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....

Ran across this. Has a few good chuckles.

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...

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...

I'm fairly new at this a novice user. In any case I've been kinda poking away at stuff to see how things work. So far I like my purchases - well worth it. I would like to ask for a bug fix namely better support for large and extra large fonts. I use tool bars on the windows task bar and with higher screen resolutions I really need large and sometimes extra large fonts. However, Window Blinds cutsoff the bottom of larger fonts on the windows task bar. For example, in My Desktop, when sele...

My first request is to ask for support of large and extra large fonts in Window Blinds 5.0. I use toolbars when using Window Blinds themes and I have noticed that text on Window Blinds generated theme task bars cut-off text. For example, if I've loaded Artwork theme and selected large fonts to keep text readable in higher resolution modes, the bottom of the "p" and "y" in the word "Display" on the windows task bar will be cutoff. This does not occur when running Windows XP without Window Blin...
