Being drunk somtimes leads to good things!
Fixed some Vista Compatibility problems:
FixedVista problems:
+ fading / setalpha no longer results in a black background
+ Desktop Icon no longer supported
FixedMultimonitor problems:
+ ShowCase offset problems
Fixed Other problems:
+ ATLASSERT() errors in shadow dialogs are gone
+ DX animations now on older hardware also
+ warns when SysStats is run without admin rights (compat. prob.)
How?
Overwrite your previous version (1.3 / 2.0) with this new
AveDesk.exe.
Be sure to remove the Languages folder!

WHY?
You gotta thank my girlfriend for occupying the shower for such a long time period that I started fixing bugs.

yay!
edit:this isn't working
it said it needed d3dx9_36.dll in order to run
after getting it, it crashes as soon as i start it up (caused an error and needed to close)
running vista ultimate if it matters

That's good news for the new year!
Although I'm not using Vista yet, one day I'll have to do the step... and I really would've missed AveDesk! So thanks a lot for this one!!

AFAIK you only have to run SysStats with admin rights once. Has this changed?

I think that's a DirectX component. You can always download the dll from
http://www.dll-files....shtml?d3dx9_36 then extract the dll to your avedesk and sys32 folder

AndreasV, thanx a lot for the release, and pls keep going.
Note: I´m running Vista Ultimate and also got the d3dx9_36.dll error but it went away as soon I put this file in avedesk.exe's folder (downloaded from
http://w3.externet.h.../GSdx9v10-3.rar).
