[Windows Welcome clip]

Are you talking about the wavy flag that turns into the Microsoft Windows logo?

[How Do YOU Style?]

I see no reason to install a program just to change colors & shapes on the screen.

[How Do YOU Style?]

Patched uxtheme.dll works for me.

[Language Bar gone...]

If you mean the Language Bar button under Preferences, it's not available unless one of the following is installed and added as a text service:

Speech or handwriting recognition or an Input Method Editor (IME)

[Language Bar gone...]

In Regional and Language options --> Languages tab --> Details button --> Advanced tab, under the system configuration section is "Turn off advanced text services" checked?

[who wants gmail?]

I've got 6 invitations, who wants one? :-)

[old MB and new vid card - continued (new problem)]

Sounds like the new power supply is busted. Does the power supply have one of those on/off switches on the back of it? Did you check that? (I know it's a stupid question, but I gotta ask it)

[Rating for SP2]

I only installed SP2 so I didn't have to deal with all the individual hotfixes.

[[UTILITY] How To Replace In Use Files]

Thank you, I've been looking for this. :-)

[Windows 1.0 by Steve Ballmer]

I think the guy had too much coffee or crack before filming.

[Install XP from hard drive...]

go to the i386 directory and type: winnt (or winnt32, if winnt doesn't work) and the install will begin. Don't forget your cd-key :-)

[MSN Messenger sign on]

Either it's just another windows annoyance, or someone, somewhere is using your username & password. Unless, you use msn messenger somewhere other than your home computer.

[I was bored...]

It looks o.k., but personally I'd probably go with a white background.

[Happy to be here!]

I'm happy that you're happy to be here :-)

[Wanna restarting but no luck]

I tried the auto reboot thing once, but I put it in the wrong place and my computer rebooted before everything was installed, so I just took it out. Check out the unattended guide, it should help you.

[Mouse Question]

I'm pretty sure one of the optical mice I used to have sometimes stayed lit up even when the computer was off. Probably nothing to worry about.

[Hi everyone!]

Like a lot of people, I've been visiting the boards for awhile-especially the Unattended section, lots of great info there. I hope to be able to contribute something here on MSFN.
