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...

    • Microsoft employee behind AnduinOS releases more updates, here's how to upgrade

      By adrynalyne · Posted

      Needs to happen quicker IMO. Pretty dang sick of the same articles reworded five different ways and reposted. I’m sure some people like reading the typical MS tells you why Windows 11 is better article over and over or the minute by minute countdown on the EOL of Windows 10, but I’m not one of them.

      You must feel left out. I gave you an upvote to feel better.
    • Amarok 3.3 Beta 2 replaces Phonon API with GStreamer

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Amarok 3.3 Beta 2 replaces Phonon API with GStreamer by David Uzondu Audio players come and go, but one of the long-standing pack leaders is Amarok, a KDE project that has been around since 2003. This player was an essential application for anyone who ran a KDE 3 system, mostly because its interface was simple and did not get in your way. After spending some time in hibernation following the 2.x series, development has picked up again. Now we have version 3.3 Beta 2, bringing some changes under the hood. The most important of which is a complete overhaul of the audio engine. The developers have ditched the old Phonon multimedia framework on Qt6 and reworked everything to use GStreamer instead. The developers have also partially restored CUE sheet support, which is fantastic news for anyone who keeps albums as single audio files. ReplayGain logic has been improved to apply a default fallback value for tracks without loudness data, helping to even out the volume. Some work was also done to prevent potential database issues that could happen during library scans. This release also finalizes some major changes that were introduced in the first beta, as outlined below: Dropping support for Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5 entirely. It is Qt6 from here on out. Updating the database character set to allow full UTF-8 values, which is great for international music collections. Fixing a year 2038 bug for dates stored in the database. Removing TagLib extras support, which affects RealMedia and Audible files. Now, before you rush off to install it, there are a couple of things to know. Because the first beta updated the database schema, downgrading from this beta back to an older version is not really possible unless you manually backed up your music library first. Also, if you are a big Last.fm user, its official library has not caught up with the Qt6 world yet. You will need a specific build from a repository like this one to get those features working for now. If you are feeling adventurous and want to try the new beta, you will probably have to build it yourself. For that, you can check out the project on GitLab for the source code and guidance. Some Linux distributions might also package the beta in their testing or unstable repositories, so it is worth a look there, too. You can grab the latest stable version of Amarok on Linux via FlatHub.

    • Microsoft lets you have extra year of Windows 10 updates for free

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      The ethical thing for MS to do (a foreign concept) would be to continue full support for WIndows-10; until WIndows-11 is stable and mature enough to be considered reliable. Give users the ability to get decent use out of hardware they have bought, that MS decided are no longer able to run WIndows-11.
