Treetop, the buttons show on the menu(s) but no text in those buttons.
Nygie, just for ****s and giggles, re-install flash using IE (not Firefox)
If that fails, uninstall DFX and RR, then re-install them, but be sure to turn off ANY and all Spyware, Firewall, and Anti virus software. (As far as that's concerned, have NO other programs running.
Try that, unless someone else has a better idea.

Sweet mate, that worked a treat.Originally Posted by treetop777
I had an onskinstart entry that turned the spacenavigator lights on... that may have been the problem.
Thanks for your time.
I'll do some eploring tomorrow night when the wife is working
Thanks again.
<Question: When I start the skin, all I see is a 1" bar down the middle of the screen. How do I fx that?
Solution: The DIgitalFX skin uses transparency. Open the rr.ini file in Road Runner's root folder and ensure Fastmode=-1 is in there. If not add it, if its another value, change it to -1>
I checked the Fastmode=-1 in rr.ini file and installed new adobe flash but still having a problem that only can see 1inch bar
John plz help
CarPC helps to get help on the scene?
Ok, this is so far off topic from the skin, that I can't even really justify posting it in my own thread! Off topic or not, I had to tell someone about the crazy night I had.
It started like any other Sat night, going out with some friends, having a few drinks and a good time.
It was not until the drive home that things changed. I had just gotten off the interstate, and was sitting at a light to turn right. There was a car in front of me, and this guy staggered up and banged on the passenger window. I watched as the car pulled forward to avoid him, and the guy collapsed to the ground. I backed up, and pulled to the side of the off ramp and put it in park, as something just did not seem right. One would think great, a homeless person, a beggar, a drunk who knows, but something told me it was more than that.
As I got out of the car and walked up, he was gasping for air. He looked Spanish and asked him if he spoke English, and he somewhat shook his head no the best that he could, and gasped Espanol... At that point he collapsed completely. He was young, and looked to be about 20 years old or so.
As I looked him over, he had some sort of stab wound to his chest and was bleeding pretty bad, as well as from the nose and mouth. I was a medic in the Army some years ago and something just kicked in. I checked his breathing... he had stopped breathing. I did the whole can you hear me, shook his shoulders ect... no response.
I ran back to the car, got the first aid kit, and pulled out the plastic tube for CPR that prevents mouth to mouth contact. Another car was stopping at the light and I was yelling to them to call 911. I administered CPR, and in just a short time, and he choked and began to gasp for air. I then rolled him on his side so he would not choke on any blood and such.
I then called 911 myself to report it. They said they had received a call, and they were dispatching to Forrest Hill and I-95. I told them that was wrong! I was at I-95 and 6th ave (2 exists to the south of where they thought we were). She told me the person who called gave that location. I was adiment and told her it was wrong. I ran back to the car, and gave her the exact Lat and Lon of where we were (From the already open RR of course). Within a couple of minutes a police car showed up, followed by another a few seconds after that.
it was a lot more eventful night that I had anticipated! The police thanked me for stopping and helping, and dismissed me politely to basically leave.
I dont know what part I played, or the CarPC played in the whole thing, but it did help to pinpoint precisely where we were. I am sure I will never know what happened with they guy, and am sure they will not tell me if I try to call and ask.
I had my camera in my pocket, and took this photo as I was walking away.
(I blurred out the guy more out of respect, as I do not know his condition, or if he actually made it or not).

Wow, John! Some night. Most people, like the car in front, would have left him to die. Hats off to you for helping.
Hats off to you John! Awesome job you are truely a great person for doing that. As said before, most people would of probably just left him to die. And yes if it wasn't for your rr and gps you might of been waiting longer! Congrats to you! God bless hope that man is ok!
Makes me proud to be part of a great forum as this one! There are so many great people out there and you just backed me up with this kind of story! GREAT JOB!

Sounds like he had Tension Pnuemo from the chest wound. The CPR sometimes is enough to force just enough oxygen into the bloodstream to keep someone alive, or in your care revive them. Immediate CPR in my personal experiences as a Medic works very well a good number of the times. Good job and fast thinking. I with out a doubt think that gentlemen owes a good bit of gratitude to you, but that's not why you do it.
Funny thing about the GPS, I have used it in similar situations. I installed a Laptop in my Fire Companies Rescue Apparatus before leaving PA. I used RR and showed everyone how to use the navigation. I added features to show the location of every hydrant in towns so everyone loved it. I have been told every time a Life Flight Helicopter is called to a scene in the area that the other companies call our Rescue so we can give exact Lat and Long and landing site live weather!
Truly, great job John. The world could sure use more people like yourself!
Holy ****, that's scarey man. Knife criimes on the up and up in the UK now!!
