I decided to try Avant Windows Navigator on my laptop and eeePC. I sort of like Apple’s dock. After working with it on my laptop for a day I installed it the eeePC. I figured that it would give me more real estate on the small desktop. It did. Do I like it or not? That is the question.
I was undecided if I would
keep it or not on both computers until I tried to play video on the eeePC. The eeePC froze! I could move the mouse but if I clicked on something nothing happened! At first I didn’t know what was the cause but when I asked myself what did I change that could have caused this to happen the only answer I could come up with was Avant. Before I removed Avant I had to make sure that was the cause. After I turned off the computer by holding down the power button, I turned it back on and tried the video again and it froze. Turn off, turn on computer quit Avant Windows Navigator tried video and it works perfectly like before. I knew then without a doubt that Avant was the problem. I decide to turn avant back on one more time and try playing video before taking drastic measures. The eeePC froze again.
I had to make a decision. Do I keep Avant or not. If I keep it on the eeePC I have to spend sometime trying to fix it so that I can enjoy video on the small PC or completely forget watching video on the eeePC. I chose the easiest option for myself, I removed Avant from the eeePC. I did not like it enough to convince me to invest the time debugging it.
I do not have this problem with my laptop, so as I am writing this it is still on that computer. I have been using it for that last few days and will leave it on for at least a complete week before I make my final decision if I keep it or not. At the moment I don’t see any advantage to keep it maybe I will change my mind later on I have been known to do that at times.
