  1. Holy threadbump. I like Segoe UI and Candara as general computer usage fonts. Cambria for on-screen reading, i.e. paginated walls of text. Consolas as monospace. Adobe Garamond Pro for documents that need to be printed - it is a good looking typeface, but too slender for reading on screens.
  2. Try Tools > Internet Options > Advanced (Tab) > Reset.
  3. I find this somewhat difficult to believe, but hey, make sure to hide it well from Apple's lawyers.
  4. Download Nostalgic screensaver and the OS X wallpapers, slap them into the appropriate folders, and then point Nostalgic at them.
  5. This program isn't usable for me. Indexing the Start Menu was fine, but after I added Documents and told it to index a variety of stuff like word documents, excel spreadsheets, music, text files, and images, processor usage went to 100% instantly and it took 3 minutes to launch Task Manager and kill it.
  6. I get this error as well, both on saving icon position and quitting.

  7. It was failing because I had disabled my floppy drive (A:). Re-enabling the drive seems to fix it.
  8. Agh, tried with updated and edited instructions. The program still dies when I try and apply preference changes.
  9. I get death as well. Installed twice, both times without DM running - first time, overwrote all files in the original folder. Second time, deleted all files in the folder first, before copying in the new versions. Appears when I try and change preferences.

  10. I actually saw a one-off where DiscMounter placed a shortcut to C: in my C: drive. I deleted the shortcut and it seems have gone for good.
  11. I think this might be a bit of a challenge in Windows, especially since the implementation relies on making shortcuts on the desktop, but is there any way that we could specify the position (left/right/bottom aligned) the icons appear?
  12. Lets see, if you compress system files, don't they need to be uncompressed to be useful to the system? You aren't really saving system resources so much as hard disk space, and in return, you pay for it with a slightly slower system overall. I hate it when I get handed a computer on which nothing will function correctly because the owner "ran some stuff to make it faster". Especially when I ask them what the software did, and they can't tell me anything more specific than "it tweaks things to make them run faster". Just...don't do it unless you know exactly what it is doing, and exactly why you *need* to do it.
  13. Do you have it set to temporarily disable shadows when moving or resizing windows?
