Norton 2009 Products

Leo the Lion — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:41:33 -0400

I know this will get howls of derision from the anti-Norton lobby.......but I'm trying out the brand new Norton Internet Security 2009 Suite and I am very impressed. It's catching everything I throw at it. Norton really are listening to their critics now and have started to turn the corner. Very fast scanning, quick reliable pick-up of anything malicious, very small foot print and updates released virtually every day. After the horrors of 2006 they are making a big effort and I think they are go...

Updating Skins

SinTactics — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:17:52 -0400

I updated my DX skin today and accidentally checked the 'update date' option. It deleted my DX skin from the gallery. Can't WC leave the skin there until it's moderated, then update it? I've had a bad experience with moderation before-took about 10 days to be moderated and I don't really want to wait for this long every time I update.

Original vista style, something gone terribly wrong...

islascanarias — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:03:07 -0400

I made the mistake of installing a theme i found on the web (seemed nice on the photos) called "xion". The thing is, after i noticed somehting was wrong, i tried to uninstall with the proper uninstallation tool which did not work. The result was to revert back to the original vista aero theme and visual, however some buttons in windows explorer are stuck to the xion thing and also the logon screen as well. (some x's here and there too).

I tried window blinds to see if i could restore the orig...

Tokens - Sins

298th Whitey — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 21:05:23 -0400

So I setup my TG.NET account because I really liked Space Rangers and GCiv2. I started off with 10 tokens and I new Sins would be out in 6 months so I bought Space Rangers and GCiv2 then Dark Avatar but I hung onto 5 tokens knowing that soon, so soon, Sins would be out and I really wanted that game. I figured 5 tokens would be plenty because the most expensive game was 5 tokens. I was sooooo excited when it came out, except..... what is this? 6 tokens! Gah! So...

Windows Dreamscene--

Topman88 — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:26:56 -0400

Hey everyone. I have a relatively nice computer, running Vista Ultimate, no complaints about it so far. I had in the past (good while ago) installed Dreamscene just to mess around with it but have since wiped my harddrive, started over, and installed SP-1. Now the other day I decided I wanted to putz around with Dreamscene again, so, I went to Windows Update, downloaded Dreamscene, went through the steps waiting, restarting, and waiting. Now back at the desktop, I go to the search bar, and Dream...

SOMETHING WEIRD HAPPENED TO MY PC

ramesese — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 23:42:13 -0400

Something weird happened to my pc. I'm currently running Vista Home Basic [wow] at least it's Vista lol. Anywoo, I only have a total of 140 gigs on my system yesterday [July 12] I had a total of 118 gigs. All of which included my software, games, pics, etc. Today when I booted up my system my pc stated I had a whooping 5.7 gigs left! I ran disk cleanup, cleared my cache, and all of the whatnots, which brought me a grand total of 18.7 gigs.

DX Scripting & SysTray

SinTactics — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:04:54 -0400

Hey guys,

I downloaded DX 3.5 and realised it has no SysTray support. Has SD decided to make that in professional, did I download a bad version or do I need some kind of plugin? (I'm 13, I can't persuade parents to buy OD)

Also, I'm kind of new to scripting. I was wondering if anyone could help me with abit of scripting. I currently need a script which delays until it goes on to the next step. I am trying to make a Vista-Like Start Menu where on default a clockis showing, but when you mous...

Ok, I can't get my image to show, (I can see it in "Edit" mode) so...

I have some unallocated space on a disk which has 2 partitions, G: and H: I want to add the extra space to H:

I have tried using the "Extend" function, but apparently Vista Home Premium does not support dynamic disks and will not allow me to Extend H:

Does anyone know how I can add the extra space onto H:?

Disk Error Checking

VistArtXPosed — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:09:43 -0400

As part of my routine maintenance, I perform tasks such as Disk Defragmenting, Registry Error checking, and Disk Error Checking. But what I HATE about Vista's error checking is that there is no screen when it performs the scan. After the startup screen, it stayed on a black screen for more than 15 minutes, and I couldn't wait any longer. The Hard Drive light was on, but i'm the kind of person who doesn't like waiting. But more importantly, is it even doing anything?

Once you start the sca...

"Cyber"-security folks ain't cheap!

greywar — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:00:34 -0400

Everyone wants "cyber" security but who are you going to hire to provide it? How many people are actually technically qualified for what you need? How many can you possibly afford to hire?How many are willing to move to the locale where you need them?

The issues I have above apply to everyone who wants their IT infrastructure secured whether they are private businesses, public corporations, or a even government agency. The Government however has a ...

I an so sorry many of you are screwed by Bill Gates and hus precious Vista software. I have a new computer and was forced to have vista as my OS. I found out how quickly how shity the OS was and had to spend $300 plus the loss of my in service wanrranty in the process. All told, it costed me $600 when you add that I am void of a warranty now. With that being said, it was well worth it because I don't have to deal with that piece of crap anymore. The really shity thing about it all is the Bill Ga...
