Yes you can Install Windows7 without harming Vista and yes to the dual doot question, works great. Watch that windows7 doesn't unactivate Vista tho, but reentering your product key will sort that problem for you. Regards, Peter

I'd like to add my prayers here too, yet another sad, sad day for all who live in these "troubled" times. May the victims of this atrocity find peace in death, and peace of mind at some point in the future whilst living. God Bless you all. My thoughts are with you. Peter

If I remember correctly, weren't x64 incompatible apps being discarded from OD 2009, and if so, is this planned for the future or should it have already happened ? Thanks for any info you have on this subject. Rock on StarDock. Regards, Peter

Gloss Burgandy & Halloween '08 snafu in MyColors WinCustomize Forums

I'm hoping someone will read this post and be able to help with with a minor hiccup with the above Subscriber/ODNT Subscriber themes (can't remember which is ODNT and which is WC). All my other Mycolors Themes (Diamond, Quest, Think Green etc) have all installed correctly for me WITHOUT Mycolors being installed, however, the 2 themes mentioned in the title steadfastly refuse to install, and I don't want to install MyColors just for them. I'm on Vista Ultimate x64 on this box and am a

Reply to turn fences on/off? vote now! in Fences Beta WinCustomize Forums

Have to agree with JMB, I don't really see the point of an on/off feature but I can also see it's usefullness for some ppl as evidenced by Zubaz' Post above, so as option it would be useful for some. I've been testing for about a week now on my Vista x64 box and absolutely love Fences, no problems to report and will let you have feedback when I install it on my x32 Box tomorrow. Many thanks for a fine App, and the chance to test it. Regards, Peter

Reply to Vista-64 rocks in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Here's my twopennies worth on the subject... I've been using 64bit since MS released XP Professional x64 and was lucky enough to beta-test Vista from Beta2 though to release and I, for one, wouldn't dream of going back to a 32bit OS, (seems a bit like buying a ZX Spectrum and hoping it'll run the new generation of apps and games), sure, Vista in both x32 and x64 got some deserved bad press from a premature release, but Vista now bears no resemblance (under the bonnet) to the "ugly stick" that
