ps. i'll have a new version out by monday with the latest improvements.
27827
it might be more fun for it to be a lot larger.

hehe quite true!
27828
oh and another things - maybe the actual text of the banner should say
"MOBYSAURUS THESAURUS
 for the voraciously wordy"

instead of

"DonationCoder.com
 for software connoisseurs"

it's important that the page be recognizable as part of the dc family but there is no reason we can't have some fun :)

Maybe the dinosaur should be smaller than cody and on a leash next to cody (on his right hand side) like his pet?

I'm not sure what you mean by "reset a bunch of functions" - but i use the program every day - it gives me a nice organied bar on the screen with my favorite tools and menus.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I still think the banner could use some dinoauring up.. maybe put the dinosaur on the global and go from blue tint to green tint?

Well managing running programs is actually on my todo list (switching to them, killing them, changing priorities), just seems like something better suited for a plugin so i've put it off for now..

Find And Run Robot / Re: Humanized Enzo

Link to my Find and Run Robot: here.

I actually got an email pointing to a Wall Street Journal article about enzo in the mail from someone. Looks a bit interesting but also a bit unusable to me in terms of this caps lock thing.  The article was the typical kind of article you might find, like as if the NY Times ran a column and said "You have to try out this magical program called 'UnheardOfPaint' it is an amazing kind of program for your computer that simulates paintbrushes digitally so that you can litterally "draw" on your screen in colors to create virtual images, and then even print them!! Will wonders ever cease?  You must try this new one of a kind unique program, which i as a columnist will just assume is unique and has never been written by other companies 10 years ago because i don't want to miss my pedicure by searching the web for other similar programs."  This kinds of columns really make you wonder.. Well maybe it pays to have friends in high places, and pays to have an advertising budget.    I've added it to the Related Programs page.

Regardless, don't want to sounds jelous.. might be some useful features to learn from. I'd be interested in hearing any features that FARR users see and want.  Maybe the window commands.. Hey that gives me a thought.. maybe i should incorporate some GridMove type functionality that would let you through text arrange windows in a grid like manner on the screen.  Like "movewin UL" to say to move/resize window to upper left corner, etc.  Just an idea..

that might end up being the easiest way to interface with the desktop search engines also.

I haven't sent in $999 nor am I going to, but by any chance would the step 3. be repeat?

that's a very good question nite_monkey - unfortunately i'm not sure - I think it should be able to be done.
the place to ask might be http://www.simplemachines.org/community/
a quick search there suggests that safe mode should be ok:

Living Room / Re: is it me or is it the machine (i'm sorry for even posting this).
« Last post by mouser on January 24, 2007, 06:52 AM »
as for the RAM, well i sort of think maybe that is the problem - but the problematic software works perfectly well in the other older xp install.

Yeah this is indeed the curious part-- which makes me think maybe it's the hard drive or some partition issue or restore problem.  It wouldn't be strange for the errors to appear randomly if it was the memory, but it would be very strange to get them only on the new xp install and not the old.

A good diagnostics program might be able to help detect whether it is a hardware fault; ive no experience with them but ill bet someone here can recommend one.

Also, was the image you restored with Acronis ever itself previously restored and then re-imaged with Acronis? It's possible of course that if so, the source of all your problems was an Acronis restore that didnt 100% work.  That's the problem with much of these frustrations, in that you can't 100% identify WHEN the problem first starting occuring.

Don't give up nudone - no matter what you bought, no matter when you bought it, 12 months later it's worth half.  And if you had bought a cheapo machine it might be doing the exact same thing and you'd be punching yourself for not buying a top-of-the-line model.

Here is how i might start out trying to address the issue:

Order yourself a new hard disk.  Take your old one out of the drive or mount it as second hard drive, etc.

If you are using a fancy raid disk drive adapter that you dont need to be using, dont use it.  If you have some overclocking settings in your bios, reset them to default.

Now install windows cleanly on it in a standard way (ie C:\ partition for windows, D:\ for your drives).
Run all windows updates, graphics drivers updates, etc.

Make an image of the drive with acronis.

Now start by installing your meddlesome programs again and see how they behave.

I personally ALWAYS suspect the memory sticks when i start getting insanely random errors.  I've had enough trouble with bad memory to be constantly suspecting that memory errors are doing bad things and never reporting anything is wrong.  Someone else may be able to tell you some stress testing programs you can run to help identify if the problem is a hardware problem.

First know: you are not alone.

My very limited experience with computers is that sometimes they just work perfectly, and sometimes you get one that acts up.  You will be able to get this sorted and working ok - and your sanity *will* be restored.  I have my own computer anger management issues and have been known to scream and curse and spit at the computer so loudly that the neighbors came over fearing i was murdering someone.  I have also smashed mechanical devices with hammers as the only way to get out my revenge on them.  I know full well the feeling that your mind is slipping from all these random insane non-sensical frustrations.

But, we will help you get your top of the line system running smoothly - just take a deep breath and resign yourself to the fact that it's going to take a little longer.

Developer's Corner / Re: Error with BDS 2006 concerning Indy 10... Help!
« Last post by mouser on January 24, 2007, 04:40 AM »
cool.

In general the error you get is easily handled, and you're going to see it again and again with other components.
It's nothing to panic over.

Sometimes a component is not configured to add ALL of its header file directories autoamtically.  So take note of the header file it can't find (IdBaseComponent.hpp), and go find it in the component directory, then open up the Project Properties, go to the directories tab, select Include directories, and ADD the directory containing the header file.  All done.
