I present to you the first ALPHA (branded as 'BETA') of nw|assistant...

Still doesn't do all that much - several known issues such as it keeps bugging you every 5mins about your new PMs (will be fixed soon!)

Updates itself every 5mins (this is hardcoded cant be changed - to be fixed soon!)

ermm... other miscellaneous issues - this is just to check the app works and gets member details without crashing out with an error!

MAKE SURE:

- neowin login is set to "remember me"

- you have vb6 runtime installed

- you have msinet.ocx control installed and registered

ENJOY!

nwassistant.exe

Heh, well I'm not actually using it atm, since being a new member here (although I joined ages ago I forgot about this board for a while, lol!) I don't get much in the way of PMs (yet!). And I'm kinda busy installing / uninstalling programs to find silent install switches to write to bat files for unattended/automated setup of XP SP2 DVD, which doesn't leave me much time for beta testing anything (including real life, lol)...

Cod

This is a really cool idea, but it needs to be componetized so it can be a plugin for, say, Outlook. I already have AIM and Outlook running along with my browser, I just don't want more apps that need to be run all the time on my computer. Still, great idea.

EDIT: It tells me I don't have Neowin set to remember me (I do)

I'm running Windows Server 2003 and I have VB6 installed. Feel free to pass me the source if you want me to track the error down =)

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
