Let me see if I have this straight,  You helped build New York. 
you requested certain programs, privileges, citizenships etc from the world
owner  in order to perform the tasks of creating objects, building
etc.  Now you claim that because you created those objects, they belong
to you... well sir, you are in sad need of a Plexdectomy.  In issence
you were employed by the world owner to assist in creating a specific environment. 
Thus you were, in fact, employed by said world owner and as such, all creations
belong to the world owner.  What you are trying to have us believe
would be the same thing as Roland owning all of the programs that he has
written while an employee of AW.  Son, if I were you, I would close
up shop, apologize to those people whom you crossed and grow up. 
You are a talentd builder, but don't be an ass.  You're wrong. 
You were paid with the things (programs, citizenships etc) that you requested
and received in lieu of payment. (Which was NOT offered to begin with).
Just my .002

For the same reasons a cracked program is.  Just because there is
not a cost involved in using the program, doesn't give one the right to
change it.  It's called pirated software.  If you have a program
that requires a key, and you download a crack for it, you in affect patch
that program making it illegal.  Ownership of the AW browser still
belongs to AW.  You just have the privilege to use it...not change
it.

You might want to do two other things before wiping your drive. Clean all of
the files and folders out of c:\windows\temp. And run either regclean
(microsoft)or regcleaner (you will have to search for it).

He has Casay, :). Now all eep has to do is buy a dictionary. Hmmm,,,, "Yea,
because I'd run circles around Roland's pathetic attempt at coding..." = "In
finding bugs, Casay...". Coding=debugging.

Say what you mean Eep. Be efficient.

Your grammer is just fine Andras, so don't apologize. Eep doesn't have a life and except
trying to run circles around Rolands programming. OOPS!!.. sorry,, Eep doesn't know how to
program....So I guess all he can do is run in circles. As in chasing his tail....Hmmm..
makes one wonder what he will do with it once he catches it..

AW Not working

No need to reformat. After all of wings suggestions. Also go to the
c:\windows\temp folder and delete EVERYTHING in it. And check to make sure you
don't have any tmp files in your windows folder. If you do, delete them too.
That should fix you up.

AW Not working

Jan 21, 2001, 1:30pm

nova, I have gone over this before. You should never have to reformat or
reinstall windows unless you have had a harddrive failure. Even then you
shouldn't have to if you do your backups on a regular basis. However, as far as
the temp files go, I will explain it again. Ever since windows first came out,
it has created temp files in a directory named temp in the windows
subdirectory. Windows uses this directory(folder) to cache out any programs
that might be open or running. This is ok except that sometimes these programs
don't clean up after themselves and they leave temp files. This includes
windows itself. The next time windows starts, it looks in that folder to see if
there are any files it thinks it need. If windows sees a temp file there, it
will try to use it, thus recreating any error conditions that may have existed
when the program failed. This is the way it has always been and is even now
with win2k win me and even win nt. If your system still runs even with alot of
temp files, it will run alot better without them, and, you will gain alot of
disk space too. These files are not needed. I clean mine using a bat file when
I start my system.

Hope this helps,

Holistic1
