Revo Uninstaller has no icon

5ammy — Mon, 28 May 2012 6:55:19 PM -0400

When I run Revo Uninstaller there is no icon that shows up in the dock for it. Also, before I can run Revo, there's a Windows confirmation dialog that pops up asking for me to continue, and no icon for this shows up either. Could someone fix this?

The next full moon is 4 June 2012

LizMarr — Mon, 28 May 2012 6:44:28 PM -0400

When I worked in the medical field we SWORE on our mother's grave that the lunies come out with the full moon. Here we've had the WTF guy, the UNINSTALLED guy, and one that insults the Memorial Day holiday (which I still object to the USA putting on a Monday). I know it is supposed to be a time of remembrance and contemplation, but gee wiz. Eat a BBQ hotdog and watch the ATVs on the sand. I'd say "drink a beer" but beer ain't allowed on the dunes here.

Wish I had a hotdog emot...

Last person to post wins, unless they are a moderator or admin.

numerarius5988am — Mon, 28 May 2012 6:31:44 PM -0400

Basically, this game is played so that the last person who post wins. What do they win? The ThreadKiller's Achievement; The honor of being the last person to post by virtue of the content of their post. However, moderators, admins, and anyone else who has the ability to lock the thread are disqualified from winning the ThreadKiller's Achievement, if they win by locking. If the thread is won by method of locking, the "winner" gains the Achievement Of Reprehensible Epic Lameness.

U.S. Cops shooting people's dogs

tetleytea — Mon, 28 May 2012 6:26:08 PM -0400

I'm surprised this hasn't already been brought up in this forum, but it seems in the U.S. that cops are posing a substantial danger to people's dogs. Here is the latest incident just yesterday:

http://www.the33tv.com/videogallery/70167662/News/5/27/12-dog-shot

If you look at the video, the cop was well within the victim's private property. Allegedly the cop visited the wrong address on a call for a robbery--which is only all the more en...

Keep a Word - Drop a Word

angus1949 — Mon, 28 May 2012 6:11:14 PM -0400

Quite simple: I start off with 2 words. The next person keeps one of the words and replaces the dropped word with another.

Examples: Run fast

Fast cars

Cars rock

My word to start: Christmas holiday

Multiple Visual Studio problem

Koncept42 — Mon, 28 May 2012 6:07:14 PM -0400

I have Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 on my dock, however it treats them as the same application - the running indicator is shown below both when only one is running, and clicking the 2008 icon opens up 2010 when either one or both are running.

Simple Digital Clock not remembering my configuration

5ammy — Mon, 28 May 2012 5:55:32 PM -0400

Why is it that every time I restart ObjectDock, Simple Digital Clock reset's it's configuration? Is it because I left some of the field blank? Date format string in the Clock field area and Time format string in the Label field area are both set to blank, until I restart ObjectDock.

Uninstalled

AllDoneHere — Mon, 28 May 2012 5:27:26 PM -0400

I've uninstalled The Stardock/Wincustomize software -

My personal opinion on Wincustomize and Stardock is that I wouldn't recommend their software to anyone. They are very unprofessional and are not customer oriented. The admins are rude and obnoxiousness and are less than customer oriented.After years of uploading Dreams to the site I've deleted all my work and uninstalled their software from my computers that I purchased... I'm out the $60.00 bucks, so let me...

"Thank you" is all I can say...

DrJBHL — Mon, 28 May 2012 5:05:36 PM -0400

Every year and at various times through the year, I feel a deep sorrow and celebrate the lives freely given that I, my family and my friends might live in freedom.

So, again it it time to express this "Thank you" to the various members of the armed services and security forces, men and women, fathers, sons, mothers and daughters of every nation, who made that sacrifice.

Invariably, I feel inadequate for that sacrifice and vow to try to do better, and in some way fail.

Again ...

Why is it taking so long to process my order

iainparfitt — Mon, 28 May 2012 4:56:20 PM -0400

I placed my order for Object Desktop, Tweak 7 and Objectdock Plus v2 last Saturday. I was advised that it would take up to 2 working days to process the order. Well it's now another weekend and still when I log on it says I have no orders and strangely the shopping cart still says I have 3 items in it despite receiving an order confirming the order and giving me an order number 2171806.

Can someone from Stardock please look into this as I am getting concerned.

Many thanks.

Andromeda WB - Released!!

vStyler — Mon, 28 May 2012 3:38:35 PM -0400

After a bit of a layoff I am happy to have finished my latest WB - "Andromeda"

I have been working on this for a looong time, and I hope now that it is finished that everyone will enjoy this space inspired theme.

It is fully skinned for Windows 7, Vista and XP, and I shall continue to skin all 3 OS's at least for the near future.

The Skin also have a second substyle with plain toolbars and status bars. (requested by Snowman)

Matching skins and walls should be along soon...

Kaspersky has reported discovering a really super piece of spyware after being requested to investigate suspected malware causing information loss at the Iranian oil refinery/depot. They believe it’s been around since August 2010.

Notable – Chrome Overtook IE in Market Share.

DrJBHL — Mon, 28 May 2012 1:40:19 PM -0400

Not designed to start a ‘browser war’ here. Hankers sent me the link, and I thought it worth mentioning.

Browsing the graph by geographic area showed some very interesting stats. It would seem that the most impressive gain for Chrome and loss for IE comes from South America. I didn’t see any place in which Chrome actually lost to IE, but there are several areas where IE holds a steady lead – Australia, Germany… interesting.

It’s interesting to browse the site. Use the drop ...

The REAL Chatroom

morpheas768 — Mon, 28 May 2012 1:39:47 PM -0400

Ok, so I decided to create a new Chatroom, because the old one was getting pretty....old!

Everyone may post here, as well as in the good'ol Flameroom...I mean, Chatroom

I would like to keep this Chatroom civilized. Well, as civilized as most forum threads are (doesnt mean that you all have to be polite like Oatesy, lol).

So for this reason, I may update the OP of this thread in the future, posting certain thread rules, as I see fit.

For now though, post away, and everyo...

OK, guys. Time for some fun.

Instead, we could have some fun and try looking at a desk and mating it up to a member...

Dream Submission Guidelines

Frogboy — Sun, 27 May 2012 11:31:24 PM -0400

As the # of animated wallpapers submitted increases, we're having to establish some guidelines on what is and isn't going to be accepted:

Content MUST loop. An animated wallpaper should have a reasonably transitioning loop.
Do NOT submit content other people's work without their permission. We are allowing some leeway right now on this rule for content that is based on content distributed on the net until we determine the legality of this.
Content must be high-definition. That means the v...
