It doesn't matter now, I reinstalled XP, which wasn't a problem as I had already just done it 2 days prior.

Keeps asking for reboot in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I installed the WB6 demo and rebooted, however it asked for a reboot again. After the second, it still asked for a reboot. I even disabled my anti-virus and firewall, as it suggested, but that didn't work. So, I uninstalled, using RevoUninstall, and tried installing it in Safe Mode, but got the same results. So, I uninstalled that and tried installing a 5.5 demo I found on the internet, but still got the same problem. I've searched all over the internet, but all results have no solution. I had a

Anyone using an older version of Windows? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I was looking at the forums available, and noticed there wasn't a forum for older versions of Windows. I want to know how many people are using Windows 2000 or older. I'm using 2000. Not because I'm poor and couldn't afford the upgrade, but because I replaced XP with it. I think 2000 is better than XP, because it IS XP, just without the RAM draining extras. The installer disc I used was around 600 MB, and that had 4 versions of 2000 on it. The XP install disc is about

Reply to Why is my computer running so slow? in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

The most common problem with slow computers, is applications running in the background. However, there are other reasons, such as little Hard Drive space, a lot of icons on the desktop, and various others. I would recommend doing a disk clean up and a def rag. you can also get WinASO which repairs registry problems and has tools to make your computer faster. It costs money, but it's a good tool, and you can get a trial. If none of this works, then I would go through the Add/Remove Prog

Is it worth it? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

There are many customization tools from Stardock, but this kind of customization doesn't come small, infact, if you would have the entire dektop suite, you would be looking at total file size, larger than many of todays games.

So you want to make links open in a maximized window? well the whole reason they added tabs, was that there is no need for new windows. So that pop-ups controlled by you (ie, you clicked a link that would normally open a new window) open in new tabs, go to Internet Options on the Tools menu and select Settings in the tab area, where it says When a pop-up is encountered: select always open in new tabs, that should do the trick.

Reply to PC vs. Mac in OS Wars WinCustomize Forums

I think that there's no competition between Microsoft and Apple. Both companies were founded on the same year and Apple developed the first computer to get out of DOS and was the first computer company to sell over 1 Million Personal Computers AND filed a copyright infringement on Microsoft for copying their Mac for use with the Windows 3.0. They later developed the style of computers which started todays desktop computers and allowed copying of their
