The healing tool is awesome but I cannot see all the buttons on 800x600 and there is no option to remove the right click context menu on images-I wish they would add that option,otherwise works great.

Xvid the best
Xvid Codec version 1.13
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 4
- Overall:
I use it only-less intrusive than Divx and will decode Divx 5 so you dont need to install that to play the videos-only thing is that it is open source so be careful where you download -I have never heard of this site so make a restore point first...but should be fine.Only reason I say this is as it was not tested by Snapfiles. [Editor: It was tested by us, just not rated.]

Really nice-does a lot of neat things,only complaint is cannot see all the buttons at 800x600 but can do most tasks-maybe the kind author can implement this in the future? This program is almost worth me changing my screen resolution to work with.

What,do you need like a super large screen resolution to see this? 800x600 dont cut it plus weather would not do anything,needs no installation so worth a try but who would want this-just use a tabbed browser and have youtube on a tab??

I emailed Mike the developer and as I clearly saw on the download page there are 2 versions-here is his response: The "Bundle Setup" at www.GetWeatherWatcher.com does contain WhenU SaveNow, as noted on the download page. If you would not like to use WhenU SaveNow, then install the "Full Setup". I dislike the fact he has that version but at least he admits it so.

BartPE version 3.1.10a

Seems easy to build the boot CD - if you have a dell computer you need a plugin called fixdellxp which you can get on the faq page-you have to add this to the cd before you burn it. My only complaint is that there is no documentation on how to use the CD-it includes A43 file manager which can browse files but can you run exe's? Can you run the system restore exe?

Works great but the resize from 800x600 to 240x320 cannot work-should be 320x240 you know?

Wow what a great program-would be a bargain at 70$ but it is free. Works great but really need a help file(there is none) but it installs great and never crashed once and is easy to figure out.
