  1. One person that comes to mind that might have experience in installing an updated XP 64 OS is 5eraph. Cheers and Regards
  2. What I meant was that "C:\Program" must really be meant to point to "C:\Program Files\SomeFolder\SomeFile". When a batch type program is executed that references such a path, and such a path is not handled correctly by enclosing the path in quotes, such as "FullPathNameWithSpaces", then you will usually get the "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program'. etc." type of error. Cheers and Regards
  3. Are you using Start8 or StartIsBack in addition to AG? If so, you probably need to disable taskbar translucency in that other app. Cheers and Regards
  4. You could try this solution. Cheers and Regards
  5. To the best of my knowledge from what I have read in this thread: 1) Approx. I week 2) No 3) None identified in the version that is to be released 4) No Cheers and Regards
  6. As I see it, those two timer routines are different in four different places, shown here. (I moved one line to group it with related lines but I don't think it will make any difference. I also added extra blank lines so the two pieces of code would have the same number of lines.) Works in IE8 function ins_iTimer(){position="timers.js";whatfunc="ins_iTimer()";var now=new Date();[-1-]var nowSecs=(now.getHours()*60*60) + (now.getMinutes()*60) + now.getSeconds();var elapsedSecs=nowSecs - ins_startSecs;[/-1-] var hours=Math.floor(elapsedSecs/3600);elapsedSecs=elapsedSecs - (hours*3600);var minutes=Math.floor(elapsedSecs/60);[-2-]elapsedSecs=elapsedSecs - (minutes*60);var seconds=elapsedSecs;[/-2-][-3-]var txt="";txt=((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours;txt += ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes;txt += ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds;document.getElementById("TimerDisplay").innerHTML=txt;[/-3-][-4-] [/-4-]}Works in IE10 function ins_iTimer(){position="timers.js";whatfunc="ins_iTimer()";var now=new Date();[-1-]var elapsedSecs=((now.getHours()*60*60) + (now.getMinutes()*60) + now.getSeconds()) - ins_startSecs; [/-1-] var hours=Math.floor(elapsedSecs/3600);elapsedSecs=elapsedSecs - (hours*3600);var minutes=Math.floor(elapsedSecs/60);[-2-]var seconds=elapsedSecs - (minutes*60); [/-2-][-3-]document.getElementById("TimerDisplay").innerHTML=((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours + ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes + ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds; [/-3-][-4-]var timerID=setTimeout("ins_iTimer()",1000); // Update display[/-4-]}I can't imagine that the basic JaveScript math and variable assignments should act differently between IE8 and IE10, which means that the difference should be caused by either [-3-] or [-4-]. Assuming I am right, then: Should work in IE8 function ins_iTimer(){position="timers.js";whatfunc="ins_iTimer()"; var now=new Date();var elapsedSecs=((now.getHours()*60*60) + (now.getMinutes()*60) + now.getSeconds()) - ins_startSecs;var hours=Math.floor(elapsedSecs/3600);elapsedSecs=elapsedSecs - (hours*3600);var minutes=Math.floor(elapsedSecs/60);var seconds=elapsedSecs - (minutes*60); var txt=((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours + ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes + ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds;document.getElementById("TimerDisplay").innerHTML=txt;}Should work in IE10 function ins_iTimer(){position="timers.js";whatfunc="ins_iTimer()"; var now=new Date();var elapsedSecs=((now.getHours()*60*60) + (now.getMinutes()*60) + now.getSeconds()) - ins_startSecs;var hours=Math.floor(elapsedSecs/3600);elapsedSecs=elapsedSecs - (hours*3600);var minutes=Math.floor(elapsedSecs/60);var seconds=elapsedSecs - (minutes*60); document.getElementById("TimerDisplay").innerHTML=((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours + ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes + ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds;var timerID=setTimeout("ins_iTimer()",1000); // Update display}If I am not right for some reason, then you can swap out [-1-], then [-2-], etc until you narrow it down further as to which lines are really causing the problem. Did you mean to leave [-4-] out of the IE8 version? Anyway, assuming you can narrow it down to as few a number of lines as possible that need to be handled differently in the different versions of IE, and assuming you can tell on which version of IE that WPI is currently running, I would think that you should be able to run the appropriate set of lines using logic similar to: If IE10 then {IE10 lines} else {IE8 lines} What does the If logic lines you have tried look like? Handling the different browser requirements has always been the bane of HTML coding. Good luck! Cheers and Regards
  7. That looks like a problem with spaces in the path name not being handled correctly. Cheers and Regards
  8. Just 1. Now you'll need to get two different people to both send you messages and see what happens. Cheers and Regards
  9. I'm not sure what you mean by non-existing time. Isn't that referring to 14 minutes after midnight and 10:20 AM the same morning, ie a 10 hour and 6 minute time period? EDIT: I had 1 new conversation in my inbox just now, ie your response, so for me at least, it seems to working correctly. But apparently from your experience, not consistently. Cheers and Regards
  10. @ping12, Can you please post more details? What worked before and what does it do now? Have you done anything else at all that could have effected this behavior? What have you tried to fix it? What do you mean by "permanently"? What happens after you uninstall? Can you post any logs or screenshots that help explain the situation? Please provide hardware and software descriptions if that could possibly have any impact. etc, etc Cheers and Regards
  11. I think there is an indicator. I sent you a test PM so that you can verify it. Cheers and Regards
