It isn't meant to have style information. Software sites use PAD files to get the info they display about an application on their site. If the info in the PAD file changes, like when there is a new version released, the info on the software site will change as well. You can read more about PAD files here: <a href="http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/" rel="nofollow">http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/</a> @ fullbug: Without more information I can't tell you what the problem is, but there are 2 things I can think of off the top of my head that could cause an issue with running ClutterBuster: 1. You are trying to run it on Vista. I do not claim Vista compatibility in any of my applications. I can't. I don't own a copy of Vista, nor do I own a computer that can run Vista, so I have no way of testing if anything will work on Vista. I can tell you it will run quite well on an 11 old P1 233mhz, with 64mb ram, and Win9x, though...because that happens to be what I was using when I created the application. 2. You have a habit of storing files on your desktop, rather than shortcuts to the files. This is a very common Windows user mistake. The desktop was not designed to store files and one should not keep files there. Only shortcuts to files should be kept on your desktop. There can be issues with things going wrong when running applications in which the location of the .exe file is directly on the desktop, especially if the application has settings stored in another file or the registry, which would be the case with ClutterBuster. Solution: Place the ClutterBuster.exe file somewhere else on your hard drive and create a shortcut to it on your desktop, instead. If neither of these are your problem, you can find my email address on the Contact page of my site to contact me directly, and we can find out why ClutterBuster is not working for you. fullbug on "Some great freeware you will never see here" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1423#post-35658 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:53:36 +0000 fullbug 35658@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Nobody here has tried this program?

Hope the artistically-inclinded will like 'em: IMHO, matching clothes or interior decorating is a mystical blend of art and science best left to women. I couldn't correctly come up with a good shirt, slacks, socks and belt combo if my life depended on it. I'm more color-challenged than the colorblind. Perhaps that's why <a href="http://www.colorjack.com/sphere/">COLORJACK</a> is fascinating. It instantly displays appealing complimentary or contrasting color combinations in ways I could never imagine as I stare slack-jawed at clothing racks or paint samples. Any photo manipulation buffs out there? Despite what parents and nuns tell you, you won't go blind or get hairy palms if you're a <a href="http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/">Rasterbator</a>. According to the site, "The Rasterbator creates huge, rasterized images from any picture. Upload an image, print the resulting multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into extremely cool looking poster up to 20 meters in size." Of course, you'd have to be a millionaire to afford enough HP or Epson ink to do that in color. Might be cool to print out ASCII drawings and lay them on the floor at the base of a stairway for a party... something like the XFiles episode - <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=0hNMYXevJJU&feature=related">Conduit</a>.
