Nothing strange really. The DirectX 7 interfaces are still in there 'cause otherwise any program written for DX7 would no longer work once DX8 was installed.

how do i change the theme in the logon screen?
Xiven replied to bottleneck's topic in Customization & Tweaking
msgina.dll is the file containing the old-style logon images. copy the file to msgina2.dll or something, edit it in your favourite resource hacking program and then add this line to your registry: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "GinaDll"="msgina2.dll" replacing msgina2.dll with whatever you named your new msgina.dll -
I don't use dreamweaver personally, though I know someone who uses Dreamweaver UltraDev, and I have to admit, it's pretty good for a WYSYWIG editor. It can generate reasonable HTML, and it even integrates fairly well with ASP (with databases and the like). Having said all that though, I'd never use it. I use UltraEdit for writing flat HTML and SHTML pages, and I use Visual Interdev for ASP and anything database related. I worked for a year as a Web Developer working on Web Applications on a company intranet and I had to fix a lot of trashy HTML pages while there which is probably why I so passionately hate MS FrontPage.

Quote: Ick, but then again I don't use embedded style sheets. I just link to external CSS files so I can control the look of the site from one location. I don't use embedded style sheets either, it was just easier to provide a one-file example.

It runs under the "System" user. AFAIK there is no way of making it run under any other user account.

Please excuse the huge long post. Okay, following is an example of an HTML document created by FrontPage that is claimed to be an HTML 4 document.

There's a program that does this in the Win2k Resource Kit called Remapkey.exe Getting hold of it could be tricky if you don't have the Win2k resource kit though. There may be a freeware equivalent around too.

remove entrys from registry automatically
Xiven replied to fatattack's topic in Customization & Tweaking
To delete a registry key, put a minus sign in front of it in the .reg file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\ {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}] @="Scheduled Tasks" -
Isn't Easy CD Creator the one that burns only coasters if you give it an invalidated serial number? Not that I'm suggesting that anyone here is using an illegal copy or anything...

If you move it from the registry into your startup folder, it should load a lot later...

I assume you've got homeworld patched to the latest version?

If the only thing that's changed is the memory, try testing the memory to see if it's okay. Try testing it with memtest86

My only experiences with the Game Theater XP are bad. The control panel crashes occasionally, playback of mpegs results in major skipping unless the sound acceleration is turned down (and it has this nasty habit of turning it back up when you reboot) and EAX support is dodgy in some programs. The drivers have improved a lot since it first came out but it still needs much work. Audigy I can't comment on, but I've heard a few people say good things about it.

System specs please.

Disable "kind-of-file-detection" Feature?
Xiven replied to DarkLord81's topic in Customization & Tweaking
Okay, this might work: Go to Control Panel -> System, go to Advanced tab and click the Settings... button in the Performance section. Select Custom and then untick all that you don't want. One of these is "Use a background image for each folder type" and one is "Use common tasks in folders". Untick both of them and try it.
