Also, what you've described isn't really the problem we're experiencing. Evoking Win-S is causing keyboard problems requiring a reboot in most cases. It's not just one or two errant 'keystrokes', but a flash of 10 to 30 OS-evoked key commands causing window closures, taskbar property changes and other desktop casualties (most may not think to check their trash folders afterwards). Hopefully these Win98-specific problems can be fixed. IANAP, but it seems the gran mal starts in the keyboard hook. The OS must be getting these key commands from somewhere, and I'm curious to know where the data is coming from for these 'keystrokes'. --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ DQSD-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8601
RE: [DQSD-Users] Crazy windows
FWIW - I was never been able to get the win-s thing to work.. I never really bothered me because I never use it..and I thought I must be mis-understanding what was supposed to happen.. One day I tried to get it working and couldn't... Oddly it works now since my machine cratered and I had to install the OS from scratch... Somewhere along the way - in the OS updates etc. the function was broken... My machine is setup the same way now that it was before the crash.. I am running the same apps etc..

Re: [DQSD-Users] Crazy windows
Yes, I've had the same problems (Win98 IE6) when I use Win-S, or any other Win-x substitute. I initially thought it was because I had DQSD docked on a secondary taskbar but moving it to the primary taskbar only solved the drag and drop problem. I have since disabled Win-S (instructions in the dqsd-user archives). A bug report was made, I think you can check to see if it's been closed, I remember there were several Win-S related emails in this list but that was a few months ago. Early on I submitted a screenshot of an error dialog (something similar to the 'disabled hook' error many experienced) but I don't think that one was addressed specifically. Eventually I was no longer able to recreate it (it only occured during startup) and since have deleted the image. I know it's a very frustrating problem, Win-S would be a very convenient feature and one I would use often but unfortunately this mystery seems to have no leads. - Original Message - From: "amir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 5:25 PM Subject: [DQSD-Users] Crazy windows I have DQSD on top.
