Thanks for the advice, but I am. In fact, I use the Brushed Metal skin normally.

"I also put the .skin in the RR folder" ....

Again use the BMV stock skin, the skin in the .exe dload update for Guinos plugin will replace this .skin file in BMV - then should work.... Once you get to that point you can then port into the skin you are using.

Again, thanks for the help, but you will notice, I am using the BMV skin, AND I put the skin files into the RR folder AS WELL, because if you use the .exe by itself, the skin files need to be in the same folder. It was a last ditch effort.

Again, I AM USING THE BMV skin.

What I understand is that it have to be in the same format that CdRip (I suscessfully laod it with the load command but when click exit, RR gets hide and i have to kill it with task manager)

Thanatos.

I am having problem with the webplugin. Couldn't get it to run within RR. Running it standalone result in an error message saying "C:\Program Files\Road Runner\SKIN does not contain a valid skin! Check your settings and try again."

I have followed the instructions creating a SKIN folder in C:\Program Files\Road Runner, copying OSK.skin, wbrowser.skin and their respective JPG files into this folder. But it simply refuses to run. Any help?

Well, hate to sound like I am *****ing and complaining, but, Gas Price Finder works well. BUT, I can't get IG to run natively. If I set IGNATiVE=False, everything works fine. Run it with IGNATIVE=TRUE, IG flashes on the screen for a moment, and then disappears, leaving the skin with a blank spot, well, where the desktop shows of course.

Tried the new Web browser, can't get that to work either. When it loads, I get a whie box/screen. I have tried my skin, the BMV2 skin, I have downloaded all the various parts from rrdownloads, I have tried it using the isntall shield and then updating the program. I have downloaded the 2 other files that Guino linked in the middle of the thread, but none of them allow me to run IG native or the Browser.

I even made a fresh install of RR, and that didn't help either.

So, can anyone tell me, how do I get Native IG and the Browser to work. I am willing to start from the beginning, but so far, doing the normal RR stuff, either by Install Shield or extracting the ZIPs, hasn't worked.

O.K., so I commented out the C01,000,055,800,545 part with a "/", and it run with IGNATIVE=True, BUT, when I run IG, it flashes worse then when running FALSE. 3 flashes, two very fast, and then a third about a second after the first 2. WHen I run with a clip area, and not natively, there is asingle flash.

Hmmmmm??

A forward slash "/" works, but the real comment is "/,".

I have a fix for that posted in post 101 of this thread . I am not sure Evolution included in any of his fix release or guino catch that fix in his yet. I just don't want to release another exe just for that fix which end up serveral fixed exe floating around.
My dev machine is a fast one, and that is why I don't see any flash during beta. On my carPC, it did flash.