  12. I had to post and say that even though most of my experiences with ISP tech support has been marginal at best, every once in a while you end up with a good one. Just last week I had a problem where my internet went down for several hours after having been up and down occasionally over the last several weeks, though the phone and TV of my combined bundled service seemed fine. So I figured it was probably the cable modem, even though it was fairly new, but I put in a call to tech support anyway. I got someone on the phone very quickly, (after I bypassed the automated help system which I still detest). The tech, who was from and located in my country and was a native speaker of my language, was able to verify that the modem was indeed off line, and also was able to look back through their history to see that I had been off line far more often than I knew I had been, along with verifying the times that I knew about. The tech said that he could also tell that at least one of the signal levels seemed a bit off and thought that it was more likely a problem external to the house rather than the cable modem, but of course he couldn't be sure since he couldn't access the modem remotely to access it's logs. I asked why the internet would be down when the TV and phone remained up if it was a problem external to the house and everything came in on the same cable, and he said that they were on different frequencies and the internet was sometimes a bit more finicky than the other two. He went ahead and set up a service call. I said I could run to town and swap out the cable modem anyway "just in case". He then asked how long that would take, and, after I told him, he suggested that he call me back when I expected I would be back so he could talk me through the installation and handle the activation of it for me, which is required here. That surprised the heck out of me but I said sure, OK, even though I figured I could handle it on my own. Anyway, before I could get ready and go out to exchange the cable modem, the internet came back up again, (of course), so I didn't go. But a few hours later, at the agreed upon time, the tech called back! He went ahead and confirmed everything, said that some of the signals were definitely not up to spec, and was able to confirm an earlier time for my service call with a tighter scheduling window, (2 hours instead of 4). A day and a half later the service guy showed up on time. (My internet had remained up in the meantime.) He couldn't find anything wrong out on the pole, but thought that the line from the pole to the house looked rather old, so he changed it out. Afterwards, he said that when he took the old line down that he thought it was likely that it had gotten some water in it, affecting the signal transmission. That definitely seemed logical to me since this has been the second wettest year on record for this area. He also changed out the box that is screwed to the side of the house, installed a new ground wire, changed out the signal splitters used inside the house, and changed out every single cable connector throughout the house to the ones that the cable company currently approved. He even left me a dozen or so extra connectors in case I wanted to make any wiring changes myself later. All told, the work he did improved the signal strength about 4 dB, measured at the input to the cable modem, which is significant. When he left, he gave me his card with his personal cell number so I could call him directly if I had any problems or questions. I haven't had any problems since then. This was the most professional and pleasant ISP service experience that I have ever had. It kind of reaffirms my faith in humanity. Cheers and Regards
  13. I think the topic is this one. Cheers and Regards
  14. IPB stands for IP.Board which is the group that makes the forum software that MSFN and many other forums use. Cheers and Regards
  15. I don't see that in your info in the left panel, or in anyone else's, but I do see it in mine. Apparently, each member only sees it in their own panel. Why it needs to be there at all, or at least as long as it is "0", I have no idea. I would think it can be turned off. Cheers and Regards
  16. @Charlotte, you might be interested in looking over this thread over at WinCert that documents some of these same types of IPBoard problems, particularly the ones regarding the edit box, that occurred as WinCert updated their version of IPBoard to I think the same one that we are now using here. Some of the annoyances still exist, even after over six months of complaints and problem reports posted over at IPBoard.. Cheers and Regards
  17. OK, the BBCode mode button is now visible and working. One thing I really hate about the way this new version works is that the helpful editing buttons, insert link, bold, underline, etc, are ONLY available in WYSIWYG mode. In BBCode mode you have to do all of that manually. The old version had those buttons available in BBCode mode, and yes I know that the old version didn't have a WYSIWYG mode at all, I just liked the old version better. This comment is not directed at the MSFN staff, but just a complaint about the way that IPBoard messed up something that was working perfectly well already. EDIT: looks like LoneCrusader already made the same complaint. LOL EDIT2: Another complaint is that in BBCode mode word wrap does not function in the edit box, at least not when using any version of Chrome. This is a known problem that the IPBoard folks say is a problem with Chrome, not with the IPBoard software, but I have a hard time believing that. Many thanks for all your hard work xper! Cheers and Regards
  18. It's there, it's the &amp;lt; &amp;gt; icon in the editor. Hover it and you'll see it says Code.I'm not seeing this. What do I do to switch back and forth between the two modes, ie Code and WYSIWYG? Can you show me a screenshot?And is there a reason that it no longer shows who and when the quote is from? (such as the one from Tarun above) Cheers and Regards

    XP Questions

    Sorry submix8c. I can usually follow your posts, but this time I'm afraid I agree with the above statement. When you say option#1 etc, that is an answer to what question? If this was directed as a response to the first post in this thread, then I guess it is in response to this -- But that is totally a guess, as it really is not very clear. Cheers and Regards
  20. Thank you. Cheers and Regards
  21. Let me get this straight. You boot from the ME install CD, and if you choose the option to "Start computer without CD-ROM support" option, then you are able to get into "MS-DOS"? Which is loaded from where, the CD right? But you chose the "without CD-ROM support" option, so how is that possible? And if that somehow is possible, then that seems to indicate that the CD driver that it is loading is OK, doesn't it? Sorry, it has been a loooong time since I've messed with any form of 9x, so I must be missing something obvious. Cheers and Regards
  22. The .7z file has been compressed in the 7-Zip format. You need a program that understands the .7z format in order to decompress it. 7-Zip is a free program that can do that for you, but there are others. Cheers and Regards
  23. But from what I understand from the OP, the file dates were NOT changed, but the content WAS? Very mysterious. Cheers and Regards
  24. We'll be interested if you come up with a solution that works for you. Cheers and Regards
  25. I know one of the differences is whether the cmd window remains visible while the commend is executing or merely flashes briefly, and I'm sorry but I don't remember which format does what. And, of course, we haven't mentioned about when, or whether, it is helpful to include "/wait" along with "start", but I know there is some misunderstanding/disagreement about that. Cheers and Regards
