WPI on XP x64 - hang recover?

[johnhc]

Kelsenellenelvian,

I have been experimenting more with WPI and having fun, but I have some questions.

I think I have the basics working on configuration. I was able to hang it up by playing with the Windows taskbar when I had USSF open. When only WPI.hta is running my entire screen is taken up by it and I don't have access to the taskbar. When I open USSF (which seems to work fine), the taskbar returns at the bottom. I clicked on the USSF button and the taskbar and the USSF window disappeared. Left or right click anywhere on your screen got no action, only a beep. Even EXIT did nothing but beep. I could open the task manager via ctrl-alt-delete. I ended USSF but that did not help. I was able to determine that mshta.exe was running the wpi.hta and I ended it getting my machine back. I have wondered from the start if I could go back to Windows (Explorer for instance) without exiting WPI. I also hope there is a way to recover from my hang condition although I am quick to admit I should not have been playing about.

My config file looks fine after configuring two applications. USSF found the silent switches for both. I have a better understanding and like the way WPI works.

I can't find a free virtual environment to test a disc, so I'll have to wait till AMD gets their game going in the quad world.

Thanks for your program and help....................John
