musician. The absolute worse drug I
