WinBubble, Customize and Tweak your Windows Vista Easily


Recommended Posts

6 hours ago after the release, I made a mistake. I uploaded the wrong file... I quickly change it but I think some of you may downloaded wrong file (12 people). It may give some messages but it's fine. Please redownload the new file...

I'm really sorry about that...

+LCG: open winBubble > miscellaneous tab > Click "windows explorer (all files)" > type "WinAmp" or any in the name > Click browse button for the path of .exe file (command) > at the end of the command add this "%1"

Name: WinAmp

command: [path] %1

Click the Add button

Enjoy!!!

I gotta say, while I do like your app, its your enthusiasm that keeps me coming back. In fact when I saw the WinBubble update at Majorgeeks I came to this thread to see how excited you probably where. Keep it up.

Stop...What the... They gave the updated file Editor's PICK!!! I don't know that.

Wow!!! Great thanks to all the people who sent email and suggestions.

As I promised, This VERSION IS FOR THE USERS SUGGESTIONS and TIPS.

http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2007/11/wi...atures-gap.html

Hello guys, Winbubble 1.72 was released!

I know NO Software is Perfect But I will try to create one.

This new version of WinBubble is Aimed to create

a 100% Bug-Free program.

After a month of study, There are several kinds of bugs in Softwares.

Some of these are:

1. A Bug that is created due to new features and complexity of Programming Logic

2. A Bug created by the USER

3. A Bug created by another Software.

I have added the Anti-Bug feature, it can detect and prevent Some bugs that can be created

due to USERS intervention...

This feature pops up in my head this week, I'm so excited to write the code and because of

that, my mind is always floating and last night After my Work, I was hit by a motorcycle.

Luckily, I Only got minor bruises and injuries.

Until now, my ear is swelling :( But I need to write and share this to all of you.

Anyway, I hope all of you will like this :)

*Please share your thoughts

I'd love to try this, but 64bit here!

I'll bookmark this and check back for support in the future smile.gif

Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot.

Anyway, If I'm going to develop a 64-bit version. I need to buy a new 64-bit PC.

Just have seen the 64-bit benchmarks and it looks promising.

If anybody wants to share or donate for the development of the new version.

Thanks in advance...

Sam here...I switched to 64 bit a while ago and would love to try WinBubble...

I love to create s 64-bit version but the problem is...

There is no REAL MONEY for WinBubble. WinBubble is totally free.

Anyway, I'll think of Something.

Donations?

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
