oh, that. yes, a bit annoying, but i can cope with it.

 

Not a good plan leaving those core skills behind? One never knows when CDE
will make them essential again.

 

Well, I left the technical world before Vista was released, so I don't
really know how I'm supposed to keep up.

True. But there's demand for Black Belts, so I should be okay.

 

People in proper corporate IT seem to have mostly ignored Vista realising it
was a POS, an ME type product. Waiting for something decent to come along.

 

I'm using Thunderbird here, but the scrolling has stopped working for
some reason.
I guess that might put Tbird out of the running.

I'll just add my voice to the general positive comments. I'm running
it on my desktop at home and my HTTP. The updates to Media Center are
especially good.

The only real issue I've noticed is problems with accessing NAS
devices. I've got a cheap NAS (with all my music on it, along with
other things) but W7 is unhappy to reference it directly - just trying
\\NAS1 (its name) gives "network error (1208)". You can get round
this and reference named shares, but even then I can't persuade Media
Player to build a library from the files on the NAS. A lot of
googling has confirmed the problem, but not found a solution.

 

Gravity.

We had rather a lot of people complaining that it didn't work properly
on Vista so we're created a new installer and changed the location of
all data files to be Vista / Windows 7 compliant.

It be very happy with Vista and Windows 7 now.

Latest version (v2.9.9) will be available later this evening.

 

Is there any way you could rewrite it to use an ini file rather than
the registry, so it could be run off a USB stick on multiple machines?

 

Currently my pet hate, programs that use the fucking registry.
