In the
Fantasy footy Rich is currently the highest place player to have his whole selection go out! Though perhaps to be overtaken by spuds dad if Spain beat portugal tonight.
Is Wicksey TW?
Thanks Spud, I went with
Paper planes - At least until I get a 2nd monitor.
Wincustomise seems very retro, the sort of thing I would have liked 10 years ago.
Interfacelift seems mostly to be the same style of epic landscapes without too much variation really - mostly the world with some nice photoshopping.
My first recommendation would be
InterFacelift. It has some great stuff, sensible download options and OK searching.
I used to get on well with
WinCustomize, but ymmv - it seems to have gone downhill a fair bit.
Lifehacker often have good articles, e.g.
this one on dual screen papers.
Finally,
ubuntu love
Or do you want recommendations of specific wp's?

Any luck with the HDD spud?
Also - any suggestions for good desktop backgrounds for my work desktop, Apparently Deviantart is blocked there though, so may rehost good ones onto fitzbilleh

chkdsk yes, defrag no. I am thinking it's a virus of some kind - no way is there just a bad sector over my Chrome settings and nothing else. But I've run MSE plenty.
@Rich, Yeah probs. I'm considering taking the SSD plunge, but will probs get a medium size HDD. I have so little stuff - unlike you
Sounds like the first thing to is get a cheap HD and a backup!
have you tried running chkdsk? or maybe even a defrag?
afaict no massive problem accessing most of my files (I have so little stuff...) I think it's just a bad sector. It can't access all my Chrome settings, for example. Bit weird, really.

i haven't had chkdsk running since my first Dell laptop - which the hard drive went in. My most recent laptop had other hardware failures, namely the network card.
Corrupt hard drive obviously not great though, might be worth finding a good computer repairer - they may be able to rescue some of the data if you need it.
*waits for solid state to get cheaper, preferably overnight*
Ouchy, Its not that old either is it?
What's your plan now?
Basically some of my hard drive has become corrupted. Probably from all that magnet stroking I did.
@Phil: what was that chkdsk error you had on your old computer? What OS was it?
