This is just a guess (I don't have Windows with Hebrew locale to test), but try setting an environment variable LANG to C. To do this on Windows XP, right-click My Computer, select Properties, go to Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button, then click New and set LANG as Variable Name and C as Variable Value.

WGA is a separate update, and you don't need to install it (while it is among the auto-install updates, you can tell Windows to never install it, and even if you forget that, it will not actually install unless you explicitly agree - it displays a license on next boot, and if you choose "Do not agree", and click Next and then Cancel, it won't bother you again). > Change a hard drive because it went face down in > the pool, and you have to buy _another_ copy of windows. Don't spread lies - first, if you have an OEM copy of Windows (that was pre-installed by a major computer manufacturer), it'll never deactivate (as long as you keep the motherboard), because it only checks the license in BIOS. If you have a non-branded OEM copy or a retail version, you'll at worst have to call the activation centre (but this is only needed in rare circumstances - usually Windows will just activate automatically, assuming some time has passed since last activation). While it's not legal to move an OEM copy from one computer to another, you can even do that, since there's no real way to tell you did it (unless let WGA install, and you use Windows on both computers).

Your originals have few colours and sharp borders, and are fairly small. The thumbnails aren't that much smaller, but due to resizing, you introduced a lot of new colours, which make the images harder to compress, despite somewhat smaller size. You can save some space by converting the images (both original and resized) to 256 colours, but the originals will likely still compress better. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If the notebook is using SATA in native mode, the problem is simply that XP was developed before that. Nothing much to do with Microsoft (and actually, you should thank Intel that they released AHCI as open standard, so that future chipsets from multiple vendors can be supported with the built-in drivers in the OS). Check in BIOS if there's a setting for SATA mode - it should be set to IDE or Compatible, not Native or AHCI. If there is no such setting, you can download nLite from <http://www.nliteos.com/> and use it to integrate drivers to an XP installation CD (you might want to do this even if there is a BIOS setting, if the laptop has an eSATA port - eSATA hotplugging is not supported when SATA controller is in IDE/Compatible mode). -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

There have been 180.000 downloads of GIMP 2.6.5 Windows installer so far (according to SourceForge), and I haven't received any complaints. > 2. Mea culpa.

It's a problem because your client specifies black as the text colour, but doesn't specify background colour, which on my configuration makes your messages unreadable (I have black background). This doesn't happen with plain text messages. Also, please quote normally (prefix all quoted lines with a single > character - that makes it much clearer which part of the message is a quote, and what's your answer). And if you have time to complain about adverts inserted in your signature, at least put a signature delimiter (dash-dash-space) above them - this'll hide them from most decent clients. > 5.

Just because your client is so primitive that it doesn't know how to thread messages doesn't mean that you should ruin threading for everybody. Take a look here to see how threading looks (and how you're breaking it): <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user> > All snide remarks aside... I am on digest.

Digests shouldn't be used for anything but reading - but even with digests, there shouldn't be too many problems as long as you don't change the subject on every post. -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If you're talking about cropping JPEG files, then no - you'll have to find a specialized program for that (it would be very difficult to implement lossless JPEG operations in any image editor). -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The installer tries to set up environment in such way that GIMP-2.0\bin directory is first in PATH when plugins and extensions are started (this is done through Registry and GIMP's global configuration files). If you aren't using any other GTK+ application, uninstall GTK+ completely, and just let GIMP use GTK+ that ships with it. > So looking through the registry, I find some keys that > GIMP failed to clean up upon uninstalling... > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gimp-2.6.exe > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gimp-win-remote.exe These keys weren't created by the installer, so it can't remove them (GIMP itself doesn't use registry).

It does this with removable drives because users rarely bother to eject (unmount) them before unplugging them. You can enable caching (which greatly improves performance), but then you have to remember to eject the device before disconnecting it, or you risk filesystem corruption. -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I personally find the GTK+ widget so bad compared to the native Windows one that I usually resort to dragging images from Explorer when I want them opened in GIMP (and I don't use Explorer for file management, but my usual file manager works in console and thus doesn't support drag and drop). -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This was only available when GTK+ was distributed separately from GIMP, so it's not there anymore. GIMP would need to implement this somewhere in it's preferences, as quite a few users seem to be running in a different locale than what they want for the interface language. -- < Jernej Simončič >< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > < Contact address: >< jernej simoncic at isg si > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
