It installs and works fine with win98/98se/ME. Only thing though, is that if you have less than 128MB of RAM, you'll see it quite slow.

You need to be clearer on this... You want to set the logon to log you in automatically? Or to re-design how it looks? Or to change the method in which it works for logon?

Those reg keys above uses absolute paths, and that's a mistake.... Using system variables like %ProgramFiles% would be better.

Ha ha.... Up really late is true - to check the forum, that's not always true!Anyways, you can click on "My Controls" (top of screen) and set your timezone.

0.1 is somewhat closer to alpha than beta But this is looking good.... Will try it out soon!

There was an entire STICKIED topic for this, and you managed to not notice that?

Anyone notice the page-jump java-script dialog that exists for multi-page topics? And also, you get an icon that on clicking shows you all the attachments in the topic. Both these are in the forum topics-page view.

haha yeah.....Atleast now no more of those disappointments (I hope). It used to frequently happen that I see a topic and reply to it - and when it got posted, notice that just seconds ago someone else has already replied and so my post would be rendered a clone (despite being original ). Take a look at how any new attached images get rendered as thumbnails.... Also, the attachment manager is a big jump of functionality. Each person is allotted a limited amount of space - and he has to judiciously manage it (meaning, when space is full, remove old attachments when posting something new). Also, one more nice thing for those who'd care to use the new features, is the CODEBOX tag which can be used in place of the CODE tag. The benefit is that tables don't get mis-aligned plus it will occupy only a defined area. If there's too much text (either horizontally or vertically) it gets scroll bars in the appropriate direction without actually affecting the whole page. Here's an example: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

slimzky, you can easily do it. A virtual PC is the same as your real PC - but harmless. Boot up from any bootable disk and start a partitioning tool and partition it to how your real HD is set up. Normally you can assign just the bare minimum but simulate a far larger HD - provided your VM software permits and you don't ACTUALLY fill up your virtual disk to 40 GB.

Stardock is pretty good, but it has lots of problems that has been said above. If faking XP is all you want, check out Aston Desktop, or Talisman Desktop - both are shells far better than the stardock packages would give. Of course, if you suffer stardock first and then go to these apps you'd appreciate them better.

The circumstances you describe gives an impression that looks like a worm/virus or something has landed on your system. Someone else who has experienced this might come along and see this topic and give a solution.... Else, if no other solution comes through, what you have to do is disable file/folder sharing altogether, by stopping the service. Plus, de-activate the "Server" mode and leave only "Workstation" enabled. Else, if you'd rather eliminate the virus than keep it dormant, you'd be better off doing a re-install with merged ServicePacks and hot-fixes - and install a good anti-virus with updated definitions.

It remembers your selections across pages - so if you wanted to quote 3 posts, one from 1st page, one from 30th page, and one from 43rd page, you can do it. Press the Quote+ button for each of those posts, then click Add Reply - all of those posts are present there. But if you accidentally clicked Quote+, then click that button again (which has become Quote-) to undo the multi-quote.Just be careful while using the multi-quote feature. Because quoting more than necessary is not good.... You will also see an arrow icon in a quote block - clicking that icon takes you to visit the original post which was quoted. Lot of good stuff around, huh? Here's an interesting task for you - click the member name to go and see their profile. Then in that screen you can see whether they are online. If they are online, you can see what activity they are doing (reading/searching/replying/posting/PMing/reading which forum index/seeing member profile/etc.). It will even tell you which topic the person is in.... Try that - that is something like spying on what somebody is doing.

Found it yet? The time has come for us to need it....

http://web.okaygo.co.uk/apps/letters/flashcom/index.htm Check out that page.... Lots of people seem to be making words that they want. So you either make the word you want - more likelyt you want to co-ordinate with friends to "catch" the desired letters and construct your word. Or you in a bad mood? Just boom your way through that game - destroy the words others are making.

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Sears hairdryer — Do not use while sleeping. (Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.) On a bag of Fritos — You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?) On a bar of Dial soap — "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....) On some Swanson frozen dinners — "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion.) On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) — "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh!) On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding — "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...) On packaging for a Rowenta iron — "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?) On Boot's Children Cough Medicine — "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.) On Nytol Sleep Aid — "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm taking this because???....) On most brands of Christmas lights — "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what?) On Sainsbury's peanuts — "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash) On an American Airlines packet of nuts — "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?) On a child's Superman costume — "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company! . I blame the parents for this one.) On a Swedish chain saw — "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands." (Oh my gosh...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Remember your nursery rhymes?

