Well, I have taken my new Vista into use, and so far it is even worse than I feared :-(-Curt (November 21, 2008, 06:10 PM)

It was a little hard to find, but that may be due to the oddness of the Siemens/Toshiba Recovery which I refused to use, but when first I clicked Recover To Previous Setup, or what it may be called in English, there was no problem at all. All the programs are there, except for the sinner, and all of my documents are safe~saved. 
... So I was wondering if there was a way to tell if I had installed a program and then after a trial period, uninstalled it. ...-techidave (November 28, 2008, 07:54 AM)

Have you ever used your discount, though, Curt? It's far cheaper to wait for them to offer you a deal (like the Core Tuner one that I mentioned) as you can't actually use your Yiggles on already discounted applications and the discounts are usually greater than 60% (let alone the 40% to which you and I are entitled)[/off-topic]
Ashampoo keeps trying to sell me "Ashampoo Core Tuner" for $9.95. From what little I can glean from the internet, this type of application is snakeoil, no?-Darwin (November 28, 2008, 11:41 AM)
You can set the “priority” in five levels to adjust the amount of processor power each program gets. You can also specify how many processor cores each program gets to use.
I'd given up on PSTray Factory and Vista (version 2.5 installs fine but does nothing)-Darwin (September 17, 2008, 03:56 PM)

If you buy an upgrade to Direct Access 2.0 by the 5th December 2008, we are happy to extend your upgrade subscription to the 31st December 2009 (instead of the standard 12 months). With upgrade protection you will get Direct Access 2.0 and all the future versions released in a year. And of course, Direct Access is yours to keep: you will be able to continue using the version you got during your subscription period after it has expired.-Anrea Nagar
Direct Access 2.0 BETA (v.1.9.9.6) contains a number of fixes (thanks everybody for reporting them in the forum) and a new major feature: the ability to define separator characters (like punctuation marks, space, tabs) that define the end of an abbreviation. This will make the autocorrect work similarly to how it works in Microsoft Word. You type a misspelled word and it's automatically corrected after you press space or any separator character you define. This works when you define your abbreviation to work with no confirmation.
To see some screenshots, point your browser to http://www.nagarsoft...om/directaccess/beta
You can download the latest beta connecting to http://www.nagarsoft...ccess/beta-download/
You can find a list of changes in the beta forum at http://www.nagarsoft.com/forum (you need to register to read and post comments).

By default, Firefox allows the setting of multiple homepages separated by the pipe or vertical bar character "|" (Note: it appears as a broken bar "¦" on many keyboards).
Now this works fine for opening multiple tabs every time the browser is started or the home button is clicked; however, it can slow down the browser startup.-Homepage Randomizer
