It's fences.exe /trimlog that's doing it. I don't know why. If I leave it alone it will spike for 10 or 15 minutes and then calm down and then strike again within 40. Makes no sense to me.
Hi, I'm not sure why this is happening as it's a new thing and I've been using Fences for years without an issue. Anyone else run across this? Any help/advice would be most appreciated. XP SP3, 3 gb ram.
[quote who="mickeko" reply="22" id="2103340"] Quoting Destroy All Monsters, reply 20 People are sick of being treated like criminals *even and especially when they have already purchased the game*. Then don't be a criminal... It's not harder than that. NOT buying a game you can't try first makes a whole lot of more sense and sends a way clearer signal to the publishers that something is wrong than trying it by pirating it and THEN buy it
OMG this is sweet! I'm a total STOS fan and this rocks my socks.
Looks like a great place to work! Nice building, cubicles. The monitor-tasticness of it is awesome.

[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="20" id="2084487"] IE7 is not a necessary part of the operating system and is not - despite your claims - part of an initial install (depending upon the disc you received and its manufacturing date and which if any service pack is included - mine with sp2 did not) Except IE7 is a necessary part of the OS. [/quote] No disrespect Ron but it isn't. Nor is it even included on most Windows XP install discs. You
[quote who="DrAsik" reply="3" id="2083161"] Quoting Destroy All Monsters, reply 10 To me it's just one more piece of software to manage that I'd rather not - whereas if Impulse were a standalone app or based on something other than IE I wouldn't have to. There is NO SUCH THING as a stand-alone application. Applications are, by definition, software running on a software platform, such as an operating system. End-user applications such as games are not
[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="6" id="2082242"] Or that _everyone_ that doesn't use Windows Update is a pirate or using an illegal version of Windows? It's either that, or they're a complete idiot.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="2082233"] But you show me 100 techies who don't have IE7 installed and I would be surprised if a significant % of it aren't running IE7 because
[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="22" id="2081626"] I don't know the details, I'm just repeating what I was told. [/quote] Fair enough. If you've got linkage though I'm happy to read more about this.
[quote who="Craig Fraser" reply="21" id="2081600"] Folks that have a general knowledge of computing typically just don't use IE, novices tend to use it though. Is that so? [/quote] That's been my experience. Given the uptake of firefox downloads/marketshare in the last couple years I think that backs up what I said fairly well. If I inadvertently insulted you then my apologies.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="23" id="2081739"] I don't have Firefox. I use Google Chrome. Of course, I have IE7 on my XP boxes since my XP box isn't a pirated version of Windows and it got installed automatically through Windows updates something like a million years ago. But I do agree, for the guy who pirates Windows and thus has to turn off Windows updates which also means not having the various security features installed either then Impulse, which assumes these thin
Actually there are programs that use Firefox. At least two of which are media players. I can't think of anyone that actually uses IE for anything and I think that the commentary Brad made about his 73 year old aunt amply illustrates that there are several types of people that use Impulse. Folks that have a general knowledge of computing typically just don't use IE, novices tend to use it though. However since there is a certain percentage of a "captive audience" there I can understand us
I'm not thrilled with having to use anything based off of Internet Explorer either. The only things I use that uses IE are Impulse and Crosus. I do think that using, say utorrent, is in some ways easier than Impulse (e.g. it doesn't require using and updating an application that many people don't otherwise use). Given that IE isn't on Linux and apparently the old setup was makes it seem that to get the largest group of users perhaps Firefox would be a better bet to base Impulse
