2009-06-06T15:32:31Z 65073 0 Easier to use than Finale, and it doesn't contain more features than absolutely necessary. But it's basically a Windows 3.1 program that's been ported to support Windows 9x+. It's so buggy that it's not even funny: for instance, when I run it on XP and Vista, I get a Windows error message every single time I close it, saying that the program has crashed, even though nothing appears to have failed and all data is still intact. Compatibility mode doesn't help either. 29058 2007-09-29T19:40:13Z 67010 2009-11-21T17:11:43Z MusicTime Deluxe 3 2009-06-14T13:06:32Z http://www.gvox.com/mtd.php http://wakoopa.com/software/musictime-deluxe http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/081/707/normal.png?1244984790 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/081/707/thumb.png?1244984790 6966 Lyrrus, Inc. dba GVOX http://wakoopa.com/developers/lyrrus-inc-dba-gvox 24 Editors http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/editors win Basic music notation and MIDI file editor for Windows and Mac. MusicTime Deluxe is GVOX's entry-level scorewriter, behind Encore. Its note entry is similar to that found in products such as Finale and MuseScore, being both toolbar and MIDI based. Other MIDI features include the ability to open, edit, and save MIDI files, convert native files to MIDI, and change staves' playback instruments and parameters. 2007-11-20T20:13:27Z 5188 4 Quite a neat program, and far more functional (though bloated) than, say, the Mozilla Suite (now Seamonkey). And since we're paying for this, shouldn't it also have tabs? The interface sort of resembles the Slate placeholder-theme from the Vista alphas, so it looks slightly outdated and this only adds to the cheese factor -- especially when MSN 7.5, which used a similar colour scheme, has turned into the very-attractive WLM 8.5. Microsoft, you're still making money off this program. Don't let it stagnate. 8444645 2007-05-07T02:29:01Z 7405 2009-12-05T01:11:02Z MSN Explorer 324 2009-03-31T17:18:05Z http://explorer.msn.com/install.htm http://wakoopa.com/software/msn-explorer http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/003/normal.png?1238519883 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/003/thumb.png?1238519883 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation Check what's happening on the web 1 Browsers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/browsers win MSN Explorer is a web browser, developed by Microsoft, that integrates MSN and Windows Live features such as Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger with a web browser.

Delete its startup entry. Useful stuff though, so open it manually when needed. And then be sure to exit it from its notification area icon, or better yet, kill it via Task Manager. 4072595 2007-05-05T03:53:41Z 5540 2009-12-25T16:47:36Z HP Total Care Advisor 567 2009-11-07T17:43:21Z http://hp.com http://wakoopa.com/software/hp-total-care-advisor http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/163/812/normal.jpg?1257615799 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/163/812/thumb.jpg?1257615799 78 Hewlett-Packard http://wakoopa.com/developers/hewlettpackard Tools that help you manage your system 12 System tools http://wakoopa.com/categories/utilities/system-tools win HP total care advisor is a set of tools that comes with newer HP computers.

Note to enrique: Firefox's cache is disabled by default for a reason -- to reduce flash drive wear from all the disk reads and writes that would occur with a cache. Plus, it saves disk space. If you want, you can go into Options and re-enable it, though it's not recommended. 301408 2007-05-02T11:16:20Z 795 2009-12-04T23:33:59Z PortableApps Menu 887 2009-09-03T02:55:56Z http://portableapps.com http://wakoopa.com/software/portableapps-menu http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/320/normal.png?1238515109 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/320/thumb.png?1238515109 368 PortableApps.com (John T.

You know, on Vista, when the screen goes black and you have to give approval. Slightly annoying, but it's worth it. Oh, and despite reports and commercials that say otherwise, a feature similar to this has been in Mac OS and Linux variants for years. 7035 2007-05-03T18:22:29Z 3275 2009-12-05T06:23:17Z Consent UI for Administrative Applications 2278 2009-07-03T14:35:50Z http://www.microsoft.com/ http://wakoopa.com/software/consent-ui-for-administrative-applications http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/003/178/normal.png?1238517601 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/003/178/thumb.png?1238517601 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation Tools that help you manage your system 12 System tools http://wakoopa.com/categories/utilities/system-tools win Consent UI for Administrative Applications. 2007-09-03T21:12:36Z 3381 5 "A feature of vista which has no real practical use what so ever." Ah, but it's worth it for the Aero-Glass effects and Flip3D, visual alt-tab and live taskbar thumbnails.
