And everybody in the audience applaused when microsoft showed vista's moving desktop... Anyway, nice feature.

Don't tell your didn't know! And what do you think they (you) do with IE7? We all know you're trying to conquer the world! =D Back to the topic, I don't want TC. Give me one reason I would.

i cant find the link, but i used a modded inf file with lastest geforce drivers...and i have powersaving mode options in control panel........do a search I have it but a 7600Go will always take more power than a 910 integrated.

NOD32.

You can remove *PCI* and CPU* things : they're just drivers and windows can run on all CPUs as long as they're x86. However, windows will run slower without the driver (no 's) for your CPU. My advise is to remove them and integrate new ones. Keep COM+, NLA, Event Log. Can't remember the drawbacks (if any) of removing TPC-IP Netbios Helper. Of course, you can disable it in services.msc and see if your current installation still runs what you want but there's maybe something during XP install. I remove it and have no problem but just wait for somebody to confirm. Network Setup Wizard may have some use for some people but probably not for you; I guess you have DHCP and if needed can enter a static IP. BTW, though I had it removed, a shortcut is still present in "Control Panel\Network Connections". (hnetwiz.dll is however correctly removed)

Don't work at all.

You'll never run such apps under linux imho. You can use the gimp though. The interesting thing is it can now take advantage of photoshop plugins. Debian Slackware SLICK/SUPER, apparented to opensuse And have you taken a look at Slax KillBill Edition ?

^_^ ntfs-3g, faster boots, lzma patches, smp, better wifi. What could we ask then ? Pretty funny : at school we're doing ocaml and it's a nightmare under windows, plus my teacher can't stand windows but his old computers got moved somewhere else and now we have to run slax to get a decent ocaml environment.

I never thought a touchpad could let me scroll so fast. /irony Remove this from your post and save your log in a text file you will attach. *argh*

Asus A6T : from 2.5 to 3 hours. I think GeForce 7600Go is not the best card at power saving. :rolleys:

Sorry for the delay, school just got even harder and we're trying to get linux running there without disturbing anyone because we need it for our coding purpose (ocaml). So really not much time left. Anyway, here are the finalists. Mangix : post Keep it simple, with a tuned foobar. Prankst3r/Claude : post Give me my desktop space back! Echolomax : post We all love Daft Punk. mr.brownstone : post -pS : post -pS listening to Alexisonfire ^^ Click, click, vote.

The reason you must use thumbnails instead of full-sized images: Too long to load: a thumbnail is a few KB while a screenshot can go up to two MB. Usually, there are more than 7 screenshots on the same page. What if you had to download more than 10MB for a single page? This is just to much, even when you have a high-speed internet access. Moreover, servers are sometimes slow and a picture can take up to 5 minutes to load. To wide to display: remember that if you have a 1440x900 screen (this resolution seems trendy now) and you post a 1440x900 image, you won't be able to see it in its whole because of taskbar, browser title bar, buttons bar, other elements on the forum... And in fact, nobody will. The only this does is to break the page layout which is very uncomfortable. There is really no interest in doing that and fast every image-hosting service can make thumbnails on its own. IPB resizes images that are too wide and offers the reader to expand them by clicking on a small bar at the top of them. In fact, they don't get resized by IPB but by your computer each time it is displayed on your screen. This is a very CPU-intensive operation and makes the page-scrolling choppy. You can see the effect very simply by scrolling on a full-sized screenshot.

We all know the PrintScreen-key/paste-in-paint method to take a screenshot. And this is a very effective approach. However we can make screenshots visually appealing just like we do with desktop themselves. The goal of this tutorial is to teach you how. 0- Thumbnails THIS is the only rule in this topic so if you don't use them atm, read on! Images bigger than 300 per * pixels (or the other way round) must never be posted directly inside a topic : link to them. If not, the image will be removed and a link put in its place. More details why thumbnails are needed here. 1- PNG file format JPG is widely used and has a high compression ratio. However, it is a lossy compression format and takes a big part of the visual appeal of your desktop out. On photos it goes unnoticed because people usually don't look close enough to them to see the artifacts. But they are present and some compressors are worse than others. PNG on the other hand is lossless: your screenshot will always be clear and sharp, just like you see it every day. Moreover it compresses better than jpeg on pictures with large chunks of the same color (title bar for example). I have to add that I a clearly biaised towards png screenshots when I have to decide which desktop will go in the monthly contest. 2- Everything but MS's Paint Paint is a nice tiny app but the in/out part could be much better. It is far from having the best visual quality or size for jpeg and doesn't compress at the most when dealing with png. I advise you to use IrfanView or XnView. Both are free and for instance, Irfanview usually compresses 40% better than paint (for a png file). 3- Host Everybody knows imageshack, xs.to, tinypic, photobucket... All of them are free but contain a lot of advertisement, imageshack can be really slow, and they delete pictures that are not checked enough often for them (therefore a lot of images are lacking in past topics). Zxian has set up a nice website so we can upload screenshots without the usual hassle (remember imageshack removes images after 30 days); I advise you to go with it: KwikPiks. If you don't like Canadian people, you can still use screenshots.haque.net or get a deviant art account. 4- Rumshot Rumshot is a .net2 application designed to take screenshots and generate eye-candy thumbnails. It comes with a few themes by default but much more are available on their website. The bad part is it doesn't compress better than paint so I usually recompress screenshots with irfanview. Important: do not do this with thumbnails, they contain complex transparency values that would get lost. A simple example of what you can get: wip

Calculator is set in win.ini afaik. Or maybe too. But monitoring the register, I had nothing changed and in my µA install, I change win.ini and it works.

I wanted to apologize because I won't be able to do January's finalists until Friday. Sorry, school kept me busy this week-end.

And go to winrar options, you can have cascaded menus instead.

Some people know what to do. ^^

Ah, ACPI problem! You could have said it earlier. Try to boot with the noacpi switch. See your bootable CD/DVD help, there are always a few lines on how to disable ACPI. On my laptop, I can have parts of acpi enabled, as long as I have acpi=noirq.

Try OpenSuSe 10.2, they have quite a lot controller drivers and you can provide yours with F5 at DVD boot. PS:@all, avoid grub under windows/dos, they tend to be rarely updated/outdated and this sometimes suck your partitions.

Btw, TweakUI removes nothing : it just changes a registry key to *hide* the icon.

Hi, In the Windows Desktop Screenshot forum, some full-resolution pictures tend to be posted. Eventually they get resized by IPB and we get the "Click to view full image"... But in IE this only happens after the image got loaded. And worse : in FF, all images on the page have to be loaded before they get resized. As far as I remember, HTML lets you put the size when using <img...>. Could such a thing be implemented? I mean, have a constant 320x??? limit and then the dynamic thing to change the size. See http://msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=24&t=92234 Thanks. PS: I'm lazy, errr, not always there.

[Dock] Rocket Dock Free dock for windows which is amazingly fast : default config takes 640MHz at max. A faster mode is available. It supports lots of icons types, under Vista you can get live window previews, it supports ObjectDock docklets, MobyDock, ObjectDock, RK Launcher, and Y'z Dock skins and is available in many languages. Windows can be minimized to it in a nice effect (not like the one in XP) and this doesn't take much CPU power. You can add elements by drag-and-dropping them for explorer or start menu, you can remove them in the same way and it is also possible to reorganize them with drag-and-drop. A demo video is available on their website. Website

I keep forgetting : does it matter if I use the english package ? (french is somehow not available)

My turn now. How said Linux was not meant to be a gaming platform? Running OpenSuSe10.2, KDE, will try full Beryll someday and UT running flawlessly.
