There are plenty of legit apps that run without being formally installed. Doesn't make them a virus.

lol..you had a 50meg internet connection and now a 70meg connection and are complaining because its not 80. Dude I was excited when I got upgraded to 7 from a meg and half. I'd kill for even half of that 50 megs.

With a few notable exceptions "politician == liar". Fixed. Though I can't imagine, what if anything you'd have to pay for (I'm in no means versed in a large deployments of programs) when "upgrading" to Firefox. Don't yell at me, I just think it'd be as simple as just instructing people to download and install it. EDIT: Unless, you'd have to fix all the internal sites and crap to work with it. Then it might be a problem.

Thats for the mouse and keyboard hooks right? Neither will work in this case.

Thanks for the response. I've looked at the MSDN docs for hooks, and created a C++ version, but I'm getting the same results.

Looking to create a global hook to intercept WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED messages. So far all attempts to create a hook always end up not functioning properly. I create the hook then filter out messages that aren't what I'm looking for, but it always seems to make all non-system processes that are running crash. My Code:

Public Class WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED
Shared Event WindowMoving(ByVal handle As IntPtr)
Shared hookhandle As Integer
Shared hookhandler As HookHandler
Private Sub New()

    End Sub
    Public Shared Sub CreateTheHook()
        'If hookhandle = 0 Then
        '    hookhandle = User32Imports.SetWindowsHookEx(CInt(HookCodes.WH\_CALLWNDPROC), hookhandler, Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()(0)), CInt(0))
        '    MsgBox(hookhandle)
        'End If
        hookhandler = New HookHandler(AddressOf ChangeButtonHost)
        hookhandle = User32Imports.CreateSystemHook(Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()(0)), hookhandler)
        If hookhandle <> 0 Then MsgBox("hi")
    End Sub
    Shared Function ChangeButtonHost(ByVal nCode As Integer, ByVal wParam As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As IntPtr)
        If nCode >= 0 Then
            Dim cwps As CWPSTRUCT = DirectCast(System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.PtrToStructure(lParam, GetType(CWPSTRUCT)), CWPSTRUCT)
            Dim winfo As New WindowInfo(cwps.hwnd)
            If cwps.message = &H46 And WindowInfo.IsValid(cwps.hwnd) And winfo.ShowInTaskbar = True Then
                RaiseEvent WindowMoving(cwps.hwnd)
            End If
        End If
        Return 0 'User32Imports.CallNextHookEx(hookhandle, nCode, wParam, lParam)
    End Function
End Class

Friend Class User32Imports
<DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Friend Shared Function SetWindowsHookEx(ByVal idHook As Integer, ByVal lpfn As HookHandler, ByVal hInstance As IntPtr, ByVal ThreadId As Integer) As Integer

No serious competitors? Oh so I guess Firefox's 20% is meaningless, :)

7 has this light house like icon in the tray that when you click on it a small window comes up that has all the notifications in it. The control panel part of it in 6801 is called the Windows Solution Center, but I've heard in later builds the icon and name have changed.

Actually, I figured out not 10 mins after my last post. It seemed to be something with the animation that plays right before any of the actual code is run. I re-did the animation after screwing it up doing something else, and everything seemed to start moving when it supposed to. Thanks for your help though, and I apologize if I wasted your time.

TasksIcos.Margin.Left = -192 at runtime and in blend.

Ok, So I'm trying to programatically set the left margin on three controls, a textblock named "Clock", a StackPanel named "TasksIcos", and a button named "Options". This is the code I'm using: TasksIcos.Margin = New Thickness(TasksIcos.Margin.Left + 32, TasksIcos.Margin.Top, TasksIcos.Margin.Right, TasksIcos.Margin.Bottom) Options.Margin = New Thickness(-MiniModePanel.Width + 43, Options.Margin.Top, Options.Margin.Right, Options.Margin.Bottom) Clock.Margin = New Thickness(Clock.Margin.Left + 43, 0, -7, 0) The only one that moves any at all, is "Options". The other two do not move regardless of what the values are entered. Can a WPF guru tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

If you having so many issues why not try installing XP into a virtual machine. I've done this and use it quite often to run apps that don't run well or at all on Vista.

As did i, and agree...its much more responsive and faster than XP was/is.

I think that the biggest advantage may be the performance gains you get from getting the desktop drawing off the CPU like it was in XP. Plus the lack of those annoying white boxes that appear when moving a window on top of another window thats frozen.

Goto the forms designer and double click on the timer control. This should take you to the Code window. Look for "Private Sub Timer1_Tick", put your system.DateTime code in there

you goto Google, searching for something and find everything but what you're looking for.

I'm not sure how many ads they put on it. I think just one, and yes you own the domain they just keep it registered. H|D News, My RSS feed reader

actually its just for the Collaboration and Essentials package...the basic one is free and ad-supported.
