From: Maurice@southport88.fsnet.co.uk Subject: My computer is asking for a .vxd file? (Issue #437)
When opening my computor, I get the message that system can't find the file arkdoshk.vxd and if I have uninstalled it,to reinstall it? What is arkdoshk.vxd and what is a file vxd? Is it detremental to the running of my computor by not having it?
sounds like a Packard Bell. arkdoshk.vxd is a virtual device driver that can sometimes be overwritten by an update of DirectX. It's absence will not harm your system. Click "Start" and "Run" type "Sysedit" Erase this line from the SYSTEM.INI [386enh] section: DEVICE=ARKDOSHK.VXD Save and exit. You should no longer be bothered with this.

SITES TO REVIEW: Site #140: http://www.prosperouswomen.bizland.com/masterminding Margarete MDegaston@aol.com Site #141: http://www.floridarental.co.uk Carol Hall carol@floridarental.co.uk Site #142: http://www.sharesmiles.com James Garrison webmaster@sharesmiles.com Site #143: http://www.selltheworldonline.com/default2.asp?ref=1282 gofreet@yahoo.com.au Site #144: http://www.tpcenterprises.com/ info@tpcenterprises.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SITE REVIEWED! Comments on Site #139: http://www.healthynewage.com healthychoice@earthlink.net ~~~~ This is a nice looking site, but I do have some recommendations just to make it a little easier. 1 - The look of the logo and first sentence "A Healthy New Age..." with a serif font just didn't seem to fit with the color and style of the rest of the site. 2 - As someone unfamiliar with new age stuff, I would have liked more of an introduction to describe what I would find at your site. 3 - There is a LOT of information and links on the home page. It might just be me, but I don't like so many decisions on what link to click on or where to go. By dividing this information up into main categories, then sub-categories, I wouldn't have felt overwhelmed. ~~~~ Cool background. I wish you hadn't covered it up with the white text box. But if you are using a text box / table, instead of centering all the information, I'd separate those links into side by side cells, eliminating a lot of white space and scrolling. ~~~~ This is a fast-loading site, with very extensive information on new age products and practices. I thought the 'alphabet soup challenge' was a neat idea, and you definitely have a lot of content. With the layout, try to stick to one background print, and one related background color for the other pages if you don't want to always use the print. While the topics all related to new age, the pages didn't seem to relate at all with the different borders and colors for every page. Having webmaster recommendations, I think you need to share information about yourself, I didn't find any contact information on the whole site. Great job with your meta tags, I would think you rate pretty high with search engines. ~~~~ Healthy new age was a unique site, with a fun layout and graphics that felt artsy, but with no photographs everything seemed to load quickly. I was glad to see the site index as there was almost too much on the home page, but thought the site index should have been closer to the top of the page. I clicked on some of the links, checking out the alphabet soup challenge, and some of the articles and mall stores. I was confused by the 'Enter the star gates' in the motivation central section, as I didn't know what the star gates were. A description or more information would be helpful by some of these links. ~~~~ Calm and relaxing site. Well planned and informative. Pages load quickly. Lots of time needed to visit everything, but heaps of interesting features. The white parts of the first page could be the same soft green as the rest (the white might be disguising a white square background behind the logo?) I just found the white a tad harsh with the soft green. This:MY CREATE ABUNDANCE CORNER Webmaster Resources Center The colour is out of sync. with the overall scheme. Does the site have music? (I don't have a sound card) I think adding music to it would be great. I've bookmarked lots of things from this site. Very nice site! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________ moderator: Amy Mossel: Moderator@AEOpublishing.com posting: MyInput@AEOpublishing.com ______________________________________________________ Send posts and questions (or your answers) to: mailto:MyInput@AEOpublishing.com Please send suggestions and comments to: mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com To change your subscribed address, send both new and old address to mailto:Moderator@AEOpublishing.com See below for unsubscribe instructions.
