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 lets you have extra year of Windows 10 updates for free

      Dude, if that's all your mom does on her computer, then Linux is perfect for her. Your mom is the ideal Linux user, believe it or not. I personally recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon, as it's very Windows-like in terms of UI and UX. https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=319 Just pick any mirror and away you go. You can try it as a live image before installing it to see if your mom will actually like it.

      Even Edge on Android supports extensions like AdGuard and uBlock and it has its own ad blocked integrated as well. Google Chrome is actually the worst mobile browser if you're worried about ads and privacy.

      I mentioned cable service one pays for yet you still see ads. What's the difference if it's a service or a device? Sure cable and streaming services are optional but your not watching a whole lot in the way of content on your TV without them. No one is required to use Apple Pay/Wallet and the fact it can't be uninstalled is not really relevant to anything. It was mentioned a setting is coming to disable those ads even if one is using the free service. As far as I know those disclaimers are in the end user agreement. No one reads them. LOL It could be a pop-up message but most would just "click" past it. Regardless, everyone already knows they will see ads on their devices at some point and should not be surprised. There is a lot of intrusive advertising out there. Just walk outside your house and go anywhere and your eyes will be assaulted with ads. That is something I wish would be regulated more. TBH I see zero ads on my PCs (Linux and ad-blockers FTW!) and ads on my phone and tablet are very limited. One ad from Apple Pay/Wallet (that I have not seen on my iPad) is not even making my top 100 concerns.

      I have Windows 11 on only one machine; it will stay that way for the foreseeable future. (Windows Vista and Windows 10 are the predominant operating systems on these machines).
