Reply to My badge disappeared! in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Well, at least we can chuckle over this.. T-Man, I don't know if this was just coincidental or not, but my badge disappeared when my download count reached 1100...maybe there is a glitch with the numbering???? Karen, thanks for the offer, but you need to keep y

Reply to My badge disappeared! in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

It has been on my personal site, but it is missing from all the comments I have made on various skins. It was there yesterday morning, but has been missing from the comments since last PM. I just checked again on a few skins i commented on, and there is no badge next to my name. This is really weird!

My badge disappeared! in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

My badge for over 1000 downloads dissppeared yesterday, and is still missing! Does anyone know why this happened? My profile shows that I do have the badge, but I can't see it on any of my comments on various skins...it was there yesterday morning, then, when I came on last PM it was gone from all my posts!

Reply to RAR vs. Winzip in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Thanks, everyone for the suggestions. I downloaded winrar, installed it...and, it behaved itself!

Reply to RAR vs. Winzip in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Thanks, for all your suggestions. I remember downloading it a year or so ago, and it wanted to take control over all of my compressed files! Hoepfully, it won't this time.

RAR vs. Winzip in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Hi all, I found a rainmeter that I liked, and tried to download it...discovered it is a RAR file, not winzip. I only have winzip. Is there anyway I could change the extension to winzip? Barring that, does anyone know if there is a winzip version of it? The rainmeter in question is SJOGRO Rocks. Running Windows XP SP2 Thanks for any help! MJ

Reply to Can't access my site in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Hi guys! I left for work right after I made that post. When I just signed on, voila! my site re-appeared! I also was getting a lot of time outs on the site then too....seems the gremlins got run out of here for now...

Can't access my site in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

For some strange reason, I cannot access my site, except my profile page. Cannot access my skins, gallery, home page, activities, stats, articles, etc. And, on the profile page, cannot access any of the pages there either. I am able to access other people's sites, however. (I am signed in).

Okay, I just checked...my skins are back!

Reply to Ad-Aware SE 1.06 available.... in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have been using AdAware, Spybot, and Spyware Blaster for years, and thought all was well. They picked up all the nasty stuff and got rid of it. When MS Anti-spyware came out, I tried it. I first did scans with the other 3 apps, and supposedly everything was clean. Then MS picked up a couple of nasties the others missed! So, now, I am using it along with just AdAware and Spybot. I ditched Spyware Blaster because the latest version was buggy and

Jafo, my skins are still missing....I thought maybe I messed something up by adding updates to the SS I uploaded yesterday. I will try and be patient and wait and see if this corrects itself.

Fairyy...Glad to know it is just not me! Snowman....thanks, I had already checked the gallery...and the skins are there.

Personal Site is messed up...no skin listings in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Ever since I updated (added links to the walls) the 3 screenshots I uploaded yesterday, the link to "My Skins" at the top of the page, says that I have no skins to display. All of my skins are in my gallery, though. Here is what it says: This page is currenly displaying jazzymjr's skin submissions. There are no items to display at this time.

Reply to Wireless router? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I agree with Crissy regarding SP2's built in firewall. I use that in conjunction with my hardware firewall enabled on my router. For anti-spyware protection, I use AdAware, Spybot, and Microsoft's Antispyware software. I am still using McAfee Anti-Virus software But, when my subscription is up, I am switching to AVG....I use that on the computer at my retail store, and it is awesome!

Reply to Wireless router? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

You're welcome!

Reply to Wireless router? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have a wireless network set up. I run anti-virus software on all three of the computers, as well as anti-spyware. My router has a firewall built into it, but I still use a software firewall too...Microsoft's. You need to have all computers on your network protected..the router only enables you share an internet connection...it does nothing to protect you from viruses and spyware.

Bichur, Oh, I didn't know that! Okay, I will try that. Thanks!

Reply to Forum Issue in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Never mind....now, it works!

Reply to Icons on Desktop in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Bichur and Fairyy, Thanks for your input. I was without internet access last evening, and just got it fixed a little bit ago. So, I did some reading with the documentation I had downloaded earlier and discovered I had to do that through DesktopX. DesktopX eats a lot of resources on my computer, so I will just use the IP theme icons like I have done in the past.

Reply to Icons on Desktop in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Fairyy, Sorry, I didn't see you're additional post. I was wondering if I could do it in IP. But, they would have to be the same size as in the IP theme, right? I was wanting to put the big ones on the desktop. My recycle bin is in my sidebar, so that is not an issue...I just want to do the other three. Thanks for helping me with this. MJ

Reply to Icons on Desktop in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Corky, Thanks for the info. I think I will just stick to the icons that come with the IP theme...sounds like too much of a hassle. I would have to shrink the icons down that I want to use, and then there would be no point in doing it. The icons I wanted to use are 128 x 128. Thank you for taking the time to answer me. MJ

Reply to Icons on Desktop in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Fairyy, The icons I am referring to are My Computer, Network Places, and Internet Explorer..they really aren't icons...they are hard-wired...lol. Anyway, they have no option to change an icon. I guess I was referring to the large icons.
