Hi guys!

I'm hving some trouble with neowin_news and neowin_software script.

The script works just if i press the TEST SCRIPT button, else it do not "reloads", so I have to open config and click TEST SCRIPT everytime I want to check if there is some new messages in Neowin.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks,

Can anyone out there help me set up a calendar using Extended Calendar ?? I am using Samurize .84b, and any config examples for the calendar I have tried I can't get to work. I would really like help. I am new to using Samurize so sorry if this has been asked before, I checked the rest of this forum, but didn't really find anything to help.

I appreciate anyone who could help me !!!!

Thanks

I'm trying to get the [ExtendedWeather.vbs] [Wind] to work with "Moncton, Canada". Looking at the function, it's obvious it's not going to work but I don't know how to make it work. It gives me "Type mismatch: 'speed'".

Function Wind
	If checkright = "OK" Then
	Wind = GetHTMLValue("<!-- insert wind --> ","</TD>", "")
	If mph = false then
 ? spos = instrrev(Wind, "at ")+3
 ? chrs = instrrev(Wind, " ") - spos
 ?speed = Mid(wind, spos, chrs)
	nspeed = round(speed * 1.609344)
 ? Wind = replace(wind, speed, nspeed)
 ? Wind = replace(wind, "mph", "km/h")
 ?End If
	Else
 ?Win = "N/A"
	End If
End Function

And my [ExtendedWeather.vbs] [HighLowToday] isn't working either. "Invalid procedure call or argument".

Function HighLowToday
	HighLowToday = ""
	If checkright = "OK" Then
 ?HighLowToday = GetHTMLValue("<TD CLASS=inDentWhite10DayA5><DIV ALIGN=CENTER><B>","</B>", "")
 ?High = Mid(HighLowToday, 1, InStr(HighLowToday, "/")-1)
 ? Low = HighLowToday
 ?If HighLowToday <> "N/A" And High <> "" Then
 ? ?Low = Mid(HighLowToday, InStr(HighLowToday, "/")+1)
 ? ' Strip off trailing °
 ? HighLowToday = Mid(High, 1, InStr(High, "°")-1)
 ? if celcius then HighLowToday = round((5/9)*(HighLowToday -32))
 ? if celcius then HighLowToday = HighLowToday & "?C" else HighLowToday = HighLowToday & "?F"
 ?End If

 ? If HighLowToday <> "N/A" Then
 ? ?Low = Mid(Low, 1, InStr(Low, "°")-1)
 ? ?if celcius then Low = round((5/9)*(Low -32))
 ? ?if celcius then Low = Low & "?C" else Low = Low & "?F"
 ? ?If HighLowToday <> "" Then
 ? ? ?HighLowToday = HighLowToday & "/"
 ? ?End If
 ? ?HighLowToday = HighLowToday & Low
 ? ?End If
 ? ?Else
 ?HighLowToday = "N/A"
	End If
End Function

Does anyone have an updated version of ExtendedWeather.vbs?

I'm using 0.63c. As I matter of fact, I tried to load up my .ini files again in 0.84 a few minutes ago and it just doesn't work.

If I open the .ini files in the editor in 0.84, it doesn't work either.

I'm clueless... I first thought it was because of my old video card (TNT2 Ultra), but since you are having this problem too, I guess it's not.

timmy - the site is down pretty often, try again latah

for some reason, my weather isn't auto updating... i have the value set for 3 minutes in the code, but it won't update... i came home tonite and it was still the weather from when i left, even though it was 10 degrees cooler... if i reload it though, i get the new time... any ideas?

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
