			<description><![CDATA[Please tell me if it's possible to use the Universal Player plugin with MusicBee.  If so, please tell me how to do it.  MusicBee is a much better player (in my opinion) then iTunes.  I have a remote control which controls the volume of iTunes but doesn't work with MusicBee.  The volume control works with the Universal Player plug-in.  Thank you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I am using StartKiller on a new tablet that has Windows 8.1 (cannot downgrade to Win 7 because the internal drive is eMMC). SK, with the option to kill the metro interface on, is the single solution I found so far to disable the top-down swipe (a.k.a. drag-to-close) touch gesture, which is extremely annoying if you want to use only the Desktop. Unfortunately, when I am running SK with the kill metro option on, screen rotation becomes buggy: the windows do rotate, but do not resize, while a third of the screen becomes unresponsive to touch and the graphics do not refresh. At first I thought it was an issue with the graphics drivers but then it turned out that the issue disappears when the kill metro option is off, and reappear when it is on. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same issue? Any advice on how to fix it?<br />
<br />
I thought about trying MetroKiller, instead of SK with the turn off metro option on, but I doubt it would help much as I guess it's the same code.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello<br />
<br />
I'm using Presstart 1.4 I just downloaded from Tordex site together with the registered version of Truelaunchbar 6.1. Surprisingly when I run Presstart instead of calling Start Menu it brings up the hidden systray icons next to the clock.<br />
<br />
I've used to run previous versions of Presstart with no problems at all. However, I've overwritten the old version with the newest one... <img src="http://forum.tordex.com/images/smilies/sad.gif" alt="Sad" title="Sad" class="smilie smilie_8" /><br />
<br />
Is this a sort of a bug? Is there any way to overcome this problem?<br />
