NIM

When I first read the title of ur post I thought, omg wtf As far as I remember I read somewhere that it could be out along with Vista..but that's impossible IMHO I think that Vista is far more important that XP SP3

Well, to be honest I know, 'cause MSFN founder is my friend It wasn't easy, the most important thing is to have several good posters who'd be active and would be a big help and support for all new forum users.

Nice post cygnus.. First of all, meaning of this forum is just as you said to help each other. It's very hard to enchain people to a new forum when there isn't much posts which could be useful to others. That's way I started with tutorials, tips and tricks threads which could help us draw some attention. In time I will put google ads and hope that with those funds I'll be able to cover site and board expenses. Until then, I have a lot of posting to do

I have changed the whole forum skin instead, takes less time and it looks better

This guide will show how to launch an application with Administrative rights under a limited user account. This is very useful for people who want to use Limited User accounts but have some apps/games that do not work native in this environment. All you need is AutoIT (free) and the following code. Create a txt file and put this (make changes as necessary) inside: CODE ; Set the RunAs parameters to use local adminstrator account ; Run program as admin ; Reset user's permissions RunAsSet("username", "computername", "password") RunWait("C:\Program Files\Path\To.exe") RunAsSet() rename this file runas.au3 Now were just going to compile this as an exe so others cannot get the administrator password. Run Aut2Exe For Source choose the au3 file you just created. For Destiniation choose a name for the exe to be created. (Optional) Choose an Icon for the exe. Uncheck decompilation Finish by hitting Convert to create the exe! Easy Right!? The Secondary Logon service must be running! You can always manually run/(un)install programs while a Limited User by right clicking on a file and selecting runas. The administrator account needs to have a password for this to work. You can extract the icon from any file using XN Resource Editor (free/standalone). [TWEAK] Hide the Administrator Account on the XP Logon Screen. You can logon as Administrator by switching to the classic logon by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del twice at the xp logon screen. CODE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]"Administrator"=dword:00000000

LOL wow vs gw , nice video Click

As expected, Intel is dominating I wonder what answer AMD will have to offer, it seems that AMD has cut down it's processor prices and probably already working on the processor which would put Intel on it's knees :lol:

Pictures are irrelevant here mate, great tut !!

One has been a star for some time now, while the other is rising to stardom. The AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 and the Intel Core 2 Extreme are ready to duke it out for honors as the fastest of all x86 systems. Let's get on with our contest, and pitch the old champion against a new one. In this battle, performance is the only thing that counts. We'll explore the upper bounds of thermal stability for both of these top-of-the-line CPUs with standard retail components, the Intel versions of which have just hit store shelves. This occurred on July 24, the very same day that AMD introduced massive price cuts. Some of the tests: Performance comparison between both overclocked systems: the fastest x86 processors available in today's marketplace. ----------------------- Full tuning test can be found on Tom's Hardware Site

When you're through with this tutorial you'll have a picture like this: First we will create a document in pixels: 400x200. Type the text what you want on the doc, i used the font Arial for this, once you have done this, Duplicate the text layer (CTRL+J) and then CTRL+T to resize it and make it just abit bigger than the first layer and put it below the first text layer. You should have this: Select the first layer and do these blending effects: You should now have something like this: Go back to the other layer which is underneath the first layer and set the Opacity to 30. Repeat the same blending options as the first layer which are: Finally, you should get this:
