Skype drains my phone battery, I don't like it.  I'd like to have it on all the time, but I don't want to recharge my phone everyday :(

Wiped clean the hdd but when you uninstalled VBox you could access the data on the hdd again?!?!  Maybe the VM in Vbox just stole the hdd connection and locked it so it couldn't be accessed by any device other than the VM?  Not sure though, just guessing.

a small box appears when you open the belkin manager with all the attached usb devices inside of it.
when vbox was installed the  Belkin hub center lost all the devices inside of it.

when i uninstalled vbox.
i again could access all the attached devices.
after a couple of reinstalls i narrowed it down to this.

Ah, so it does sound like to me that the VM was "stealing" the connection to it and locking it so that only it could use it.  You should be able to go into the VM (either in the VM OS or the VM Settings) and tell it not to use it anymore.  After that it should be visible to your host OS again.

It's neither there or in the Start menu :-\.  I've been meaning to run the installer again, I'm just kind of lazy :(.

I don't like Steam, it's slow and annoying.  It's even more annoying in Linux with Wine, because it likes to jump around when you drag it across the screen.  Setting Wine to use Windows 7 mode adds a title-bar, which works a lot better, but sometimes accidentally drag using the Steam window.

I don't like it when they make everything big.  I thought it'd be fun to try out WindowMaker-crm, a forked version of WindowMaker that has some more modern features.  It seemed to install OK, but wouldn't start up.  It managed to modify the WindowMaker config files OK, which was nice at first.  The problem is that all the menu entries for xterm used switches that make the window large and the font massive.  I don't like that!  I am glad I backed up my original configuration files, I usually wouldn't do that  ;D

Lots of stuff seems to have larger buttons and text recently, it's annoying on my 17" laptop screen.  I notice it less in Windows.  When I'm using something in Wine, everything looks nice (except Steam, it's stupid) and all the icons are small and compact.

Maybe I'm picking all the wrong settings.  The Xfe file manager has a kind of compact UI, I just get annoyed with no auto-complete.

Right now uTorrent is just playing silly buggars. It freezes, crashes, stops transferring, and sticks on my screen so I can't see other applications.

I've tried unistalling and reinstalling but it's still screwed?

I think I need to format and start afresh.

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

funny about the Utorrent thing as mine as gone stupid again.
fails to recognise open ports ( and i havent changed anything for months )
and freezes a lot.
time for a change of managers i think.

On a side note.
does anyone know a Idiots guide to Rainmater.??? and sorted  :D

I'm after a Kvm switch for 2 desktop pc's on one monitor.

main pc runs Windows 7 ( which i believe can mess with  kvm switches)
using a  NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT graphic card.
the second will run a linux set up using onboard graphic's.
both will connect via a monitor cable.

The search function in Windows 7 is terrible!  I'm so glad my files are well organised.
