What a blast from the past! and there's recent posts too :)

Hi, i could use some help. I've been using WPI v5.4 for years but only upgraded recently so i could use the menu on Win7 systems as well. I've only just discovered my build (8.2.1) now doesn't work on WinXP systems. 8.1 also appears to not work. The problem is weird: i have quite a large menu but half of the titles are unselectable ... when i go to try to select titles in the bottom half of the menu, before i can click on the check box, i am taken back to the middle of the menu (back a few pages) ... nothing i can do will allow me to select individual check boxes for about half the titles. Every time i try to put my mouse pointer anywhere near these titles i am taken back up to the middle of the menu again. I have tried trouble-shooting, it works perfectly on a Win7 system, the problem is definitely due to WinXP ... i have tried both VMs and real world tests. I am lest interested right now in understanding why this is happening, more interested in getting a dual system working. Am i the only one with this issue? If there is anyone with a working WPI that works on Win7 and XP, can you tell me which version it is and what you did to make it work? Many thanks.

Hi Kel, WPI Config Lister seems to be configured for the old style CONFIG.JS ... any chance of an update, or what would be the easiest way to get a list of the current titles?? If the original app was written in AutoIT, i can update it for you Sop.

Hi Kel, If you are up for it, i was wondering why i'm getting this message when trying to access wpiw.net You are not authorized to view this page The Web server you are attempting to reach has a list of IP addresses that are not allowed to access the Web site, and the IP address of your browsing computer is on this list. Hope you are coping Sop. PS -- the main reason for wanting to visit was to grab the latest tools pack, if anyone can help me out that would be fab EDIT --- the problem has disappeared, yay

Hi all, Just wanted to pass on my experience upgrading from v5.5 (circa 2009) to v8.1 The reason for the update is that the old java script doesn't work for the newer browsers and so i had to bite the bullet (i was holding onto the 'if it aint broke, don't fix it' rule --- but its broke) and upgrade. First, i just tried using my old CONFIG.JS file with the new system, but i was told it was not compatible and did i want to upgrade. I chose yes but it didn't convert it perfectly. So then i made a new CONFIG.JS from scratch with only 1 app to see what it created. From there it was easy to modify my existing file to be compatible with the new system. I love the new system! Thanks Kel, (and i'm sorry for your loss!) Sop.

my deepest sympathies Kel

I'm not sure, but you could ask this question in its own thread, may get more replies. Hi there, i haven't been involved in Win98 stuff for over a year now, i'm probably not the best to ask. But i will clear up the question above -- you should only need to use AutoPatcher once. However, i haven't released a full version of the 2008 edition, its only available as an upgrade. So, first, make an up-to-date AutoPatcher by installing 2007 and then installing 2008 over it. Hope this helps.

MDGx, hey mate, sorry, i forgot that you would have been hosting it ... i will put the link at the top. Cheers.

sorry bout this but the 2 files that i posted have been lost in a server crash, and i didn't have a copy --- stupid me. but all you have to do is get a copy of a file named "INTL.INF" and use that to force a re-install of which ever language group u want. It will take a bit of google research but i'm sure you'll get it
