Thanks for reply, I tired finding coolinfo, came up with h**p://www.joshmeier.net/ci/ but it was down "i think" then tried fileflash.com and same couldn't download the file. Oh well. Anyhow actually in windowsxp, goto the command prompt (start::::run::::cmd) then type: systeminfo make sure to scroll up and you will notice your uptime ;-) I'll check back later this week for the file. Thanks again for the rec ;-0 Hey weatherbug is some hardcore weather proggie .... I checked out the screenshot looks pretty cool.

Actually roxio was one of the companies that took the longest to post xp drivers. Funny fact: First day they posted the updates for users already running xp: 1 install the update and u'll be fine then they changed thier minds and said. install 5.02 update then 5.1 update now it's too funny.. they say install 5.1 update then 5.02 , then 5.1 again! what I still don't get, roxio made the cd-r software in winxp.... and they couldn't get thier ezcd xp drivers out in time!!!!!! When they first posted the updates, anyone can grab them, now you have to register. I think they didn't know how many poeple "use" thier software ... hahahahha

Hi there, I need recommendations for dynamic software on desktop that controls say "system uptime, local weather,etc.." ..........hope that made sense Any ideas? I'm only familir with infotop, uses .NET and it can disply sys uptime, stocks, weather,etc.. Please rec software you've used successfully with winxp ;-) Thanks in advance.

Not really familiar with other programs, anyhow I use EzCd 5.1 Platinum. hope that helps...

There are 2 ways to use themes out there. One way is using a program called Windows Blinds, which is basically another program like MS plus. Then there is StylesXP which modifies xp so you it accept themes made by non MS. MS didn't want to let anyone else use thier THEME concept, thus poeple have to figure out a way around it ... and stylexp is the answer ;-) 01. Download Stylexp from h**p://www.tgtsoft.com/download.html 02. Install Stylexp. (System boots) 03. You have a new theme called toothpaste 04. Check one of the following sites for themes: 04a. h**p://www.boomgames.com/xpthemes/browse.php?type=theme 04b. h**p://www.themexp.org/ 05. Choose a theme / download it/ unzip files 06. Make sure files are in (X:WINDOWSRESOURCESTHEMES) as Aaron said 07. a. Some authors create a .theme so you can easily find it from the (right click desktop:::>properties::>themes:::> and select the theme from the drop down menu b. other authors just provide .mssstyles (Thus all you do in that case is to double click on it Please note: a. Some themes comes with wallpapers, others don't. It really depends on the author b. check h**p://xp.modrica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=799 It mentions that some of the themes that were made for Plus are compatible within xp (I haven't tested them, but Xperties did, and I'm pretty sure he's righ ;-) ) REPLACE ** with tt

Check h**p://100best-free-web-space.com/ replace ** with tt

Oh so you had it too? The odd part that I can't figure out, is that the file was created about 6 days ago on my systme, whereas I've had office xp installed since the 28th of October and I just mainly use word and outlook. Btw really appreciate your help, thanks.

Oh cool. Would you know what function that file has?

yup, I got office 2k installed.

Here is more detailed info: I think this files comes up after some tweaking: [u:5e81eb9f60]General Tab[/u:5e81eb9f60] Name: PowerReg Scheduler.exe Description: PRegScheduler Size: 250 KB (256,000 bytes [u:5e81eb9f60]Version Tab[/u:5e81eb9f60] File version.....2.0.0.1 Description......PRegScheduler MFC Application Copyright........Copyright © 1999 OriginalName.....PRegScheduler.EXE I even tried google, it only came up with a german forum and a spanich forum, translated the german forum using (goolge translator) but the german forum had no answers. I couldn't figure out the spanish one. Thanks AaronXP for looking into this

Anyone know what is PowerReg Scheduler.exe? I was looking around my programs and found it in my startup folder?

Below is some info a friend of mine had emailed me a while back. Hope it helps: Goto: Start::::> run:::> regedit::::>find the following key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMediaPlayerSettingsMP3Encoding] "LowRate"=dword:0000dac0 "MediumRate"=dword:0000fa00 "MediumHighRate"=dword:0001f400 "HighRate"=dword:0002ee00 Edit the rates to the way you like: 320 Kbps = dword:0004e200 256 Kbps = dword:0003e800 224 Kbps = dword:00036b00 192 Kbps = dword:0002ee00 160 Kbps = dword:00027100 128 Kbps = dword:0001f400 112 Kbps = dword:0001b580 64 Kbps = dword:0000fa00 56 Kbps = dword:0000dac0

NO LAUGHING!!! you guys won't believe this, I could've sworn I put my xp folder in the last drawer of my desk. But when I went to search for it no luck, so I went nuts posting every forum I found "how to obtain cd key " well, it's almost 6am and I was lurking around the drawers and decided to pull the whole thing out, GUESS WHAT? the cd was hidden under it. Not sure if you can visualize it, but anyhow I just had to tell someone!!!!!!!!!! again thanks and yay i have my copy!!!!!!!!!

So I'm pretty much out of luck I guess.. **** I'll call MS on monday and post how it went.. thanks for feedback....

Actually the site you mentioned is currently having some copyrighted issues with MSN communities, hopefully bink (founder) can figure it out and we continue to have his community ;-)

Hi, I lost my winxp folder. I have the Academic winxp pro upgrade edition($95).It comes in a cool looking folder, anyhow I lost that folder with my key and cd. But luckly my brother still has his copy, so I was hoping if there is a way I can find the CD-Key I installed on my comp? I know it can't be the serial # on the my computer::>properties area. If anyone can help me out, I'd be much obliged.
