Decided to experiment with Rainmeter after ignoring it for many years.

Always find myself back on this forum for some reason. Rainmeter looks interesting, I might have to try it out sometime.

I don't like to have programs that are "system tools" by my normal apps. I keep them in a separate area.

Do you actually launch QuickTime and Adobe Reader by themselves? I always just open the file I want to play or read.My gaming PC.
Awesome wallpaper! I love that kind of long exposure photography - I've done two or three myself.
You're a badass for having illicit Windows though.

If I launch a QuickTime video by itself (for ex., m4v, mov), I'll get an error message but if I open QT itself then search for the file it works. I know, it is retarded, but I can't fix it.
Which, specific error?

I don't know. It hasn't happened since I updated QT.

I wish I was any good at photography, and I think it would be a fun hobby to get into but I'd rather spend my money on cars... I got this desktop from SpeedHunters, I love all of their photographers work.
And you noticed that?
It was either get a windows license and 650 Ti, or 660 Ti and no windows... I think next time I'm gonna budget in a legit windows license because this can be a pain sometimes.

I SUCK at photography. I don't have a steady hand at all so I basically rely on a tripod to do anything decent.

I love photography - very fun indeed!
Not done any of these long exposures for over a year now but the last one has nearly 4,000 views so I'm pretty happy about that! 
Now that I have purchased all of my computer stuff for the time being, my next purchase will probably be a nice Sigma 10-20mm f/4.0-5.6 for my D3200 so I can get some epic wide angle landscapes. I've wanted that lens for a year now but I haven't gotten round to buying one yet!
Too bad your wallpaper will keep disappearing every hour because you don't have genuine Windows!
But hey, you have a nice graphics card so it's all good.

The better question is, why do you use QuickTime and not VLC?
All you need to do is bump up the shutter speed so you don't get motion blur, the rule of thumb is your shutter speed should be at least twice your focal length. If you have stabilization that allows for a slower shutter speed.
Yeah I'd suggest trying VLC if QuickTime is annoying you. Generally works really well! :good:
But he did say that he updated it and it made the problem go away, so...
I only have QuickTime installed so that Premiere Pro, After Effects and Audition can read MP4 files (usually from my camera) but I don't actually use it to play any files because I don't really like it.
