asking a question that may have been answered but trawling thought the off topic stuff does not help has the key changed for battery mode - on 2 laptops with this version Aeroglass works on battery - have used AeroglassGUI to set the modes but it does nothing sure on earlier versions it worked apologies if i have missed something - maybe a cleanup of the thread would be helpful - debate is good but [maybe] in a separate thread

thanks - hopefully just a bug in this version

have never used homegroup and had checked it was not set - am stumped for the reasons for this - just copied al the share names that a windows 8 pc uses and thats worked - so i can see everything even if 10 cannot most odd but its only a test system and will be deleted as and when but if thats as it is would like to find a way for things to work correctly

hmmmm - just tried a scanner and it found everything on the network - so will dig into settings as i guess i have something wrong

not yet - that was on my list of todo things - this is my first look at 10 apart from a very early build so my initial thoughts were to ask others who have tried it will try a scanner i also have an access point as well as the netgear wifi router - i now realise the laptop i use with win8.1 connects via the access point whilst the 10 laptop connects via netgear wifi - my thoughts are that cannot matter but has to be tested and eliminated to be sure

thanks for the reply - there are no Dlink drivers that i know of - they are identical NAS boxes running the same firmware - the differences - if it matters is the ip address [obviously] and the way they connect on the network the one that can be seen is connected directly to the router - the one that cannot be seen is connected to a switch which is then connected to the router as stated windows 8.1 sees both of them

just installed the latest build on a spare laptop - went on ok and am wandering round it but have come up against something i dont understand or can find any way forward On my home network i have 2 Dlink NAS boxes plus a share drive on the USB port of a Netgear router on the laptop i am typing this [win8.1] all those devices are seen in networks and in my computer - they can go away sometimes when using wifi but are always there if i use a lan cable on windows 10 for reasons i cannot understand it sees one of the Dlink NAS devices in networks - matters not if wired via a lan cable or wifi - no matter what i do i cannot see any of the other devices in networks or my computer - i also cannot map the drives - i can access the nas via its address in a browser - i can see another laptop where a drive is shared if i could not see the one NAS i would think either networks were a work in progress or i had something wrong - but the fact i can see one NAS confuses me as ever my question is what am i doing wrong - that apart has anybody any ideas

i would have been more surprised if you had not said that - saying it does not make it true - just your version of the truth - maybe

If you were to go to this link and read the comments, you would know that he has asked for beta tested for help! And yes, it does cause problems if you see some of the feedback on using it. i think you need to go there - there are now 2 cracks - both interesting - 1st one was asking for beta testers and an update was issued based on that which people say worked - there is now a link to a different one that is simply BM's program cracked as far as i know - the one there seems a little unofficial but it does not take much to trace back to the original - as to problems have you tried it or just based your comment on comments over there sooner or later this was forced to happen - BM has imo brought much of it on himself - his work - his program - his rules i agree but he has produced something that many want and then got all defensive - again his right - but it seems to have got to a point that people were going to crack it just to do it - trace back to other sites and theres poor comments and some vitriol against BM - there should be no need for stuff like that - had it been marketed in a normal way i dont think it would have got half the attention it has and @NoelC - why slime - there will always be someone - its the way of the world or PC's - again if BM had not gone the route he has i dont think people would have bothered - its no game changer - 99% of those using win8 will not know of it i guess as its not marketed - maybe BM is happy with the donation model - it must have paid him something

thats a great post - the mods and others do their best to stop any joining and posting links and someone who has been around a while does it - you note i delete the link in the quote above as it seems anybody who posts cracks gets banned - why i dont know but maybe thats the rule unless BM can come up with something wonderful i guess the money flow has stopped - he will tell us it was never done for money so it wont matter the donation model was always flawed imo and just set AeroGlass up for cracking - people have never known where they stood with the obtaining of keys sure BM will rubbish the crack telling us it will end in tears with black screens or locked up pc's just as he did with the earlier one - time will tell

its all about the money flow now - hence the speed in getting the new website up - it has always puzzled me that BM shouts hard and long that its done in his spare time and that donations are to help development - i dont expect to be paid for what i do in my spare time - had he said this was his job/only income that would be different - the software and what it does is excellent but it is now a cash cow

all true but there is a lot of kit out there that is still 32bit that works fine - i have 8 on 4 laptops and one desktop - only one of those is 64bit - the others for what they are used for are fine - but there is no reason to keep them on XP, vista or 7 especially as 8 could be had officially for very little money in the early days i fully agree a 64bit system is better but only if you need it

Why would anyone Still want to use a 32-bit OS?, Especially when all the processors are 64-bit now.. what about all the old machines out there that can run 8 - not everyone has a 64bit system

file has gone

its for a drive on the network - slightly different to a normal nas drive in that it needs software on each pc that wants access - bit old technology now - made by XIMETA - and that was and is the problem stop the service and all is back to normal - will have to put up with it - but at least i know the problem how you saw that i have no idea but we all have our own knowledge thanks for your time and the solution tony

thanks - will have a play and had to came back to say thanks - worked a treat - but you knew that

hi - have followed instructions in post 1 - hope i got it right - my system has recently started to take an age to restart - the bootup part is fine - it just seems to hang for ages with the rotating icon waiting to shut down - log is here - again hope i have done it right link deleted its double dutch to me - but would appreciate any help thanks

i use a custom theme based on Snowy 3 - i have altered a few colours that are called from the local theme dir - if i restart the computer or bring it back from sleep the theme displays perfectly - if i hibernate the computer and then start it does not display the theme colours correctly if i then go to personalise and click on the saved theme the colours return am i missing something

dont use either of the theme patcher's - i did but whichever one was removed when it was added to Aero Glass - thats set in the registry - my point was that your tool said it was not there - or thats how i read it - the box was not ticked but the custom theme was working - when i ticked the box the theme was still working

thanks - just ran it and it reported i did not have - bypass theme sig enabled - which i do as i am using a custom theme - i ticked it and saved - next run was fine - no idea why it did that if its a bug? and you need info just ask

is there a new link - link in first posts does not download latest version

does nor seem to work after hibernate - only time i see box and have to click - maybe something i have wrong

yep i am - why - Dell XPS17 - do you need some info

thanks

button says - No - its worked a couple of times tonight - its not instant but its not left the popup open - maybe i had something wrong - i had 2 instances in startup - no idea why or how so deleted one - maybe it was confused?
