    using active desktop backgrounds?

    my kids love the variety in the win me active desktop selections. I don't like them to use active desktop as it seems to create problems. is there a way to convert the active desktop background file to a simple bmp or such file that could then be used the old fashioned way? tia, mike

    Problems .. KT7A, 1200C .. No post

    Enlight EN-72370X3.. Any good?

    jadinolf, realize it's too late but just fyi...i've got to say the antec performance series of cases (sx830, sx1030) are excellent. they're more in the $80 range but reviews suggest it's worth it. the 300w power supplies are aces (i've got a kt7a raid, 3 hd's, cdrom, cdrw, jaz, zip & floppy...

    Athlon retail box vs OEM

    Topo, i've built 5 systems now (the last four are athlons). I've used Monarch Computers (www.monarchcomputers.com) for the cpu/mobo/hsf. IMHO they offer a good price and they give you a 3 year warranty on the cpu! The cpu/mobo/hsf comes shipped to you pretested (cpu/hsf already mounted). mike

    KT7 RAID COMBO

    I got it! I love it! Great components, prompt service. Knowledgeable people (two calls, NO WAIT!). TaiSol sink/fan is a plus (quiet, good performance....Anand has it in review).
