Thought I put this up for those interested to kick around.

Last year I began to feel somewhat hardware constrained.  My PC is an HP Media Center machine from mid 2005. 
I had added a low end graphics card ATI Hypermemory type to HP's standard configuration.  So, I had a 2.4Gz
AMD 3800 single core CPU, 200 GB's of HD storage, 1 Gb of Ram, and a starter graphics card. 

This was initialy adequate but, recently it was feeling sluggish and performance constrained, espec...

I am hoping since SoSE Forums are hosted on Stardock servers that I can request help here.  There's a thread I was foolish enough to start that really does need to be locked once and for all... and left that way.  The various ahh "forum participants" there are using it for their personal dumping ground.  It would be nice just to see that thing buried once and for all.  Any possible assistance in this would be appreciated.  The thread cannot be missed.  Tha...

Hi all, 

Well as a result of Po's thread Virtual Memory Question I've discovered that when I click on start, run and type in msconfig and press enter ...... nothing happens.  I fired up explorer and searched my windows sub, no go and did a system Search twice and again no go.  Did some web searching and discovered one of 2 possibilities an installed app has it hidden from my through a system key setting or in the worst case malware.  At present I'm not suspecting malware....

I've recently been getting some new process showing in task manager called GDM7.exe Yesterday I also saw one with a different number can't remember for sure maybe GDM12.exe. I tried a Yahoo! search and a Google search and found a German thread on HiJack this that had some discussion on GDM7.exe but, I couldn't make much sense of it. Anyone know what this is and where it's from? I killed the process and it doesn't seem to be causing any system stability issues I'm aware of but, what is it?

Ran across this. Has a few good chuckles.  

Hi all! I'm trying to revise an upload of my DX Widget Azenis2 Theme Clock. I made it in a WS mode and at lower res. screens won't appear on screen doh! So, I fixed it, but I can't find any way to modify it. It's in my gallery pending approval. What do I do?  

Desktop Earth, the most popular premium dream of all time, is already available for free for Object Desktop users. Two additional free premium dreams are about to be released for it.

How do I find Desktop Earth?

I thought I would put this out for discussion. Much has been said regarding premium content especially since Master Skins were made available. The reasons cited were (as I recall) along the lines of 1) expanded availability of quality content 2) competition among skinners to produce very high quality content 3) more improvements in WinCustomize 4) more skinners and better retention of skinners. So, is this being attained?

I am definitely a self oriented person. I don't mind paying for so...

Hi guys. I thought I would check here to see what sort of info I could gain on upgrading my PC. First off I have done a printout of some pertinent Hardware specs regarding my equipment. I have an HP Pavilion a1230n Desktop. When purchased it was a nice mid-range Home PC desktop. It has an AMD Athlon 3800+ CPU 2.4 GHz with an ASUS motherboard and 939 socket. Since I have no relevant experience in upgarding a PC, the most I have discovered is there may be some possibility to upgrade the CPU ...

Hi I uploaded a submission last night. I think it's called BD's MP3 Player. It's a DX Widget submission. It doesn't show up as a skin in moderation in my skin library. Any help?

Hi I uploaded something that has to go thru moderation. How can I see what I have in moderation? I know it has only been one day so this isn't a why haven't I seen anything yet question. I seem to recall that skinners have said they can see their submissions that are being reviewed in moderation and I'm not sure how to do that.

Hi all. I'm nearly ready to try and upload for the first time(other than a screen shot). It maybe posted somewhere already but, if someone wouldn't mind, can you please tell me exactly what I need to have ready to do a widget upload. My widget is almost finished. So, what kind of preview thumb do I need to provide? What size and format? Do I need to provide two different sized previews thumbs? Thanks in advance.  

I've begun using Object Bar 2.0 and I am enjoying its functions. It really does make it easy to have a custom bar for your desktop. But I've encounterd some areas that would improve with additional settings being available. For example, I can adjust the color of the text on the main bar, but I can't adjust the color of the text on shortcut dropdown lists. I have desktop folders on my desktop which contain regularly used shortcuts. The text that appears is invisible on the dropdown list beca...

Awhile back I've read posts regarding Viruses and Trojans and Spyware etc. Basically the message was one security package isn't enough. The people who make, market, and sell these things certainly have created that impression. And, the advice here was that using a few good packages might do the trick. So, since I had up to this point have only been using Norton 2006 (once a week full scanning with continuous protection running) and have been pretty happy with it, I decided I should try somet...

Made a good deal of progress on my first widget. Things are looking a good deal better, but can't seem to find how to solve a couple of problems. I generally understand programming, I'm running into problems especially with Syntax. I tried looking at Microsoft's website for VB script info, but for some reason DesktopX doesn't like the syntax I'm using. I'm trying to implement a Do .. While loop. Can anyone show me an example of one? I also will want to write an ASCII text file save as script. Id...
