What is the point of having ratings if people are only allowed to rate things they like? And only rate highly? It does not give a true picture at all of public opinion which is ahwta it is supposed to be about as far as I can see. You have to realise people are different. Some people like swirly bryce. Some people don't. If I were to rate walls as I truely feel I would probably be demoted from being a journeyman almost instantly at the request of all the wall artists. One reason why peopl

"Is anybody capable to tell my in few simple words how to click away WB 3.5 and install WB4??????" People have told you. "And another kind request to those guys who write such programs: Please make them just simply uninstalable!!!!! " They do make them uninstallable. It would seem that something on your PC deleted the log file. Possibly an overzealous cleanup program that deletes all backup and what it considers temporary files. A log file may be considered temp

badblueboy: 1. Disable Windowblinds 2. Reboot 3. If the fastload.dll file is still locked, just delete everything else. 4. Install registered WB4 to a new folder. 5. When it's using that fastload instead of the other delete the old one. 6. Try killing explorer in the taskmanager and going through cmd and deleteing through that. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" bord

May also be the filename. Does it have a . in it? ie if you create something.cool.zip and try to upload it wincustomize will see it as a file with cool.zip as the extension. If it does have a . change it to - to make something-cool.zip

badblueboy: OK, precisely: Open the Windowblinds folder (probably C:\Program files\Stardock\Windowblinds) and look for install.log. Copy that to c:\ Copy the unwise.exe file to the same location from the same directory. Run unwise.exe from c:\ In theory it should read the install.log in there and uninstall Windowblinds. In reality I'm not sure if it'll work but I have read of other people who had the same problem and did this to fix it. <A HREF="https:

Reply to Uninstall Windows Blinds! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I believe the correct uninstall method (if the normal route fails) is to copy the log and the uninstaller (probably called unwise.exe) to the root (C:\) and run unwise from there. For some reason Wise seems to have issues with long filenames or something. Not sure what it is exactly.

Reply to How can I read an NTFS drive from DOS? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

what OS is on it? If it's 2000 or XP insert the Install CD and when prompted to repair or whatever choose recovery console. From there you should be able to dig around and see if the hard disk is even readable. I recently had someone at work who was getting 'no boot disk' on windows XP. Managed to use the 2K recovery console to write a new MBR and get it up and running. Turned out she had over 400 infected files (three different viruses in there, yaha, loveletter and one other I can

That can already be done using DXscript. But it is a bit complicated currently because each object has to be moved individually. You can't just move the parent and let DX move the children or grouped objects as the parent->child->group relationship is not recognised by dxscript.

Reply to DesktopX resolution independence in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Short answer yes. Long answer follows: Create Object1 (shortcuts) which will be set length of 100. Dock to the top and left and that's all. Create Object2 (Taskbar) Dock to left and top and position to the right of the shortcuts. Because the left hand side of it will always be in the left half of the screen it can be docked to the left. Now set this to -100 Create Object3 (systray) Dock to right and fixed width of 100. Position to the right of Object2. Boxx

You can use negative values in the width and height settings and also percentages. So for a taskbar that needs to go all the way across the screen you would simply put 100% in the width. If however you needed a systray to the right of that which was 100 pixels wide you would use a width of -100 and dock the object to the left of the screen. The systray object would be docked to the right of the screen. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&NewsID=913

Reply to Q about DX2 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

thundr51: Depending on the style of the theme it is possible to set it up to be resolution independent. It is not that complicated and the settings in DX are there to enable it with ones that just show a bar or something. If DX won't do it itself it is possible using dxscript to calculate where on the screen to show things. My latest theme will use both methods. Partially DX settings and partially code to tell it where to appear. Using these methods it's possible to make objects that snap t
