The missus and I recently went to the theater and watched Pan's Labyrinth , the new film by Guillermo del Toro. I can't usually get her to watch foreign films that are not dubbed, but she was really interested in the trailer, and we both loved the movie. It's a dark fable about a little girl who discovers a window to a world of magic and fey creatures
I just upgraded (?) to IE 7 at work. We use all Dell computers because it's a state contract, but I found this tip that turned out to be rather useful at the attached link on IE 7 and HP/Compaq machines (by some weird coincidence, I have a Compaq as personal desktop at home). When I completed the upgrade, restarted, and opened an Explorer window, I found that my menus were nowhere to be found. There's an easy fix for this, but the fix listed on the website is only temporary. You have to go up t
Zoomba, This was a good, informative series of articles. Personally, I don't understand why MS went from a two- to a five-tier system of pricing and features for the new OS. This seems like serious overkill and I can't see any reason for it other than that they just felt like they didn't make enough money from the old system. A Home Premium upgrade seems to make the most sense from my current XP MCE setup, as it is comparable both in price and features to what I shelled out fo
Personally, I think this is Microsoft's overkill reaction to OS piracy. It can be a huge pain to deal with their software--far more than it should be. I bought an upgrade WinXP Pro package from my local university bookstore a few years ago and attempted to install it on my machine running (a legal copy of) Windows 98 (machine exceeded WinXP specs); after attempting to install it on my own several times, I brought the machine and the XP to a local computer dealer, had him upgrade the mobo and RAM
BX: No, I hadn't. I take it you're suggesting that the blue circle allows you to scroll down the list of items? I'm not running Aquarium Desktop at the moment, but if that is the trick, thanks!
Hi, I recently purchased AD2007 and the accompanying suite. Everything seems to work great, except that when I attempt to add or remove elements in AD, the dialog box is too small or the font size is too large. If you exceed a certain number of elements, when you open the dialog box to remove one or more, several of the elements will not be visible and the dialog box has no scroll bars. Could anyone tell me if I've configured something incorrectly or whether this is an "undocumented feature"

Nice synopsis. Hey, I have a question: on the third screenshot after the Object Desktop 2007 heading, where can I download that wallpaper? Thanks, Brian
Okay, Bichur, I'll take a screenshot. Thanks! -W
Hi all, I wanted to ask this question before I uploaded something and got flamed for it. I'm not sure what the protocols are on this, so here's my question: I have a DesktopX theme that I cobbled together from a bunch of disparate items I downloaded from the site. I think the items really go well together. But I don't want to upload it and have someone think that I'm stealing their work. If I uploaded it, I would give credit to all the people whose items actually comprise the theme. The
I concur with the House of Slytherin pick. My wife and mom are huge fans of the Harry Potter series (and my wife and I love snakes to boot!); this skin is well-crafted, with nice animation effects and colors that are quite legible. I'm using it on my computer at work and at home right now.
