i have a small window (i don't know what type of window it is...)
in my kitchen by my sink.
it has 2 panes on the bottom part. on the inside of the panes there is this white cloudy looking stuff. how did it get there and how do i take the window apart to get it out??

very confused...

:confused:

That is the sign of an insulated window that has failed and lost its vacuum, allowing moisture into it.
It can't be cleaned, but you can replace the window.
Good Luck!

You happen to be talking with the most computer e-lliterate person on the planet.
However, there is a way to do it in here, but a friend walked me through putting the flag avatar on, and the logo on my sig, so I can't help.
I think that you click on the user cp, and go from there. I can't remember. (Senility. LOL)

I think OldGuy meant to say that you have to replace the glass in the window, not the window.

Lucky is right.
That's what I meant.

Someone over in the Computer forum said that D-I-Y.com is no longer allowing custom avatars for "security" reasons. Have to use the cartoon ones.
