Re: Fun with Windows 10
Most "mental blurps" pop out because their parents get up to something before that, and many "mental blurps" grow up into interesting and creative people who contribute greatly to society: we should all be grateful for "mental blurps". Our society spends most of its time being nasty to "mental blurps" when it should be doing all it can to encourage them. Luckily most "little mental blurps" weather the storms of disapproval and those who would fit them into rigid categories and grow up into . . . err . . . LiveCode programmers among many other things.

Re: Fun with Windows 10
Oh dear, my reply was part of a story I like to tell because my parents had lots of well-meaning friends who were convinced that those stereotypes were eternal verities, and had lots of sadistic fun informing my parents that I'd grow up to be 'queer': which I did, but not in the way they meant! The most amusing thing in my childhood was watching the faces of those 'friends' after they had pointed out that my setting up tea parties with my sister's dolls (while she was zooming my toy cars around the place) was a 100% guarantee of something unsuitable in my later years, my father pointed out that he was always getting into trouble for dressing up in his sister's clothes. My father is, needless to say as normal as all the males in our family . . . and, what is more, has always stated that a child's play is a child's play and adults should never, under any circumstances, interfere in it or try to steer it is some sort of 'suitable' direction. I am quite sure that well-meaning adults interfering in a child's play does one hell of a lot of damage: while, if children are left to their own devices they will reach some sort of satisfactory adulthood with a good modicum of contentment.

Re: Fun with Windows 10
Howdy Richmond, Read my previous reply Your reply was not previous (to my message, that is); it was 10 minutes later. That would have been very difficult indeed as I was 100% unable to get at anything. In the same message I addressed that possibility. So, if your student ever comes back with a legit copy of the OS, you can refer back here. soothing my troubled breast I'm glad! Enjoy. :) Best wishes, Curry Kenworthy Custom Software Development LiveCode Training and Consulting http://livecodeconsulting.com/ ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

6.76 thru 9.01 on a 1709 VM is OK. I would have him blow away the prefs to start==>\users\\AppData\Roaming\RunRev\Preference In that folder delete or rename the Livecode*.rev files.

I have a pupil who has a PC running Windows 10 which he has stuffed "to the gills" with just about everything he can lay his sweaty paws on . . . He is supposed to be working on his LiveCode project for the Summer course but has the following problem: He has installed both 8.1.10 and 9.0 (even though I told him to stick with 8). ON clicking on the symbolic link on the Windows desktop for LC 8.1.10 LiveCode starts up and shows the Start Center: no revMenubar and no revTools bar. I have tried ctrl-M to get the message box to tell the thing to show the menubar and the Tools to no avail. On dismissing the Start Center one is left with NOTHING. Firing up LC 9 shows the squashed-caterpillar-green '9' splash screen followed by NOTHING. Obviously this won't do . . .

Re: Fun with Windows 10
I honestly don't know what would show up anything because . . . I connected the boy's computer up to the internet at which point it asked me to register the OS & I put 2 & 2 together: disconnected the machine, popped down the road with it and gave the boy's Mum "a wigging" about Pirate software and told her that until they installed either legit. Windows or an open source OS on their machine they could "paddle their own canoe". It was quite obvious this woman did not even begin to understand any of the ways pirate software might be wrong. This is an "ongoing situation" in Bulgaria . . . I suspected the woman would not understand the problem because she is a paralegal! So long, and thanks for all the fish. I'll just stick with Xubuntu and Mac OS. Richmond. On 14/8/2018 3:13 pm, Colin Holgate via use-livecode wrote: I tried both 8.1.1 and 9.0.1 in Windows 10 Home version 1803, and they were ok.
