[OLD THREAD ALERT]Hi, I'm sure there are numerous typing programs released since the last comments in this thread. In the effort to improve my terrible typing skills, I recently found TIPP10. http://www.tipp10.com/en/index/ : TIPP10 is a free touch typing tutor for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The ingenious thing about the software is its intelligence feature. Characters that are mistyped are repeated more frequently. Beginners will find their way around right away so they can start practicing without a hitch.
Useful support functions and an extensive progress tracker, topical lessons and the ability to create your own practice lessons make learning to type easy. Note a portable Windows version is also available.

in my mind Renegade was merely saying that it is not a surprise that this happens a lot with programs from smaller companies.
And I recognize the valid point. My original statement was based on the user frustration which occurs when I have a program but cannot use it because some of the graphical elements are completely off the page. Really frustrating, but I suppose also understandable as Renegade notes. To me it's like going to a restaurant and having to bother the waiter/waitress to bring silverware to the table.  Sad to say, it happens more than necessary. |

... Visual Search Pony...I believe this is the only one also comparing videos?
Good question--I haven't seen many tools which can evaluate video similarity. You might want to try SimilarImages for that purpose.  Seems it can process video and compare frames to evaluate similarity. But it's hard to find much information on SimilarImages' video comparison capabilities because the old site is gone, the current location isn't a fully developed site, and the documentation included with the latest 2010.09 (beta) contains outdated/incorrect info. |

I tried Visual Search Pony a while back and had no luck with that particular software. Perhaps I overlooked something(?), but I found it to be a major disappointment (btw certainly not an uncommon experience with this type of software) . Hmm...I hope they continue to develop their "revolutionary content-based search". Who knows? In time it could be fantastic. |

...I'd try and figure out which service from svchost.exe is trying to access the password database....
Cryptographic Services?  Cryptographic Services: Provides three management services: Catalog Database Service, which confirms the signatures of Windows files; Protected Root Service, which adds and removes Trusted Root Certification Authority certificates from this computer; and Key Service, which helps enroll this computer for certificates. If this service is stopped, these management services will not function properly. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. |

Back when I used the app (IIRC), there was none of this add-on crap in the installer.
I wish all those guys the best.
Thought it might be some key service/certificate issue.
