I'm not sure I understand the question?
If you're asking will installing an update shutdown the running version of an app, then yes, it will, and you don't need to shutdown all running apps.

The line number is 803 and there should be no problems. I may have to place in the package for the alert to shut down all apps, at least have it shut down Cuckoo clock because it never gets recorded until it is turned off then on again. Is there a setting for that? Bruce Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2013 9:39 AM Subject: Re: cuckoo clock laptop problem still happening Hi Chipp, That was the most important thing about it, what it was saying. I can still make sure that it only talks when it is at the set time, like yours, only at the top of the hour. Now, if the time is not correct, there is something in the system clock going on when in sleep mode. But, does it say the time in which you open the lid? If you open it at 8:12 in the morning and it actually says that time. I will make the quick mod for I forgot that my Startrek program, Trek, is a compiled .exe and the other error still happens, there I think the only solution is to have the app deleted before upgrade. I will post the fix this morning since I am ahead in my homework. Bruce Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2013 9:02 PM Subject: RE: cuckoo clock laptop problem still happening Hi Bruce, No, it does not say the correct time when the lid is opened, only because I only have it set to say the time at the top of the hour and no where else. I wouldn't worry about this one; it's not happening every time I open the lid, and I can't tell you how to reproduce it. If I figure out how to make it happen, then I'll bring it up again. Thanks though for looking into it.

You say it does the top of the hour, the chime you hear would be the Chinese Gong and sound, but is it saying the correct time? Not the top of the hour time like 1 PM or 2 PM if it is not? As I had mentioned in my last email I know it would trigger the top of the hour on the quarter hour as I had set it to look at minute mod 15, which means it thinks it is OK when 15 has a remainder of 0. For I had not checked for each setting value, 0, 15, and 30. So, when it sounds when the lid is open, does it say the correct time and not the top of the hour? Unless it is the top of the hour.

From: BX [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 8:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: cuckoo clock laptop problem still happening Hi Chip, That setting is the only place where it gets fired. The timer function call is for that area and the only thing I can say is the time as the lid opens is not the same. But, when it makes the announcement of the time, does it say the correct time or just the hour time? What I mean is the time it says is the present time when it fires, and does it say that or the top of hour time? Now, maybe it is firing after the reset, it should not, but maybe it is, an issue maybe with the timer itself. In other words, when it gets set for the next hour the milliseconds is off and sounding immediately upon being set. I just can't imagine that, but the only possibility. Let me know if it says the exact time in which the lid is opened. I will check and make sure I only have one function call for the top of the hour; unless an alarm or wakeup is going off, there not set to go off when the hour one does. Now will investigate that and put the same flag there if that were happening. The alarm should not go off if it is not set, do you have an alarm setting set as well? Or a wake up setting? Bruce Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 7:35 PM Subject: RE: cuckoo clock laptop problem still happening Bruce, Yep; I checked the announce menu item you mentioned and it is not checked. The announcement doesn't always happen as it used to, so things are much better; it's just a little strange, especially since it's male. Chip From: BX [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: cuckoo clock laptop problem still happening Hi Chip, The .ini is not included so no one looses there settings. I believe that error is connected to the folder created for the record files and it also happens with the Trek game. I may have to delete that folder upon install but not sure if that will fix it since the error or warning comes up before install. Now, try deleting the record to wav folder and download the latest version again. But, before doing that change the version level in the one you have to an earlier number so it will know to update. I may even have to include a check for update on the help menu so it will delete the folder if an update is there. But having said all that I may just compile the record program so it does not require a folder, which I have not been able to do since the fire at my house. Laptop lid problem: Also, Chip did you look at the flag on the Clocks menu, the first menu when using the alt key and cursoring down to the 5'th option, Announce after hibernate/screen savor mode? What is it's setting? Is it checked? For it should not be. When you toggle it AI have it say on or off depending on the check state. Bruce Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 7:23 AM Subject: cuckoo clock laptop problem still happening Sorry to say Bruce, but I have your latest version of the cuckoo clock, and it's set for a female voice at the top of the hour and nothing else, and yet when I open my laptop lid I immediately hear the male voice announcing the last hourly time. Also, when I installed this version, it told me that some of its files will conflict with some files from the current version of the cuckoo clock (I believe this usually happens when you include a file which has a time stamp earlier than that of one of the files in the previous package; this can easily happen if you include the .ini file).
