Look at my first picture. This is one that shows problems reading the right hand panel of the start menu.   [URL=http://s1256.photobucket.com/user/bmetelsky/media/screenie1.jpg.html] [/URL]   In the second picture, you see the same set up, but it looks perfect, I am thinking because of the darkness of the wallpaper behind it.   [URL=http://s1256.photobucket.com/user/bmetelsky/media/screenie2.jpg.html] [/URL]   I am going crazy trying to fix this.

Has anyone been successful in disabling the splash screen in Outlook 2003? I thought there was a registry tweak but when googling only come up with tips for disabling the splash screen in Outlook Express. Thanks in advance.

I have installed Windows Live Messenger on VistaRC1. I started playing around with the different customization settings (background, themepacks, etc) and am left with a fairly ugly looking thing.

Well, I finally did it! After being tied down by the AllTel phone company monopoly in Elyria, Ohio for the past 10 years, I started a plan to rid our household of their service.Where I live, because of the zones that AllTel has set up, almost everything is considered long distance. I have a small family with "less than average" telephone useage (in my estimation) and a telephone bill that has been rarely below $80.00 per month. Unfortunately, in Elyria, there is only AllTel as the local phone...

I like to have the weather conditions and forecasts close at hand. My wife likes to use the program that accesses the weather channel but I find it has far too many ads and is just generally unattractive.

The visual information is pretty basic but is all I need - it lists current weather conditions in my area and gives a forecast for each day of the upcoming week. You can use transparency so that it becomes part of your desktop. It h...
