For some people updating nVidia drivers fixes the problem. Don't know if that's relevant to you.

This 'problem' is one of those things that doesn't really matter but annoys the heck out of one nonetheless.

OK - since this is DonationCoder, how about ridiculously obsolete computer languages that you spent time learning but will never use again? For me:
Rexx - scripting language for IBM mainframes and OS/2
-CWuestefeld (October 22, 2008, 10:12 AM)

Hey!  I resemble that remark!  I use Rexx daily on XP, currently this variant (ooRexx).

On my first try I was in a hurry and had no luck.

I thought I'd say here what I did wrong, in case anyone else stumbles in the same manner.

I selected text and held down the mouse button -- 'C' appeared and text was copied fine.
I moved to a different application and held down the mouse button -- 'P' appeared, nothing was pasted,  'P' vanished -- no text inserted.

What I didn't realize is that I should release the mouse button while 'P' is visible, not just wait with the button held down.

Having confirmed to the world that I have trouble with 'Dick and Jane' I still hope that this might help someone else.
I aspire to be a moron some day but it won't be soon.

there's a name for that mix .. cant remember it though
-Tomos
Oh, when I ordered a snakebite at some pub here in �rhus some months ago, the Strongbow cider wasn't mixed with Guinness (which would've been nice, I bet) but with something blackcurrant-ish.
-f0dder

Black satin.
Some used to refer to it as Black Velvet, which is really G & champagne.
Good luck finding champagne in some of my old haunts, or Guinness in others, depending on which part of town  :)

by sticking a hot poker from the fire into your glass of wine and throw in a couple of spices - but that could be a myth of course

Yes... I thought it a bit gratuitous as well, particularly considering his return was being touted (in the preceding paragraph) as signalling his re-committment to helping his loyal readers! Funny, too, Brian Livingston's take on the four stops Langa made during his motorcycle trip:
-Darwin

Whether from Langa or WS, it came under my general heading of "Too Much Information".  :)

The entire WS approach now seems to be we'll do you a favour... for a buck or three. At least they're up front about it.

I'm not quite sure if I abhor or admire the relentless self-promotion in which WS indulges.
For myself, I'm grateful that I don't need to resort to such an approach in order to earn a dollar here and there.

-tomos (October 09, 2008, 10:02 AM)

To be fair to WS, he did write about it himself in one of his blogs (goodness only knows why).
Perhaps he thinks of his readers as friends, some certainly seem to think that way about him.

You could try this one:

Also, if you played with this, I think you might tune it to do what you want:
Process Monitor

Good luck!

That'll improve performance somewhat  :)
