Hi James, As it happens, we just bought a new laptop for Christmas, and it came with Vista. I just managed to install DQSD for tinkering...
I've tried these steps, and I got the same results, but ONLY when running with launchmode = 0, so it doesn't match your settings, strangely enough. I also get the AppDataDirectory error that Michael mentions after I change to launchmode=0, but it shows immediately when I restart the bar. Weird. I'll see if I can find some time to follow up on these issues during the weekend. Thanks for your reports. - Kim On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 18:09, James Nix <ni...@charter.net> wrote: > Kim, > > Well.... it seems DQSD IS starting SOME windows in Protected Mode (PM) > correctly and some blank windows in UnProtected Mode (UPM) incorrectly, or > so it seems.
