Will too big of a power supply hurt other things or do they only pull what they need? I want a bigger power supply but the guys at dell says it can only handle 425 watts. At the same time someone else there said it's ok to go bigger & that it won't hurt anything.. Who right? I'm getting kind of tired of them anyway, since everytime I call I get a different answer..Anyway let me know, thanks..

Does anyone know how to fix media player from not closing (running) when closed button clicked? I mean media player closes but still runs in background, and the only way to close or stop is through task manager. The guy at dell says account is corrupted and making a new account should solve problem .. Is there another way than that because that can be a pain..Let me know, thanks..

Just got new computer & downloaded tree size and it says 22 gb's used.  Computer drive c says 227 gb's from 283 gb's which is about 56 or 57 gb's used.. Should I be concerned that the tree size reads about 35  gb's less? I tend to trust it as opposed to what drive c says. Anybody know why the difference?

Does anyone have an opinion on whether 64 bit will run ok as opposed to 32 bit? :) Thinking about 64 bit because of memory probs...

Is there a way to speed up rendering without getting a new computer? I asked the guy at dell If I could install different (better) processor but he said they don't recommend it.,. Any ideas? :)

I have two recent things posted and before I updated them they both had 5 stars and when they came back they both had four stars. Why is this?  Is there a penalty for updating things that I don't know about. And before you say anything nobody rated them down they just reappeared with 4 stars..http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=3917&libid=31 & http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=1343&libid=34.. Anybody have any input on why this happened? By the way they,ve both had 5 stars pretty much from the start... All I can think of is one of the mods has a problem with me..

Updated wallpaper Eye in the Sky and checked little box to reset date so everybody would know but it didn't take so nobody knows it was updated. What now? If nobody knows about it being updated what's the point of updating it at all? :p

Awhile back rabidrobot sent me a memory meter which displays the level horizontally. I want it to display vertical, does anyone know how to change script so it displays vertical instead horizontally? I like it because if you have more than 2 or 3 gb's of memory it works, the stardock plugin one only works with up to 2 gb's. Well here's the script. Maybe someone can help..

 For Each objItem In objRefreshItem
  ' Gather info - I only get AvailableBytes, but you could
  ' get any of the info listed in the OnLButtonUp sub too.
  availableMemory = availableMemory + objItem.AvailableBytes
