I knew it. Damn. Everything is a Catch22. The fact they want to do the ETT is reassuring...your Doctor made a decision to favor caution...not a bad thing.

What's going to happen is that the active part of Vicodin (Hydrocodone) will be dosed separately from APAP (Tylenol=Acetaminophen) which is another good thing: Can't begin to count the folks I've seen with APAP hepatic damage...to the point of needing transplant. Don't worry: This isn't going to happen yesterday.

Pain Management has been fighting for meds without APAP for decades. Guess Who's been fighting against? The Pharm industry.

Another good thing to have at home would be a lock boc for those meds, Po'. Your little Smedleyette will be better protected from thinkig it's candy.

These poles are gonna be a mother to line up.

I'm guessing I have made the more programs background to large and should have spliced it between the right side of the menu. It just does not want to adjust or move over at all.

As you can see, I haven't added the animations yet. I may have to reduce the entire menu in size before I get that far.

I went for the block two weeks ago and blood pressure bottomed out before I got on the table. Took an hour to come back up. Then I went to the cardiologist last week...who yelled at me for waiting 4 years since my last cath and not taking cholesterol meds I was NEVER told I had to take. Then he informed me that I was lucky to be seeing him at all since he wouldn't waste his time doing these kinds of tests on someone MY age. That was right before he asked why he should bother at all since I have obviously decided to smoke myself into an early grave.  'House' has better bedside manners. He sent me home with a heart monitor. Stress test Tuesday. Follow up on the 13th. Did I mention that all of this is starting to get to me. Just a bit. A little bit. Just a wee nudge of a bit.

Bedside manners are over rated.  Who gives a shit if he/she is nice just as long as he/she is GOOD!  Sounds like he is just what you need!  Hang in there bro!

Well, I usually don't recommend smoking...but Sam and Skinhit told me they OK'd it for you. Tied into the money Sam owes you, maybe?

Another friend got royally screwed by his MD...been suffering ... really suffering for a couple of years and was never told he has herniated disks....I dunno...the system is shot to sh!t from every angle.

What Ken said is true...but, Ken most folks don't appreciate being related to as objects, nor being abused. Skinhit OK'd that for Po' also, as did Sam.

Kidding aside...the BP thing is interesting...and should be looked into.

STOP SMOKING, SMEDLEY! Enough is enough.

Oh you poor thing po, that Dr you went a seen needs a  tablet/ or injection of bedside manner, now if I could get over there  I would give him the double dose of bedside manner but I have one problem I cant afford to get over there to help you I would if I could buddy

Hmmm. correct indeed!  I must have missed that part.  No matter, the message remains the same.  Quit Smoking Po!

Time to Quit   .......    back to it...

It looks like there are a couple settings that need to be tweaked. Go to the extras tab for both the left and right side of the start panel. Make sure the 'width of part(vista)' and 'height of part(vista)' is exactly the same as the image dimentions. It should make everything line up right.

If you have any more trouble with it, I'll be more than happy to help.

I did that. I think it's the 'all programs' section. If you look at the last SS, at the PS draft...I cut out the entire bar. I get the impression that the 'all programs' has a strict width and I need to shorten it up or cut it in hals. If that makes sense.

The All Programs image should be the same width as the left side of your start panel.

If you cut it like this, it should work.

That's (almost exactly)  how I cut it.

Hmmmm...

You have a PM.

no i don't.

I'm trying to follow this with all the resizing and stuff but until I get into SKS all I can do is watch and listen. To me is looks great. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out. Hang in there buddy like starkers said and listen to the Doc he knows what he's talkin' about. Good luck

Getting there....

Sharp!!! Is that Fences up there top left. Start panel lookin' good...Stardock logo on the start button...the bowls for open windows is a nice touch...the sidebar too. Is that little one in the pic Smedleyette? Cute as a button. This will definitely be one of a kind.

Excellent, Po'!

You might want to shorten the 'posts' extending above the start menu, though.

I offered to take a look at the start menu to see what the problem is. If you would like to, you can send the blind to me at xiandilee(at)yahoo(dot)com.

But it looks like you got it fixed...

Wow, this is truely amazing, You have done a fantastic job there po its bloody awesome mate you done us proud
