I see your point of a localized site for the latest version of freeware programs, maybe even with the args set for you, it would be nice. The major hangup would be bandwidth. Unless you have a site with free unlimited bandwidth, it wouldn't be cost-effective. WPI could also only download files after an internet connection has been established on your computer. It does sound enticing. But neither Kel nor myself has the time, or patience, to maintain the archives. I use WPI at my job on a lan and that is hard enough sometimes. Keeping my CD/DVD up to date is also lagging behind sometimes. Maybe some day I will try it just to see how well it would work. Maybe......

I have been asked to support other screen resolutions. Here is what I am expanding to to start with: Standard 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1400x1050 1600x1200 1920x1400 WideScreen 1280x720 1280x800 1440x900 1600x1024 1680x1050 1920x1080 Are there any others I may be missing?

I have started a list of registry checks that will be added for 6.5 release. I will also be adding to the properties page to show more computer info: brand, bit, mhz, etc. With these new checks I will make it so it uses the correct cmd version.

I think I had WolfX2 put the text on the dock images. Any one can do it: Take the no text image, copy it, load it into a graphics program, put some text over it, merge the layers. You then have a blank image and a text image. The code fades them in/out to give the appearance of several images. Be sure to call them the correct names.

Are the XP title bar image backgrounds somewhere in a folder, maybe a jpg, that can be loaded via javascript or a web page? I am making a "fake" window, but I want it to clone a standard window as much as possible. So I want to find the current desktop theme's image for the title bar background.

Weird. Somehow, sometime, the space was removed. There should be a space in the first check: rs = rs.replace(/%reboot% /gi, 'shutdown.exe -r -f -t '); // force a reboot after X seconds Put a space after the %reboot%. See the second line where the replace puts a 0 after the -t? In the first one it leaves your specified time there. Kel: Put this in the latest version.

It's a strange thing. When adding items in puts them at the end of the list. Over time if you have Sort Within Categories on, it will start to get sorted out. No, there is no way to sort the list in the Config editor.......at this time. I have started a Pro version which has a new grid list gadget that can be sorted by Install Order, UID, Name, etc. Maybe some day when I get 100% working it will migrate over to regular WPI.

After a year away from programming WPI, I finally have some time again to devote to this program that I really love using and programming for. I "blame" it on my girlfriend keeping me busy. Like I told Kel, both good and bad. Anyway, I have kept all my notes and I have several new ideas floating around in my head that I need to get written down before I forget them. I need to catch up on the forum posts. I need to browse the updated code since 5.7 when I faded out. I don't/won't have as much time as I used to to devote to WPI, but I will do everything I can to get back in business. Let's bring WPI back to life! Let's take it to the next level!

The two checks are very similar, but the frirst one looks for a space after %reboot% while the second does not. So, if you do %reboot% 5 It will wait 5 seconds before restarting. If you do not specify a number it assumes 0 and shuts down immediately.

Try using GCOND to see if the file exists. If item disabled, then something is wrong. Strange it is left out of the log file........Try adding ordr[pn]=[0]; Just to see if it helps.

I agree with Kels: you have to do some work for yourselves.

Those were the brain-child of Dje. They are not supported by Kels or myself......yet. He has some great ideas, I'm just not ready to incorporate them. Either contact him, or just keep playing with them on your own.

Do you have JavaScript enabled in IE? FileExists() is a basic IO file check that should never cause an error like yours. And since it is at launch, I would also look at mshta.exe

Are you saying that if you remove the line with api.js you do not get the error message?

I haven't installed Vista yet. I am not any a hurry, either. But will do a test machine this spring/summer. Don't expect anything too soon.

I have no idea what you posted. This is an English only forum.

I like that. Added to the list.

Your config.js file. Add entries back in a few at a time until it breaks again. Then you will know which entry has the problem.

That is already in there: %reboot% Search the ChangeLog.txt and read the manual.

Someone that has talked to me, Kels, and WolfX2 through email and has our names in their address book, has a virus. I am getting 60+ emails per day addressed from Kels, WolfX2 is getting some from me. None of us has a virus; Kels even formatted his harddrive. Could you update your virus scanner and check your system for us? It is getting really frustrating. Thanks!

No, only the JavaScript code is loaded. There are no file existance checks unless you have specidfied them. That could be the culprit, but not too likely since only 30 programs. But turn them off and see if it helps.

WHat language are you using? I will have start with English as the default. Seems a few languages aren't recognized.

It also has to do with your screen resolution and the numbers of items in each categoty. Example: I had a user send me his config with like 500+ entries. On my 1280x1024 AMD64 it took 4 minutes to render. On his at 1600x1200 AMD64 it only takes 40 seconds. My smaller resolution was doing more column overflow checks and making new columns and more pages, etc. I will be getting back into the full swing of things again here real soon. The "Pro" version has a new progress display to show what it is doing at startup, not just a blank screen.

I originally used Alt for the hot keys. Then I switched to Ctrl. This seems to have caused some problems with Ctrl+C for Config interfering with copy. So I am thinking of going back to Alt, but will ask for opinions first.

You probably have a missing quote in your config. Install one category at a time to narrow down the search. You shouldn't get the error until you get to that category, then go one by one to find the culprit.
