"What's the point of a star rounding plug-in if you need to start with rounded stars to ebing with?"

[Ian]

you mean you've never ebinged around a star? I think it originated in Yorkshire.

[JohnP]

I'm confused I thought Mike was referring to the famous astronomer.....Baron Richard Von Krafft-Ebing.....

[Rocket Pooch]

ok guys my fault, I thought it was an error, I sit here with a nearly empty bottle of wine corrected

When I turn the desktop on, a black screen with a windows message comes up every time. It flashes on & off so fast I can never read what it is about. Is there a way of keeping it on there to read?

video it.

and then play it back.

to get that message back up, just hit the F8 key,

[Ian]

of course, sorry John you're right. How could I forget the eminent Kraftt-Ebing dynasty. IIRC, one of them is credited with the discovery that adding diffraction spikes on stars always makes the image look like one from Hubble. And that the effect is more pronounced the larger the spikes are, without limit. I think adding colour to them came later though.

Fay,

I had those subliminal messages as well,
Do what I did, just went out a bought a new one, that way the problem is not persistant.
So that's 12 computers, 6 monitors and 11 keyboards I have around the house now, just hope nothing goes wrong with this one as there's no room left.

Fay, to answer your first question, "Dare I say desktop" I think we've safely concluded it'd be best not to. They do have 2 for 1 deal on discombobulators in PC World at the moment, now might be a good time to get in a couple, just in case.
