626  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: How to force "Register DLL"? on: February 07, 2012, 04:40:38 PM
And what have the supplier of that DLL been able to tell you about this issue?

RegSvr32 normally always forces registration, but all it does is call the entrypoint for that, inside the DLL. If it fails, it's directly to do with the environment of the DLL, so Access denied, can be either or both access to a file, access to the registry, or missing dependencies.
Do you need to update some (MS C++?) system DLL's first, before this one will stick? (Windows Updates does wonders sometimes, even on Vista Wink)

You'd better be aware jZip installs (or tries to install) add-ons, set your browser homepage and add a search-toolbar. undecided
Read here the how-to for reset/remove/uninstall

hehe anything you can think I can do to help with that? smiley
Nope.
I'll probably have to put a big warning sticker on the monitor instead of the brand-logo, that says "BACKUP THE BACKUP" in red on white, hopefully that's enough tellme

Thanks, sounds useful to me Thmbsup (yes we do use SVN every day, about 40 projects/repos)

But the biggest drawback is I'd need to be reminded in time to make the backup embarassed

So far, I've only seen that when my wireless adapter was unplugged, or I deliberately turned off the router. But it should work if there's ever a temporary ISP service outage, shouldn't it?
It's in fact only a signal that the (local) network for that computer isn't working, but that's the part that is 'always' working, when behind a proxy. Just a loose cable/adapter would trigger it. smiley

Hm, I fail to see any advantage of WinRar over a free compression tool. Despite your recommendations undecided.

Any time I use WinRar (on someone else's machine) for a file I want to extract from a subfolder in an archive to a totally unrelated subfolder on disk, it insists on prefixing the file with the path inside the archive, so I have to move it in the intended location afterward. It's probably a setting somewhere, but it's just daft that it's on by default. Never have that with any of the other archivers.

Vista and 7 have built in ZIP handling. <...>
Any MS OS since XP has, but it performs like a snail in a formula 1 racetrack, so no-go.

If you have 7-zip, or a possibly somewhat better-looking (though that's subjective) free alternative like PeaZip, why bother to pay for WinRar? It does nothing better than any of the free alternatives.

Did you throw away the old SATA cables, and inserted new ones? That might be the only way to actually get rid of this problem.
Then use HDS Pro to reset the SMART counter.
635  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Software Uninstallers on: February 06, 2012, 02:21:36 AM
Ever since Windows NT an Administrator (the actual user that should be installing/uninstalling software) can not reliably access the personal files of another user. Either because the files can not be reached in the other profile, stored on an AD controlled location, or because access-rights don't allow him in.
These files should in fact be manually deleted by the user. But most software do not provide instructions on how, where & what to remove after uninstall. That's what can be kind-of fixed by these uninstallers, for the current user only, ofcourse.
636  DonationCoder.com Software / Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor Fails to capture X-Plane screenshots on: February 06, 2012, 01:57:47 AM
working with X-Plane and not working is Windows 7 64bit.

With X-Plane and XP Pro, Screenshot Captor worked normally.
Windows XP and Windows 7 video subsystem & drivers are further away from each other than 32 bit and 64 bit Windows. Most graphics tools/games using either DirectX or OpenGL need specific features to allow capturing.

You can always grab/save a full screen using the game's built-in features, then open the image using ScreenShot Capture and do any editing/markup.

Hm, that should work. Just try to read the file, and be prepared to catch any exception you get thrown.

Guess you never actually saw this error?:

639  DonationCoder.com Software / Screenshot Captor / Re: Scrolling window in Firefox on: February 05, 2012, 02:08:08 PM
Just tried some situations:
  • If the background is selected before the scroll, then SSC can detect the margins quite well
  • If the outside Windows frame is selected, then it doesn't detect the margins at all, so they have to be set by hand
  • If the Quick Reply textbox is selected, then it can't detect the scrolling method correctly, even though SSC thinks it can after hitting the Test Window button, capturing is just crap after that (50 pages, as set for default)

As suggested by mouser in other posts and the Screencast(s), select the background of the page, then start capturing, but use the Test Window button to get the most optimal method.
640  DonationCoder.com Software / Screenshot Captor / Re: Scrolling window in Firefox on: February 05, 2012, 01:49:02 PM
Works fine here with FF 10, though sometimes you need to click on the page background first, and sometimes you need to select the outside Windows frame of FF first. It depends. Sometimes. And that's FireFox's fault, AFAIK Sad
641  DonationCoder.com Software / Kyrathaba Software / Re: Kyrathasoft Internet Connection Test Demo on: February 05, 2012, 09:27:06 AM
Hm, looking at that code, I'm not convinced that it would really check if I have a working internet connection.
It just shows if I have a valid network connection, but doesn't reach out to an actual internet site to see if it can read data from there. And that's the only reliable way to check if the i-net is working.
I'm on a local network, and internet is handled by a Proxy server.

when we say "it is for single use" it means you can't redistribute it and share your modification with other name on your site.
I'd also change the text on the site and in the license. We're most likely not the only ones being confused by that. Wink

Wow, thanks for these nice screencasts. Especially the Word-one is very helpful thumbs up, though I've not yet scroll-captured any Word stuff yet, I'm quite sure I'll have to, sooner or later.

It runs very hot both the CPU and the HD.  And, it seems, the temperature confuses HDS Pro.  I am expecting the box to die because of the heat signature, but prolly not that soon  tongue.
You might wanna clean the cooling on that laptop, just to keep it alive a bit longer. Should also end the false-reporting issues with HDS.

Hm, what would be the risk with SSC running as administrator? Shouldn't be dangerous, IMHO.
650  DonationCoder.com Software / Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor v3 beta on: February 03, 2012, 02:35:13 PM
but i really worry about running it under wrong user level
Not many users start their installers using 'Run As Administrator' these days, and those who do, probably know what they are doing anyway.
Inno Setup triggers the UAC permission dialog at the expected/right moment, unless ofcourse UAC is turned off ohmy
I guess 95% of current Inno Setup scripts that has an executable that can be run right after installation, offers the option to do that.

(I'll again admit I'm an Inno Setup addict/fan/advocate/12+ year user, but have no other bindings to it than that, and I like installers to be done 'just right')
