You will need a modem only if you're still stuck on dial-up for internet access, or if you want to FAX directly out of the computer. Since the majority in the US these days have some sort of high-speed connection--typically DSL or cable--most new computers no longer come "standard" with modems.

Do you know if similar .ini files are available to fix the folder appearance in XP?
In XP and earlier, you will be able to call it from RightClick Desktop > Properties > Appearance, and under said "Appearance" tab, to see a list of your WB skins EITHER click the down-arrow to expand the dialog box below "Windows and Buttons" OR click the "WindowBlinds" tab that WindowBlinds added to the Appearance Window.
Simply log-in in the upper right corner of the Wincustomize home page. If the ads don't go away, unfortunately you might have some spyware.
Most of the rest of the English-speaking world would say we Americans got it wrong--the Canadians, Brits, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, in fact most of the old Empire, spell "colour" with a "U". Guess that's what we get for daring to rebell.
Normally the Administrator account is hidden from view. According to Microsoft documentation, it appears on the Welcome screen only in the following situations: --No other administrative user accounts exist --You start your computer in Safe Mode --The Adminstrator account is logged on and you're using Fast User Switching --In Windows XP Professional, if the Welcome screen is enabled, you can log-on to the "hidden" Administrator account by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete twice.
I have occasionally had this problem. RedBuzzard, what solution did you undertake to solve it? Thanks.
JAnder09, does VBA32 or DrWeb run under X64?
Thanks for the prompt reply. Do you have any info on which performs better, or is each product -- Avast and NOD 32 -- about the same?
Which antivirus programs are compatible with Win XP Professional X64 edition? Of those programs that are compatible, which is "best?" Thanks
Thanks, any word on DX or the Logons?
Thanks--any idea whether Desktop X or the Logons work?
Shortly I will be getting a Windows XP Professional x64 system. Which components of Object Desktop are presently compatible with x64? Which other add-ons--including Cursor XP and Object Dock--are compatible with x64? Thanks for your assistance.
I have the same problem. This has occurred with Word 2000, Word XP, and Word 2003, using both the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. I just put it down to a minor glitch and carried on. Basically what seems to be happening is when you insert an equation as an object from within MSWord, the Equation Editor add-in opens within Word. When the Equation Editor is active, the normal MSWord menu item headings at the top of the Word window change t
As always, there's the official version and what's going on in the real world. Yes, officially there will be no boxed retail versions of X64. But there will be OEM discs for sale "with hardware" (like a cheap mouse or something), so if you really want to upgrade a home version of XP it is apparently possible, if you are willing to pay the price. At least one site is already taking preorders for "Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 w/CD and License (E
When I was having the problem, yes I am a Wincustomize subscriber and yes I have the Wincustomize browser. In my case, when I was having the problem, I could update skins through the Wincustomize browser normally but not through Stardock Central. Previously I could update skins through either program. "Restoring" the previous version of SDC using the "restore" shortcut in the SDCentral folder cured the problem, at least for me.
This happened to me, too (won't update skin list, same dll error on program shutdown). I went to the "Stardock\SDCentral" folder in My Computer. In the list of files in that folder, there is a filename called "restore." It's listed as a shortcut. I double-clicked that file name, there was a short pause, then Stardock Central opened and everything is now working fine. In the properties dialog box for this file, the remarks say "restores previous version
Last sentence should read, "By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had a fatal accident.
In the past, with some skins I have had similar alignment problems if, from within Display Properties, the Settings, Advanced, General, Display, DPI setting was not set to "normal" and/or the Appearance, Font Size was not set to "normal." If these dialog boxes aren't set to "normal" or "standard", try unloading WB, resetting them to Normal, then reloading WB. If (because you are running the monitor at high-res) the fonts are now too small, enlarge them
Here's one thing to check: 1. Right-click My Computer and choose Properties . The System Properties dialog box opens. 2. Click the Advanced tab. 3. Under Performance , click Settings . The Performance Options dialog box opens. 4. On the Visual Effects tab, be sure the Use Drop Shadows For Icon Labels On The Desktop is checked . If this box is cleared (not checked), icon l
Here's another thing you can try: 1. Open a command prompt. 2. Type: control userpasswords2 and press Enter. This launches the User Accounts application. 3. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter a User Name and Password to Use This Computer check box. 4. Click OK . 5. The Automatically Log On dialog box appears. 6. Type the user name and password for t
Thanks for the quick response.
Since this morning (June 8) I have been unable to sort skins by any other order then the default "updated" order. Clicking another sort order has no effect, the page reloads, but the order does not change. I have dumped all cookies and temp internet files but it made no difference. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me. If it's just me, anyone got a clue as to what's going on. Thanks, MPD
Yes, 2.00.011 replaced 2.00.010 several hours after I first wrote in. Obviously two updates in one day means that Stardock saw there was a problem and promptly corrected it. Further searching on the message board: news.stardock.com/stardock.od.windows.general reveals the following post from "Kris Kwilas [Stardock]" on 2/18 at 3:01 pm: "Tried to update the Theme Manager build today prior to starting the beta for the next major version, but that didn't work out so well (registry<b
