Also having this problem... never noticed it until I brought up the Start Panel/Menu and looked here. Video card is Radeon 9800 Pro with Catalyst 5.9 drivers. Didn't update the drivers yet and would like to know if this can be considered a software bug and not a driver-related problem. I've the same sys-info output as he does.
For ATi video cards, latest drivers can be found at... Link For nVIDIA video cards, latest drivers can be found at... Link There's also Neil's approach... which would save you some download/reboot/upgrade time.
I just went and tried on my nearly 2 yr old machine which has Radeon 9800 pro 256mb the glass crap didn't work is it just the shareware version or what it suck. my other machine which is only a cheapy but only 6 months old didn't like windows blinds 5 on it it slowed it down i had uninstalled it but has left traces of a vist
It's a pity that I won't be using this system since I don't use JoeUser as my primary blogging site. Instead, I use a different one located here for all my entries. It's more flexible and I like the system more. Either way, please go to there instead of here since I won't be using JoeUser as a blog site. </
I tried this way back when I first saw it on NT Compatible. It's an interesting app but I found the usability to be unfitting for my needs. Maybe I'm still fond of the Gallery UI that Microsoft's R&D team created. But this one didn't seem all that interesting. Maybe that's changed in the recent releases but who knows. It's a different way to visualize your windows but the drawback is obviously the limitation in GDI+, of which your drawing foundati
And if you have the hardware... take a look at this for some eye-popping and major-drooling view of the 360 running with some... certain display Link
My point is this: never doubt Bill Gates. Whether you think Microsoft and Bill Gates are evil is beside the point. If there's money to be made, Bill Gates will be the one making it and thus, Xbox 360 will become the most popular system. I'll doubt Gates due to the creation that MS put out long ago. Its nam
Bah... I still love my Dreamcast. VGA monitor output = awesome. Every game I have played with it, I have loved the experience with it. You cannot beat that. So what if you can output the 360 to HDTV? It's not the same as being able to hook it up to a common computer monitor and being able to view games in 480p. You tell me what's cheaper in terms of experience.
Innnnnnnnnnteresting...
Don't take anything in this post the wrong way. Not meant to be offensive or accusing of anything. I find it funny that you have no "incentives" on spending $20 for a subscription. Yet, you have your incentives to download from this community and not contribute. Where, it's clear that the community is in trouble and ne
I personally do not have much incentives on spending 20 for a subscription. At least, not yet... But I do would like to express and explore the bandwidth concerns. Skins, screenshots, and suite/themes are downloaded every day. We all know that is a problem. But I see a different problem: the site itself. To elaborate, the site design, while nice and spiffy, needs a redesign still. Why? The site design in itself is part of the load too
it's good to see that bugs are being fixed so promptly. But there's something that's been bugging me for a while... what about the premium skins? I revisited the old Pixtudio site and found that the PixOS suite hasn't been updated in eons. In fact, it never got updated since it was released according to their site. The PixOS WB skin is perhaps one of the few handfuls of skins that're designed well... not overly bulky and not too minimalistic. Will
Hehe. I can imagine it now... Cartman Widget v2.0, complete with audible random Cartman quotes. Imagine the possibilities...
According to what's seen here... Link Nope... They (MS) may have a new fancy Alt-Tab. But I prefer Stardock's implementation of it.
Woah... WinFX looks interesting now... now if Microsoft can simply "adopt" that window switching method in Vista... then it'd be an improvement over what they're using now.
Perhaps the reason why some of the icons never changed is because most users never see them in the first place. If the users only use the basic functionality of Windows, the likelihood of seeing ancient icons from the old days is very very slim, maybe nil if we're lucky. I'm sure a bunch of us power-users are those who poke around, traverse, uncover, and tinker with various internal settings to better suit our needs. But this is all in theory.
Okay, this is a complicated matter. First off, you cannot order a service provider to combat piracy. It's just not logical. Secondly, the court needs to get their brains checked. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. So the court is going to order the gun makers to stop making guns? Like sbnelson said above, there are two sides to the usage of a technology. If the RIAA or the MPAA has any intelligence what-so-ever, they s
No hard drive in the basic model?? What kinda Crap is that? I'll keep my original Xbox until microsoft comes to their senses. I feel that I had to defend this one here for once, since I'm not much of a big fan of MS... Okay, 300 bucks nets you a basic console system with a wired controller. Now
Holy moly... that's expensive just for all the fancy stuff. The savings is quite good all things considered: 50 for the wireless controller, possibly 20 for the HD-AV cable, possibly 15-30 for the remote, possibly 20-30 for the headset, and however much it is for Live! Silver membership. I'd throw down my 400 for it but... I'm afraid I'll have to play the waiting game and see what Big N has up their sleeves. Here's to hoping some good comp
I think this one would benefit Stardock on two fronts... "Get rid of GDI altogether and implement a simple 3D windowing subsystem API and framework." To elaborate the above suggestion, make drawing desktops accelerated using direct 3D hardware calls similar and akin to what OS X does in their desktop. Copying ideas? Yes. But at least we won't be limited in what software developers can do when decorating a desktop and customizin
Welp, all that's left is to make OS/2 open-source. But that's up to IBM at this point. If they do make the code public, then I guess OS/2 would then stand for Open Source/2. Welp, I only had a small chance to try out OS/2 back in the old days. Unfortunately, it didn't keep me in long enough for me to continue using it.
*sees 3rd screenshot* ... Show-off!!
Well, I can honestly say I did not know that tidbit about OS/2 not being able to gain market share in the OEM side of things. Shows how little I know about the OS/2 history. The payment is large. But yeah, one has to wonder if that's a big hit or just chump change to them (MS). I'll question that bit until someone can accurately answer that for me. OS/2 should've won... but had they won, I don't think Linux or Mac OS X would be
I'll comment on this, since security is always an issue with everyone. As Jafo pointed out, it's one thing to question. It's another to dismiss it. I'm those who will question the result as Microsoft is trying every which way to sway people from Open Source solutions like *BSD and Linux. If it means that they have to get a company who'll favor them, then that's what they'll do. They're only wanting to advertise themselves as being more se
Okay, so I've been reading up on this and the news still hasn't settled in. You know, the shock of it all, that notion you get when it's so unbelievable that it's hard to believe it's true now. I've always known that they've had a dual architecture development for OS X. It's evident when you look at Apple's Darwin project page. They have builds for both PPC and for Intel architectures. The only thing that is missing is the GUI. That's to
