AveDesk 1.4 Vista Compatibility Build

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.

Thanks, finally can use it on my laptop.

#485566

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

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!!

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

Wow, if only I didnt wipe Vista to use Leopard.

#485928

#486215

NIce work ave !

#486254

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.hu/~lpoczkod/GSdx9v10-3.rar).

#486671

Have the same problem here, but running XP SP2..

Why would you need to be running a Vista compatibility build on XP? :confused:

#486716

Vista compatibility shouldn't mean it breaks XP compatibility, one would hope...

#486742

works great here as well. thank you
