Make sure that you save the config file. Also, make sure that you don't have a setting checked that isn't supported by your version of PPC (Right click option isn't enabled on the current standard versions, so don't check that) and things like that. PearGUI is my favorite front end right now. Simple and effective!

Which version supports the right-click functionality?

I have the SDL version, but when I right-click, nothing happens.

Also, on a related note, i tried installing Azureus in PearPC yesterday and it keeps crashing. Why?

I heard the newest version 2.1.0.0 is not running right on OS X. Try one of the earlier versions.

Thank you, I mashed some keys while holding F9 and it seems to be Shift + F9.

Now, is there any way to get Fullscreen on a secondary monitor?

If you have an nVidia card, go to your display properties. Click the Settings tab, go to Advanced, go to the nVidia control panel. Look for the Overlay and Full Screen options. Find the one that controls which display will be the "full screen" display. Select your Secondary monitor. Then try Shift-F12 in PearPC. It should go to monitor 2.

Yes, is there any way of capturing the mouse into the window other than going fullscreen, its a pain trying to position it right.

*edit* After i reboot PearPC it comes back to the login screen, i click my login and check my password is in right and i get a pop up box saying

"You cannot continue logging in at this time, There is a problem that prevents you from logging in at this time, Please contact your system administrator for help"

any ideas?

I can't log in this error comes up:

I get that everytime i log into OS X, i just push OK and everything is good. i have a feeling that it has something to do with .mac, but dont hold me too it as my experiance with OS X is still fairly lacking. in anycase, if you want to bypass that error, go into users in system preferences and turn on auto login for your user. when i had auto login turned on, i did not recieve that message.

I am having a new problem with PearPC - SDL : it seems that my arrow keys no longer work. Is this a known bug? For instance, I can't key through a block of text, and can't use Option-Shift-Home/End to erase the address bar in my browser. For now, I can get around using the mouse and cursor as an i-beam. If I need to erase the address bar, 3 clicks and backspace.

But why the fark isn't the keyboard working?

      You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

      Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
