Thanks for the tip Data. I do remember it was a driver signing issue, I'll try installing under later again tonight maybe if I have the time in windows 7 compatibility mode

My windows 8 desktop along with yod'm 3D which gives me 4 desktops for added real-estate.

Finally got G13 gaming pad installed :) I had to download installer from Logitech's website.

I need more desktops - mine gets so cluttered.  Very nice Syber  :thumbsup:

Data

Yes i like the idea of 4 desktops too, does sound like a bit of fun if nothing else, though I'm sure the extra space could come in handy.

Syber I went looking for the softwear and found DeskSpace 1.5.8.11 is that the same thing but a more modern version?

And well done getting that driver in for the G13  :thumbsup:

NO SPACE! How could I POSSIBLY fit 3 more desks in here?!?!?! :o

Freddy the best part about yood'm is you can have different programs running on each of the four desktops.

Example:
desktop 1) your website opened in 3-4 browsers
desktop 2) Notepad ++ and ftp client
desktop 3) your code library, and or a browser opened to a tutorial and or Google
desktop 4) your music player

I don't have a multiple monitor set-up so this comes in handy :D and enhances workflow  :thumbsup:

Yes Data, the company who originally made yod'm desktop sold it to that company. Yod'm was free before that company got it's hands on it. I believe you can still download yodm'm from that website If not let me know and I can send you a copy.

Dave I managed to get a desk in small cramped room I'm sure you can find a way  :P


Data

Thanks for the info Syber, I did try to install and run Yod'm but it refuses to run on my win 8, might have another go at it later.

Your welcome Data. If tat version is giving you troubles, I just uploaded the version I'm using...let me know if that works for ya.

My windows 8 got a nasty virus from a flv player, I had to re--install windows 8. what a pain, but could of been worse. Luckily it did not reach out to my other partitions.I guess the good news from this is that I now have a boot manager working.

trying to remember the name of the flv player, but cannot pull it out of my memory at this time, Sorry :(

Data

Windows defender didn't catch it then, Doh!

Thanks for the warning Syber.

sybershot

your welcome, still can't remember the name rrrr dang memory.

I got most priority programs re-installed, I was :o to see that windows remembered my history and favorites within IE10 even after a clean install.

That doesn't sound possible, did you format the drive before reinstalling?

Freddy

I thought that was odd too - then I wondered if IE10 links to online storage, to get the bookmarks back ?

Like Skydrive or something..
