Reply to Smiley function not functioning in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Using ff 1.5.0.4 the animations are fine and are working as they do with IE 6.0 and 7.0,have'nt tried opera or netscape yet,the quote function is of no use so cheers ^^^starkers^^^ for how to do,i'm curious to know why in other forums the smileys and cliking on quote work there and not here. if the animations are'nt working and apart from having multimedia enabled in IE and then you install ff and imported would any of these make a diff,unless it's just here that anim's don't work<br/

smedley i would assume if the smileys are'nt animated in your browser then you need to tick "show animations in web pages" in your windows "internet options" clik on "advanced" tab and tick the box "show animations in web pages" under multimedia ?? if that don't work then i'm buggered as to what needs to be done apart from giving me that comp and buy a new one

Reply to Help please; Taskbar is frozen! Please assist if possible in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

This may help stop objectdock at startup,ccleaner has a button clik on "tools" then clik "startup" that shows what will start with windows,you can use it to delete the objectdock start key,by rights it should disable it from starting and hopefully will unfreeze taskbar,i'm pretty sure the pro version was installed over the free version and that's what's causing it,so long as you delete all of objectdock from your comp things should be fine to start again,anyway just keep plugging away at it yo

Reply to Help please; Taskbar is frozen! Please assist if possible in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

I've been in the same situation but i'm not sure if what i'm about to suggest is how i fixed it,it's caused by installing objectdock over itself??,strangely if you run your mouse near the top middle of the taskbar,but not on it and clik, it may reveal a dock there if so try to bring up the config by right cliking and move the dock to the top and deactivate the bottom positioning ??,if that does'nt work download ccleaner and install,then as before delete OD,once done go into program files and de

Wow i can't get cxp to go above 10% cpu usage even when running other progs and having the cursor animated and lets face it as software goes it's not exactly a huge app,a couple of things i can think of is close unnecessary processes and also configure your comps to provide more cpu and memory to running apps rather than background processes

to find the folder you first need to go to "my computer" then clik open,(you may need to unhide,look at left for "unhide contents" WARNING DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING OR ADJUST THE WINDOWS FOLDER there should be a folder called "program files" open it and scroll thru till you find either "stardock" and open it and look for the OD folder or look for the objectdock folder if there is no stardock folder,once open you should recognise some of the folders =Images,docklets,url,themes

Reply to Help!! IM STUCK!! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Before you can install any skins you first need the software that deploys it,so if you downloaded a blind you will need the windowblinds software to apply it after opening the file if your like me and prefer to save to disk.It's cheaper to buy objectdesktop-(OD) rather than windowblinds=(wb) by itself as OD includes ip,wb as well as the tools to make your own icons and blinds and suites

Running spybot by itself won't be enough without the other two,you also need to know what software you have installed on your system, and whether it incorporates stuff that will install more spyware on your system after cleaning like free screensavers etc,then there are trojans if your antivirus and firewall were'nt kept upto date.

Chances are you have progs like kazzaa etc installed if so the best advice i can give is reformat and start again,any software you want to install must come from trusted sites such as CNet,there are also articles at cnet on combatting spyware and free lessons EDIT: Also what smedley said for a free two way firewall and you must have one activated before re-connecting to the net after a reformat,and go directly to microsoft update before anywhere else

You think is'nt good enough, install Adaware by lavasoft ,spybot-S&D ,Windows defender-which has real time scanning,update them all then rescan if nothing is uncovered you should be fine

After the scan process re-enable system restore,also if you need to save space later you can let windows delete all but the most recent restore point- disk cleanup-clik on "more options" tab,at the bottom of the little window look for "system restore" clean up, quick way to find disk clean up is right clik on c drive and then clik on properties,let the clean up scan then the window will appear where the more options tab is

Avast V4.0 Home edition is free for personal use for antivirus Regarding spyware or trojans ,you will find that you would be better turning off system restore then booting into safe mode as the scanners won't be able to remove any of them out of the restore folder coz if you use syst rest to go back to a previous state you may reinstall the offending ware.
