TClockEx deactivating
I run TClockEx, which modifies what is in my clock box: I have a
two-boxes high taskbar, which gives me room for three lines there, so I have, in yellow on brown, Fr, 2009 Oct 2 8:33:1 +0100 GMT Daylight Time (except right-justified), but the thing about TClockEx is that it is entirely configurable, so you can have what (and in whatever colours) you want. (On my work machine, I have something slightly different, including the week number.) It also gives me a pop-up calendar, which is useful. The thing is, I occasionally find - usually after a period of inactivity - that it has deactivated, returning me to the boring black-on-grey (well, presumably default toolbar colours) 8:37 Friday of the normal clock. (XP and beyond gives you the "Friday" if your taskbar is high enough.) Any idea what's causing this? I'm using a fairly unmodified XP Home SP3 here, but it also happens on the work machine, which is I think some version of XP Pro, but heavily customised by the company. Not a problem - I can always restart TClockEx, from the link in Start | Programs | Start-up - I just wondered if anyone knew why it was happening. -- J. P. Gilliver.

What type of ridiculous, time wasting post is this? Just download the program
and find out for yourself instead of wasting people's time. Other people have much more important, legitimate questions they need help with. Posts like this just infuriates me. "J. P.
