General Software Discussion / Re: 'create Restore Point' question

Sounds like some of you guys really think I should pull my CPU cooling fan & fins and give them a fresh cleaning & silvering, so I'm thinking about it.
Yup, and, like shades said, be sure to apply the silvering paste very thin, as it is only needed to flatten out any air-pits and minor irregularities in the contact surface between the cpu and the cooler.
In the most optimum case the surface-contact should really be metal on metal, as the paste can work as heat-insulation when applied too thick!

You might need to check if the cooler is properly mounted on the cpu, if it's not firmly and exactly mounted on top then it won't cool good enough.

The update from Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 are free for the lifetime of the system, new systems will need a normal, bought, license. They will be included with new PC's like Win7/Win8.1 have been, but then they are not, and have never been, free! There will also be Systembuilder licenses for the home-building croud, just like previous Windows versions had.

Wait for the migration to smf 2.0, planned for September 1st, then it might also get Tapatalk support added/enabled (though that's not finally decided yet), so you/we won't need to write a html parser :up:.

Doesn't your story just confirm that Goldmine CRM isn't yet tested/updated for Windows 10? That should have probably been your first investigation, before taking the deep-dive into Win10...

For now I'd suggest to revert to your previous Windows (8.1), and wait for an official update of Goldmine to get Win10 compatiblity; the free upgrade to Win10 is available up-until July 2016 :up:

XML does not have any 'programming logic' by itself; as Shades already suggests, an XML processing-tool, like XSLT is required.

I've been enormously helped in the past by the XSLT processing features of NetBeans IDE :Thmbsup: as it has both code-completion and ofc. syntax-highlighting.

it was (is!) very difficult for him to explain what the program actually does. His homepage: http://spli-stuff.blogspot.co.uk/
All I can find on that site is a cr#$@load of videos. Not even a simple feature-list :o
I'm also in that camp of ppl that shy away "if there's no text describing what it does, it must be unworthy looking any further" :down:

Are the Acer power-management tools/drivers/add-ons installed? They caused similar behavior on a slow Acer laptop I serviced few weeks ago, where this happened when the Acer-'enhanced' power-setting was enabled. Switching to a standard power-scheme fixed it for me.

Does anyone have even 1 useful/compelling argument for using a non-free zip-file 'manager'? As I have been unable to detect one. (this isn't sarcastic!)
Actually, yes. WinRar. If you're into the rar-format and it's advantages, that is.
Well, that's the format I avoid using, as I have to distribute stuff to some that are limited to Windows' builtin unzipper :huh:.
And for all others I'm using 7-zip as it does pack dense enough and in package-types (tar.gz, 7z, zip) that can be unpacked on HP-UX and Linux.
The only reason for rar would be the error-correction options, but most material I pack is reproducible, so recovery isn't a requirement per-sè.
And winrar has a dumb-founded unpack dialog that lets novice-users easily make wrong choices >:( but I wasn't asking for that ;D

Post New Requests Here / Re: Adapt emptytxtfile.ahk to windows 8.1
« Last post by Ath on August 14, 2015, 08:12 AM »
I started off with the script you originally posted, and implemented the suggestion by MilesAhead using "#IfWinExists ahk_class ... " instead of "#if WinExists(...)", though that doesn't matter much (tested both, worked just fine)
Then I tried to find the reason it didn't get the value for the DesPath variable, trying to understand how it got it in the first place. Then used the AHK AutoIt3 Window Spy tool that comes with the AHK installer to find the control-name for the current Path of the Explorer window, parsed it to remove the Address: prefix, and 'et voila', working 8).
BTW, I've compiled the script into a .exe, and it works both compiled for x86 (32 bit Unicode) or x64 (64 bit Unicode). I think the Unicode compilation is required for current Windows versions, to enable it working for *any* Language-locale. Doesn't need to be Run As Administrator (though I still have UAC enabled).

This is my current script: (Didn't do any nice indenting or comments :-[, only added the current path to the "File Name" first line of the list)
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1.      
  2.     #ifWinActive ahk_class CabinetWClass
  3.     {
  4.       #y::
  5.       Gui, Destroy

  8.       HWND := WinExist()
  9.       ControlGetText, DesPath, ToolbarWindow323, ahk_id %WinID%
  10.       StringMid,DesPath,DesPath,Instr(DesPath,": ") + 2
  11.       Gui, Add, ListView, r10 NoSort vChosenName h300 w400, File Name (Path: %DesPath%)
  12.          For A,B in {1:"Instrucciones.txt",2:"Instalar en mv.txt", 3:"Es mal portable.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Adapt emptytxtfile.ahk to windows 8.1
« Last post by Ath on August 14, 2015, 05:15 AM »
I've debugged a little on Windows 10 and came to these changes:
OLD CODE:
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. HWND := WinExist()
  2.       ControlGetText, DesPath, Edit1, ahk_id %WinID%
  3.       Gui, Add, ListView, r10 NoSort vChosenName h300 w400, File Name

NEW CODE:
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. HWND := WinExist()
  2.       ControlGetText, DesPath, ToolbarWindow323, ahk_id %WinID%
  3.       StringMid, DesPath, DesPath, Instr(DesPath,": ") + 2
  4.       Gui, Add, ListView, r10 NoSort vChosenName h300 w400, File Name
(2nd line changed, 3rd line added)

The text from this control comes prefixed with "Address: " on a US-English Windows installation, and "Adres: " with the Dutch language pack active (I have separate logins for separate languages on this Windows 10 system 8)), so the string-splitting is based on the ": " part.
I'm no expert on AHK, but it "Works On My Machine" (r) ;D
Can't test with Windows 7 (at the moment) or Windows 8.x (at all as I don't have that @#$#%-OS here), but as Windows Explorer has a lot of similarities I sortof assume it should work there too. Else use the AHK Window Spy to get the control-name that holds the address for the current folder:
Screenshot - 14-08-2015 , 12_08_09.png

Only once the address is selected it reveals the Edit1 control as used in the original code:
