    Easy Question for those who use Firefox

    Hey, is there any way to change the IE icon set (or theme) in Windows XP to make IE look like the way it does when it's running on a Win2k machine? ie, without the fruity green back and forward buttons, etc. I would like to do this on a few WinXP machines so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Did SP2 fix this annoying IE bug?

    I use FireFox, but once in a while I have to use IE. One of the most annoying things about it is that damn window resize bug, when hitting File -> New Window will bring up a window that is not maximized but is instead some wierd size and at some random place on the screen. Same thing occurs when...

    Internet Explorer Theme for Firefox/Mozilla

    Yes, I've already Googled for such a theme but haven't found anything other than a seemingly outdated IE 5.5 theme for Mozilla. I frequently read about people installing Firefox on someone's PC, then using an IE theme for it which makes the person using it unaware that they are in fact using...

    So, I just upgraded to FireFox from FireBird, but can't import my IE favorites into FireFox. Anyone know what's up? I have a pretty complicated Links bar setup in IE with a TON of links, and don't want to have to manually recreate these links in FireFox in order to get them into my links...

    How do I (or should I) kill off Word XP?

    When I bought my Dell Inspiron Laptop, it shipped with the latest version of Microsoft Works, which includes Microsoft Word XP. Though word XP is just fine for writing papers and the like, it is somewhat of a screwy version because any template or wizard I want to use runs through this Microsoft...

    Ok, so I have a final coming up that covers all of Calc I and the first half of Calc II.

    Anyone here download anything through Anti-Leech

    My friend was at a site that's hosting mp3s from up and coming artists but the thing is, to DL an mp3 you've gotta go through an "AntiLeech.com" Java applet that gains access to your hard drive. I know this could be potentially insane but it seems pretty safe so does anyone have any experience...

    Anyone else fed up with Dell Insp. 8200? (rant..sort of)

    Ok, so I got my Dell Inspiron 8200 back in August and thought it was the coolest system ever. Right after I got it though, I ran into trouble with the BSOD in XP due to a faulty Nvidia nv_disp.dll problem. So i upgrade video drivers like everyone else to try to fix the problem, apparently it...

    Will undermultiplying on the KT133A boards always work?

    In Anand's review of the KT133A, he took a 1ghz chip and changed the multiplier so that it would run 7.5*133 @ 1GHz. My question is.. will this always work on the KT133A's when the original tbirds were designed with the 100mhz fsb in mind? I'm asking because i'm eyeing the MSI K7T Turbo.
