Has Microsoft an url for that? If not, then forget about it! The same as SP3......also not official..

Not to get to far off subject.. But, dont want them.. Then dotn use them..

They refer to it on several sites as "Unofficial SP3".. right there.. "Unofficial"... 2nd, how many service packs have you installed/slipstreamed or for that matter even downloaded in your life? Last I check service packs tend to be one (relatively) large signed exe.. Not a rar file containing many many exes.

BTW, want to check if a hotfix exists.. Take this url

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890582/EN-US/

replace 890582 with whatever the kb number in the file name is.

So, for this one with the updated shell32.dll file we get....

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906472/EN-US/

If it is something effecting you.. try it at you own risk just like it says at the bottom of the page at that url.. You can not donwload the unofficial ones from MS without getting ahold of them and giving you a temporary download link. That is why he hosted it on rapidshare so we dont all have to contact them if we want to give it a try.

BTW (again), thanks Knacki99 (and all other for posting info regarding new hotfixes. The information for unnofficial ones that are not on windows update can be a pain to find on Microsoft's technet..

Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet for Windows XP

The Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet adds a new 'Color' item to the Windows control panel, providing a single place to view and edit color management settings in Windows XP. Using it, you can install and uninstall color profiles, change color profile associations for displays, printers and scanners, view detailed properties for color profiles (including a 3D rendering of the color space gamut), and rename color profiles, keeping the filenames and "internal" names consistent.

This tool also enables Windows to automatically adjust the gamut curve of the display when a color profile containing gamut table information is set as the default profile for the display. Typically, such profiles are created by custom monitor calibration tools, such as those available from ColorVision, GretagMacbeth, and X-Rite. If a color profile has this information, it is shown with an asterisk (*) in the user interface.

Using the Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet, you can:

* Install and uninstall ICC color profiles

* Inspect, rename, and compare two different color profiles

* View a 3D graphics plot of color profile color gamuts

* Associate color profiles with devices such as printers, monitors, and scanners

* Apply custom color gamut adjustments to one or more displays ?on the fly?

* Set up display calibration reminders at intervals you specify

Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet for Windows XP

I installed this on XP SP2 all updates, .NET framework 1.1 +hotfix, but the applet fails to open. Uninstalled, redownloaded, reinstalled, still does not work.

May be best to wait to see if others have similar problem.

parkd1,

Well, I posted on MS newsgroups (XP general) and two other people report the same problem I have with the color control applet not opening; no solution offered. If you have suggestions, please let me know.

sorry if this is somewhat OT for this thread, maybe I should start one on another board?

Further to previous (too late to edit), was advised that a new download version is available, (not mentioned as such on the MS site). This differs by 16 bytes from the previous download, and works on my PC and on those of the others who had problems with the original.

So if the color control applet is added to AP, please check that the download exe file is 1,506,352 bytes, MD5 hash 7BE311F9056BD32B53D74C5F78F8C2E3,

not 1,506,368 bytes MD5 hash DAB968C4DE999F53236B0318B9C6AD9E of the old one.

So if the color control applet is added to AP, please check that the download exe file is 1,506,352 bytes, MD5 hash? 7BE311F9056BD32B53D74C5F78F8C2E3,not>1,506,368> bytes MD5 hash DAB968C4DE999F53236B0318B9C6AD9E of the old one.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
