One of the key things about the digitial scales is that you can zero them out after you put a bowl on them -- the manual ones like the one you have their app make it harder to compensate for weight of container.

Elaborating on what 40hz said: After you eliminate the other possibilities by swapping the graphics card, ram, reseating all cables, and resetting the bios, the next logical step is probably to just *assume* that the motherboard is the culprit, and replace it.

Nice. I have a kitchen scale too but i can never find an excuse to use it..

You've inspired me to post about a very low-tech kitchen gadget that I occasionally have use of, a Bag-Holder-Opener:



Useful for holding a bag open so you can use your hands to pour stuff into the bag.

I try to use existing libraries whenever i can, though it definitely has it's pros and cons.

The advantage is you usually can get work done faster.. The disadvantage is that when something doesn't work right, it's a pain to have to dig into someone else's code.

I'm always suspicious of RAM with these kinds of symptoms.
Sometimes it's just a matter of removing the ram and re-seating just one stick at a time.

not braindead -- your original points are still valid -- i should add some variable replacements to refer to the current drive for portable use.

it's just that on a new default portable install it should come up with "Screenshots" as the screenshot folder which is exactly what you wanted -- you just confused it when you put in your full path explicitly.

In the portable mode try just setting screenshot directory to: Screenshots

I see what you mean.  I don't think it's a new thing.. I think it has to do with CHS starting the focus in the search/filter edit box, and it must have behaved like this for quite some time.

Can you give me a little more background? Is this your first install of CHS? Or did you just upgrade and you're suddenly getting this error?
Are you using the portable version or the installer? What operating system?

Bugfix update -- could be important for anyone using an app that has not behaved well with CHS (or other clipboard tools) in the past.

v2.18.01 - May 18, 2013

• [BugFix] Several bug fixes to try to handle applications that CHS has had trouble capturing from in the past (Zim Desktop) and that generate excessive clipboard messages, and to avoid delayed captures in Open Office / Libre Office due to a bug in those programs.
• [BugFix] Fixed disk-not-in-drive error and error creating initial database lock file that could happen on some startups.
• [Feature] Added option to check for updates at startup.

The control I use for my toolbars and menus (at least in Screenshot Captor) is Toolbar2000 (Screenshot Captor is written in C++ Builder).

It may be that it's just not saving the settings on system shutdown.  Try changing dock position, then exiting Desktop Coral, then restarting.

I think it should be up to each person to set their targets -- but everyone should come up with something concrete they so don't cheat.
Write down your 30 day exercise plan and keep a checklist to keep you on track.
