If you are using Norton AntiVirus or possibly any other AV, I know a while back there was an update that was causing a reboot after restarting the computer and it was a continuous loop, the fix had something to do with changing the timing of your startup programs, apparently the antivirus and something else were trying to load immediately on boot up, and right about the time you got into a windows screen the PC would reboot continuously. Just a thought, since many Antivirus programs autoupdate when you are online. Usually a small proggie like the Tailor wouldn't cause a reboot on its own, but could possibly have replaced a file with its own version. Best bet would still be to contact Code Twister since its his baby, he knows it better than the rest of us educated speculators.

this is what Adobe lists as the differences, Photoshop has these, elements doesn't

Advanced Web features (slicing, rollovers, etc.)
Professional-level printing (CMYK separations)
Channel editing
Improved precision

actually Ron, Ctrl-Alt-Delete hasn't restarted a windows PC since the DOS days. He just brought up the Task Manager, now ctrl-alt-del twice, well thats a different story

It's not the rsr's themselves, but the file association in windows. For example which program opens when you click on a file of that type. There isn't an association for rsr's normally, because clicking on an rsr normally generates the "which program do you wish to open file with" box. The problem is DreamstoGo associated them with wordpad and needs to reset it back to the normal default wavy windows flag. Like when you click on a .doc file, microsoft word opens up, with an rsr there is no program registered because they aren't meant to be used except internally in poser.

delete rsr from the known file types under folder options, if it is listed. Windows then doesn't know the file type and would then prompt you the next time you clicked on an rsr. As far as I know it shouldn't have any association under windows because its not a file windows needs to be opening. zerowolf

Umm...thanks?? I think you need a vacation, a loooong vaction.

food for thought...If 90% of computer users used say, Eudora or pegasus instead, wouldn't "virus writers" just start writing for those programs and utilizing their flaws? Just a thought... zerowolf

Hogwarden, I understand what you are saying, but it isn't an assumption on NT's part. It is to keep 2 users from updating the same exact file and then overwriting with 2 different versions. Same thing used to happen on my net at work with AutoCAD maps. One person would query a map into the map they were working on, and leave it open in the background, another drafter would need to make changes, ignore a this file can only be opened as read only. It is pretty much an industry standard, if you were to work on the copy in memory, but the actual file on the HDD was available for change then someone else could make changes and save it, then when user 1 saves, the changes made by User 2 would be lost! It doesn't matter, I was just trying to point out a different avenue of thought from personal experience. But anyway good luck with your proggie sounds useful. Zerowolf

Hogwarden, what I meant is that when a file is physically opened, it (NT,2000,XP)won't normally let you modify the file in another program. So while a Mike CR2 is open then the OS will not allow you to rename the folder it resides in, this shouldn't affect other folders though only the folder that the CR2 is in. I didn't mean that poser leaves a file open after its closed, just while the file is in use i.e. loaded into memory. zerowolf

XP is built on a windows NT core, a network OS, it this a basic security/sharing measure built into the os. Poser has files open in the folder and thats why it won't rename most likely. Try a simple experiment 1.copy a picture into a newfolder on your desktop, then open the photo 2. while the photo is open in photoshop or whatever, try to rename the folder it is in, and it won't let you. This is a basic function of the network OS to keep 2 seperate users on a network with acess to the share from updating the same file at the same time, one can read the file while one works on it. It also is part of what gives NT based OS's more stability than 95/98/ME. I don't believe there is or should be a way to circumvent it, as it would undermine the stability of the OS itself. Just my two cents, I'm not a programmer or anything, just a network admin.

actually, my mistake, its version 4.56-6 or the beta 4.57-2, the driver on the above link is older, probably the first official ME release. ZW

this is probably a silly question, but are you using the driver release for windows ME (driver version 4.55-R3)located at http://www.wacom.com/productsupport/me.html just a thought, its listed separately on the left banner of the support page below all the FAQ's. ZW

Hey y'all Here's the short and simple as I remember it(god I say that alot lately, must be gettin' old!) There are only actually 3 or 4 makers of CD drives whether plain vanilla CDs,CDRs,orCDRW. The rest are just liscensed for sale with another companies logo. I know that Yamaha is one and Plextor is one, they are also usually the top rated. If you can wait awhile or don't need blazing speed stick with the 12X speed the 16X are little quirky and don't quite live up to expectation. And even though IDE are great if you can get SCSI go for it, alot even include the SCSI card and I know firsthand that SCSI makes less "coasters"(I have an IDE HP and a, now defunct Smart and Friendly SCSI). Oh and the drive should have at least 2MB of buffer memory(pretty much thats standard). As far as the media, thats dependant on the drive, buy a drive and ask on there help forum or call tech support and ask what brand of disc works best, but regardless buy in bulk, they are much cheaper. Hope this helps. ZW

hey Leggs, if you're curious its under the innocent heading of "Member Wagner banned", in C&D forum. You know like all the other "member (insert member name) banned" threads that we normally have, but this one is special, it wasn't for warez, it was for attempting to hack 'rosity, and supposedly he/she was an admin at 'rotica.
