I understand.
Sorry if I cannot do my best.

Well, the only thing we want you to do, in this situation, is to answer the question. Why is that so hard? It's not a difficult question, and only a yes or no answer is enough.

Living Room / Re: Weather notifications
« Last post by Ath on September 02, 2017, 10:07 AM »
The trouble with most weather forecast services is they don't provide the requested detaillevel for an entire day for free, usually only for 2 or 3 hours ahead. And the commercial services that are available are rather expensive, as that's more a b2b proposition, AFAIK.

There are several (smartphone) apps available that give you a warning 30 or 60 minutes ahead, maybe that's usable? I've used one for many years, cycling to work and back on a daily basis. But I don't always manage to arrive without getting wet... :huh:

And it will invalidate the urls embedded in some/many of the software published, as well as any links in forummessages :(

Well, I tried a regex too, but I couldn't fix 1 issue.
My regex:
\b[A-Z]\b
But it keeps grabbing both the S and P from S&P, and I didn't want to replace the \b with a (rather complex) group construction of all possible punctuation to solve this so I stopped searching.

Most likely your AntiVirus is blocking the use of a screen capture tool. Usually that behavior can be inhibited in the settings of your AV.

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Color Warlock
« Last post by Ath on August 25, 2017, 12:59 AM »
BTW...I was thinking at least .NET 4.0 for the .net version. Thoughts?
Well, .NET 4.0 is the last one supported on Windows XP, so for the ~3 users still on that platform it would be ideal... :tellme:

Haven't tried Color Warlock on *nix (and haven't scanned this thread if someone already did that), but it could possibly run there using Mono, so you may want to keep the current release available for 'backward compatibility', as not all .NET 4.0 features are ported to Mono (yet).

Thanks for the elaborate explanation.
Quite a list indeed.

I'll pass though, as it's totally not my cup of tea.

AFAICS, scintilla is OSS, so why can't you fetch the sources yourself and build that dll?
666
Dan,

You're not alone in having that kind of dreams... 8)

But you seem to have left out the most important piece of information: What is the goal of the plugin to be devised? What should it add to your DAW that currently doesn't exist?
It can't be the goal of just creating such a plugin, as I assume there's some kind of cookbook for that.

(And talking about commercialization of a yet non-existing product is somewhat premature, IMHO.)

I'm pretty sure there are capable enough developers here that can create such plugins, including myself, but I'm not sure I can, and want to, spend the time on such adventure. It has to be worth the effort, aside from any monetary reward(s).

Aha, refining my search found me RegAlyzer, and, great for you, it supports Spanish UI language!

With the proper regular expression you van find several terms in one search. (look for round braces for grouping, and the vertical pipe symbol). Or use a logical expression with AND/OR.

Have you googled for anything like that? (Try this link)

Basically non of the available tools has the feature of finding multiple values, unless they would support regular expressions, but these come a lot closer than the standard RegEdit

O&O RegEditor https://www.oo-softw...e.com/en/ooregeditor (free)

General Software Discussion / Re: Edit this Autoexec.bat?
« Last post by Ath on August 16, 2017, 12:01 PM »
IainB, Hulkbuster is trying to run FreeDOS, not an incarnation of Windows, AFAICS.

He just has to get the proper line-breaks in his autoexec.bat file (CR/LF, not a single CR or LF) to get stuff running

It also might be needed to not use SET PATH=... but the regular PATH ... command, but I don't know for sure, as I've never tried FreeDOS,
Spoiler
only several PC/MS-DOS versions from 2.0 (used since 1985/1986) and up to 6.x (Without Windows on top of it, later there was DOS 7.0 with Win95, AFAIR, but that doesn't count as a real DOS).


Well, if adding the proper line-feeds hasn't helped, does it work if you type the entire path to the executable, while having C:\ as the current directory?
It may expect some additional files in the current directory, so you may need to run a batch file to CD to the correct directory and then start the exe.
670
Please provide some more details:
- Operating system?
- OneDrive installed? if yes: disabled capture of the PrtScr key there?
- Other screenshot/capture tools installed?
- What AV is installed? Does it allow/block screenshot tools?
- Where are the screenshot files stored, local disk or network/nas?
671
What was that on-line storage and sync util that grabbed the PrtScr key and does 'undecent' things with it...? (hint: it sits in the systray area)

This is a bit more aggressive than I think is warranted in this particular audience.  We know that Contro is not a native English speaker, so is struggling through this.  If you can't work through this with him, it seems that a better approach for the community might be for you to ignore his threads?
Well, I've thought about both issues, and I still think it is in the right place and audience, as he's still pulling in new/other/related and unrelated info that further troubles the water (proof enough after your post...) and gives no or confusing answers to any questions asked. I won't ignore threads started by Contro as I think he needs (computer-)help, lots of it.



wraith808 please don't punish me.
Contro, wraith808 was trying to soften my reaction to your issue, and not pointing at you in any way.
We all know you can use all the help we have to offer, please help us helping you by a) not flooding your threads with small bits of non-related info, b) give complete details about the issue at hand, and c) give straight and simple answers on any question asked (like tomos requested)

Example:
I began this pc with only one monitor. And install several virtual desktop utilities like Virtual Dimension and others.
Knowing this from the original post would have been very helpful in tracking down the cause. There is a fair chance that one of those VD tools has installed or configured something in your system that is causing all this
From that time I observed the problem but give not importance because simple I was not using.
This is an indication that you need a lot of help in troubleshooting (anything), as the 'problem' has existed for quite a long time, and now you are making all this fuss about it? Why? Why now?

Yes, I still will offer help if and when I can, but I'll detach myself from this thread starting now

try to forget that and concentrate in determining the ghost process or service.
You really don't understand how troubleshooting works, do you? It's a process of elimination and lots of questions/information, not of any assumptions. Please re-read the quote below my posts...

As long as I can remember the three or more point are for a configurable desktops program. I think is from Microsoft.
What makes you think so? And what did you do to obtain them, as nobody in this thread knows them or how to enable them, and we're (nearly) all experienced Windows users :huh:

[rant]
As so often, your thread is full of fuzzy (non-)information and unrelated bits, and short on answers to questions that are asked. And yes, that bothers me, as it is very unhelpful in us trying to actually help you find a solution.
[/rant]

As said before: Check your video drivers settings and options for virtual desktop features, and, as mwb1100 suggested, remove the (probably) unused nVidia drivers from your system.

Aren't these dots a feature of the video card driver?, possibly enabled by default? these manufacturers often throw in 'unexpected features' with minor updates, but then it should be possible to disable the feature quite easily. You probably won't find that (driver)process using process explorer, IMHO

Can you please explain a bit more clear on what you try to achieve?

- Arrange your monitors within Windows?
- Make 'invisible' windows visible again after disconnecting the 6th monitor?
- Find an unknown tool that is hiding some of your windows?
- Solve an 'issue' with hotkeys that start applications on the no longer available 6th monitor?
