There is a simple trick to find out if a standalone projector is really 100% standalone and doesn't reference any xtra or dll from the shockwave installation: just temporary rename the system's shockwave folder before starting the projector: e.g. rename "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Shockwave 10" (or "Shockwave 8") to "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\_Shockwave 10" (or "_Shockwave 8")
If the projector still works fine, it's indeed standalone. The path above applies to Win XP. I think it's "C:\Win2k\System32\Macromed\Shockwave 10" for Win2k and "C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Shockwave 10" for Win98/ME Valentin Brennan wrote: > I thought this was a certainty, but I just tried a projector created > with > the Mac version of DMX under Windows 98 (admittedly with virtualPC) > and it > would not run: A dialog box told me to download the shockwave 8.5 > player!!! > > I certainly had the projector settings to be the non-shockwave type, > so > this is rather mystifying to me. > > The same projector works fine under WindowsMe, 2000 and XP. > > Brennan > > [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go > to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, > email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email > [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
