Well for the life of me I can not see why you would want to run this software - there are all kinds of alternate docks and menu type programs if you don't like the start menu, etc.

But I was able to duplicate your problem - it runs on win7 64bit, and works using RDP as well.

And it works on xp if your using the console - but if you rdp in yup get a ntdll.dll error.

I grabbed that analyser - attached is the log file.

tw32.exe.summary.txtFetching info...

But again -- I just don't see the point in this software.. But sure it was pretty kewl for win 3.1 ;)

http://www.launchy.net/ is one example of different methods of launching programs, there loads of them out there.

Is there Amarok for Windows?

Anyways, I am used to tabworks and it's twf format... I like the fact that all my "books" are stored in files I can easily backup, etc...

Can anyone make sense of that log? Why would it list Internet Explorer and Windows Media player in there? Where you running them at the time?

Well for sure was not running media player, and no for IE as well.

as to amarok - there is a windows version, atleast a test version

But isn't that a music player - not really a replacement for your start menu, etc.??

As to be used to it - so? IMHO it looks like CRAP! And is way more cluttered looking than the start menu, etc. With 7, i don't really even use the start menu any more just type in the first few letters of what Im looking for a search - and there you go.

Here you go this jetstart looks a lot nicer that that 3.1 software - and looks to have way more features as well.. And the tabs for your different types of applications are not sideways in EYE BLEEDING colors either ;)

edit: this looks pretty kewl as well

There a loads of these things out there - I can find it hard to believe that you can not find something you like that was actually coded in the last 10 years, ie 2k+

OK I figured out it works in 256 Color in an RDP Session. For home that's fine for me, but my I use my VM at school for everyday tasks and would like to have more than 256 Colors and my desktop on this VM is really crowded, it would be nice to remove some of these program icons...

    • The Google Home app gets video forwarding support and many more features

      By Aman Kumar · Posted

      The Google Home app gets video forwarding support and many more features by Aman Kumar Along with releasing the Android 16 update for supported Pixel devices, Google has also showcased a number of features coming to its Home app. First up is PiP, also known as picture-in-picture mode, which will be available for Nest Cams on any Google TV device you own. It’ll be similar to YouTube’s PiP, with which you must be familiar with. A small window will appear in a corner of the TV screen, allowing you to view your Nest Cams without interrupting your viewing experience. The feature is currently in public preview, and you can enroll to try it out before its public release. Another YouTube feature that Google is adding to its Home app is the ability to jump 10 seconds forward or backward in recorded videos. This feature ensures that you don't have to go through the entire footage to locate the moment you’re looking for. Google mentioned in its blog post that it is adding more controls to the Google Home web app. Currently, the web app offers limited functionality, such as setting automations and viewing cameras, but soon you’ll be able to manage more things through it, such as adjusting lighting, controlling temperature, and locking or unlocking the door. Google’s AI model, Gemini, is also getting more controls in the Home app. You can use natural language in the Gemini app to search for specific footage in the camera history. Furthermore, the fallback assistant experience that broadcast commands use is also being updated. You’ll now be able to use your voice to broadcast messages through the connected speakers in your home. The Google blog post also mentions that you are no longer required to use the standalone Nest app to receive smoke and other critical alerts. You can now view the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) status directly in the Home app. You’ll also be able to run safety checkups and hush alarms through the Home app. In addition to all these features, Google is also making the automation creation process much quicker, will allow you to add more tiles to the Home app Favorites section, and will let you create different Favorites for any other device you use, such as your smartwatch. The Home app will now also support third-party Matter locks. Similar to the Nest x Yale lock, you’ll be able to control various settings of these third-party locks, like managing household access, creating guest profiles, and more.

    • The K2 HE Special Edition review - Keychron refines the magnetic switch keyboard game

      By farmeunit · Posted

      I was a little disappointed with mine compared to the Lemokey P1, for example. Seemed cheap compared to all aluminum. But I liked the look to go with my Fractal North. Ended up getting a Keychron Q1 HE and a Lemokey L5 HE. Love the L5, which replaced my P1. The definitely aren't light boards.
