[release] Address Book

[wizard]

People, read the friggin' thread. I have answered it like 3 time, including duckie which answered about the same. Delete the .manifest file in the programs directory.

[OSX]

I deleted it, and this message appears when i try to run it:

---------------------------

Address Book

---------------------------

There's only so much I can take. Trust me, everyone is feeling my wrath now.

If deleting the .manifest file didn't work, run the program in compatibility mode (anything other than XP). Post more later

Are you using Windows XP ?

[nightcrawler1089]

OK...we're gonna get through this. Breathe in, Breathe out...

Uninstall anything you may have installed. Then, redownload everything. Install Visual Basic 6 (or whatever it is) again, and then reinstall the address book. Keep the manifest file, but set compatibility for windows 2000. Try that. I got the same error noise and it was fixed if I kept the manifest but set compatibility.

I too am having a problem. I can get address book to run, but the window is truncated. I cannot get the whole window to display. I am running Windows XP. I have follwed all instructions carefully. I have deleted everything, re-downloaded both VB and address book, reinstalled both, and deleted the manifest file. But I do not know where to change compatibility mode.

Any advice?

Cheers

Right clicking on the EXE -> Properties and go to the Compatability tab.

I don't think this could be a problem, but are you running a non-English version of Windows XP? This shouldn't be the problem, but just a precaution.

[nightcrawler1089]

Irondoorknob- The same things happens to me when I try to run Address Book: (it works, but) I get a truncated window. Well, actually, I've run it on two computers (both running it in compatibility mode), and I get a truncated window for one, but not the other. Any ideas, anybody?

[Irondoorknob]

nightcrawler1089 - The same thing is happening to me. I am running it on my desktop and on my new laptop. The desktop version runs perfectly. The laptop version is truncated. I have now chnaged to Windows 200 compatibility mode, with no success. I am running an English US keyboard and program. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers.

[nightcrawler1089]

Exact same situation here: works fine on desktop, but truncated on laptop. Wonder what's up with that? Specifically, is it the right side that is messed up? It just ends in white; there is no side. Is it the same with you?

Thanks,

nightcrawler1089

[Irondoorknob]

For me it is the right side and the bottom. Both are truncated. Does anyone have any ideas?

[Duckie]

if one more person says the word truncated, I'm goin' postal.

[nightcrawler1089]

Yeah. Right side and bottom truncated (Watch out for Duckie now. He's gone postal). I wonder what's up with that. We could PM or email Jib and see if he has any ideas.

-nightcrawler1089

P.S: Sorry Duckie, I couldn't resist.

[rooskee]

First off... you are not going to get too much respect by pissing off a long time and respected member like Duckie.

Second, a PM to jib would be useless, i don't think he comes here anymore

[nightcrawler1089]

That's too bad that Jib no longer hangs out here. As for Duckie, I worship him. I know that Aqua skinning would be nothing without duckie. (Duckie- where'd you get your name from?) I was just kidding around.

Rooskee- Have you done anything? Like, any apps or icons? Do you have a website? I'd like to check them out.

Anyway... I guess I'll just give up on this address book. Neither Roots or this worked. Both display problems it seemed. I don't really need a separate address book- the one that came with Thunderbird is just fine (and it looks even better once you apply an Aqua skin- just got the beta version of what Proteo did; see http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=13387).

Thanks!

nightcrawler1089

P.S: I hope I didn't really make anyone too mad over Duckie going postal. Please accept my apologies.

Truncated Scmumcated, truncatedtrunc. trunc trunca, truncated truncated.

Truncated trunca trunc. trunca trunca, tru truncated.

[Irondoorknob]

Nightcrawler,

I found the problem. Change your display settings under Appearance/Advanced from large DPI to normal DPI. I remembered that this problem had occurred before so I looked up an earelier thread. Jib suggested this and it worked for me. Here is the thread: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?s...pic=9273&st=180.

Hope this works for you!

Cheers,

Irondoorknob

:woot: OMFG... i just reinstalled the app, choose compatibility mode to Windows2000 and it runs.

Is the best aqua application that i saw ever. Is perfect!!

Is not just an exe file like others apps :naughty: , the Address Book is really really great.

Preferences, "About...", Help, all is like an app maded by a big corporation.

Congratulations!! :yes:

[nightcrawler1089]

Yeah, it is a pretty nice app. I'm not sure I need an address book- this is one of those apps that you wouldn't use that often but just have to keep it because it's so darn cool!

-nightcrawler1089

P.S: Thanks, irondoorknob. Glad you found a fix.

[tarik]

Is there gonna a new version for this?

[siddharth]

NO

[ronin]

Anyhow... through Extentions or something like this, to use this fantastic app as the default AddressBook for ThunderBird? Would be amazing use a iMail-wannabe modded ThunderBird with this amazing AddressBook.