A Scottish tourist attended his first baseball game in the US and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring "Run....Run!" The next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands up and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-run will ya!" A third batter hits a slam and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screams "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run will ya!" The next batter steadfastly holds his swing four times and as the ump calls a walk the Scotsman stands up and yells "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run!" All the surrounding fans giggle quietly and he sits down confused. A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment, whispers to the Scotsman, "He doesn't have to run, he's got four balls." After this explanation the Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams, "Walk with pr-r-ride man! Walk with pr-r-ride!!!!"

but still you would post. hmm..... Well, that link to the dictionary was given on purpose. (above)

There's probably very few people who don't use Microsoft's Word for their text formatting needs... Ever wondered what would happen if you ran your file through the spell-check and accepted every alternative it gives you? And then this. How frequently have you moaned that English is supposed to have a standardised form of speech and spelling, instead of how its mangled all over the world now?

Mr..Verma comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around his neck: "I have great news: I'm a month overdue. I think we're going to have a baby! The doctor gave me a test today, but until we find out for sure, we can't tell anybody." The next day, Mrs..Verma receives a telephone call from British Gas because the electricity bill has not been paid. " Am I speaking to Mrs..Verma ? " "Yes...... speaking" British Gas guy, "You're a month overdue, you know!" "How do YOU know?" stammers the young woman. "Well, ma'am, it's in our files!" says the British Gas guy . "What are you saying? It's in your files ...... HOW ?????" " Yes ............. We have a system of finding out who's overdue " " GOD !!!!!!......... this is too much.........." "Madam, I am sorry...... I am following orders.... I have to inform you are overdue" I know that ....... let me talk to my husband about this tonight.....he will speak to your company tomorrow " That night, she tells her husband about the visit, and he, mad as a bull,rushes to British Gas office the next day morning. "What's going on? You have it on file that my wife is a month overdue? What business is that of yours?" the husband shouts. "Just calm down," says the lady at the reception at British Gas, "it's nothing serious. All you have to do is pay us." "PAY you? and if I refuse?" "Well, in that case, sir, we'd have no option but to cut yours off." "And what would my wife do then?" the husband asks. "I don't know. I guess she'd have to use a candle."

There was this magician who had a job on a cruise liner, entertaining the passengers with a nightly show. He was very successfull in his job and there was always a full house at all his performances. Life was sweet. The money was rolling in, he had one of the best cabins, ate the best food, mixed with the best people. All was fine until one day the captain bought a parrot. The highlight of the parrot's day was going along to see the magician in action in the evening. During the magician's performances, the parrot would watch him very carefully during each trick, and immediately after the magician had completed the trick the parrot would call out in a loud squark, "It's up his sleeve, it's up his sleeve," or, "It's down his trousers, it's down his trousers," each time ruining the magician's trick. Well life was no longer as sweet and the magician started to struggle to satisfy the passengers. The magician naturally got very tired of the parrot and longed to kill it. Then one night in the middle of the magician's performances, the ship hit an iceberg and sank. Everyone was killed except for the magician and the parrot. The magician managed to swim to a piece of wreckage, climbed aboard and collapsed. The parrot flew towards the magician and perched on the edge of the raft and stared at the magician. For a whole day the magician was unconscious, and all this time the parrot did not take his eyes off him. Eventually the magician started to stir, and looked up not really knowing where he was or what had happened. He eventually found enough energy to sit up. He then noticed the parrot, who had not stopped focusing his eyes on him all this time. "Alright I give up....." chirped the parrot, ".....what have you done with the ship?"

The old Pope dies, and naturally, goes to Heaven. He's met by the reception committee, and after a whirlwind tour of the establishment, he's told that he can enjoy any of the myriad recreations available. He decides that he wants to read all of the ancient, original texts of the Holy Scriptures, and spends the next eon or so learning the languages. After becoming a linguistic master, he sits down in the library and begins to pore over every version of the Bible, working back from the most recent "Easy Reading" to the original script. For ages, his scholarly studies keep him quietly absorbed, until one day, all of a sudden there comes an almighty scream from the library. The angels come running to him, only to find the Pope huddled in a chair, crying to himself, and muttering despairingly, "An 'R'! They left out the 'R'!" God takes him aside, offers him comfort and inquires what has distressed him so. After collecting his wits, the Pope sobs again, "It's the letter 'R'...the word was supposed to be CELEBRATE!" dictionary for reference
