if this has already been mentioned I'm sorry, but I just tried this on a new machine & found this out, once extracted installed good.... you do have to click an ok dialog quite a few times, but it goes quickly...

PLEASE let me know if this is the case! I know I install a lot of programs through WinZip myself. Most of the time this works well. There are occasions that WinZip reports an error to a "File Not Found". When this happens I simply close it, extract the archive to a folder and try again, and then it works.

PLEASE let me know if this is where the problem is originating from, as I have been going crazy here trying to determine the problem.

I hope I am making sense here

It is my birthday, (Well on the 24th at least) and have had a very long day, and must admit, a LOT of drink as well

(Thats what friends are for...... right?

)

For any of the rest of you with January birthdays, you probably know this already: (Or at least have friends going through this)
Wow, this is almost as bad as a Digg.com "top list" but here we go........

The top 5 reasons to not expect anything for your January birthday are:

5) its the beginning of a new year, and I made a vow to put more money into savings

4) I made a vow to quit smoking and the cost of the classes are killing me!

3) I made a vow to lose weight and the cost of the classes and the mandatory food cost is killing me!

2) we are such good friends, that you never need to expect a gift from me!

1) Christmas was a month ago, and I combined your Christmas and Birthday gifts together.

Hehehehe I need to stop rambling, get some sleep, and continue working to make this skin better!

Hey, John, happy birthday!

**JohnWPB** · 01-25-2007, 05:13 AM

Dude! I had no idea other people would be up at this hour!

I forgot to mention a thread using "Teamspeak". I have never been one for chat, or voice chat on the net. I followed a link the other night in this thread and was impressed! Liquid Smoke, and about 4 other people were in there TALKING. We were bring up ideas of additions to skins, improvements to Road Runner and a lot of other stuff. If any of you guys want to suggest someting about this skin, Road Runner, or just want to talk, PLEASE drop by! we were cutting up jokes and just having a good time over the past couple of days with this. This is a VERY small program/client you can download HERE (Link at the bottom of the page) Drop in and join in on the conversation!

If you are not aquantied with Teamspeak, it is a voice chat client that ALL of us on the forums can drop in and VERBALLY talk about skins, as questions, discuss problems with skin features and ask for future improvements or enhancements. I have made a point to leave it running in the system tray on my system. If anyone drops by, and I do not answer, I simply am not at the PC. (Thats maybe 10% of the time

) BUT this dosent mean that others are not in the room and ready to talk.

So find that desktop mic or headset that you already have, and stop by!

After you Install TeamSpeak, simply Click on this link to join in. teamspeak://66.221.110.68:8767 Its that simple!

Once you have the client installed on your PC the above link will take you directly to the CarPC VOICE chat. (If you want just save the above link as a desktop shortcut if you want) Using a Yahoo! widget here, I have found that this program uses LESS than 5k of bandwith, has no adware, ad's, or any other types of spam to use, You do not even need to provide an email address to use it!

Sorry if I seem looks like I am promoting this, but it is just simply a good way to comunicate and ask questions and get answers LIVE for anything CarPC related. It is far better than a post that may take me a couple days to respond to, or a PM, where you sit and wait for an answer. I am sure it may take a bit of time to become popular, but I have a feeling that it will......... and then some.

OK, you got me

I have been dealing with my strange sleep pattern since I was like 7! I personally do not have a problem with it, but I have gotten a lot of flack from my parents, friends, siblings ect over the years. Oh well..... bottom line....... I'm just me, so deal with it!

On the other hand, I guess I could go back to a "normal" routine, and just not work on or update the skin that often and such...... that is a good possibility actually. Let me know what you guys think.

No, no don't do that.

I meant no offense; I've just noticed how often you post in the middle of the night. You're probably like me in the sense that once I get started on something, especially if it's computer related, I can't stop until I have it right. I run into trouble with Wifey on that every now and then.

Except that people will end up discussing so much more than they originally came for and by the time they leave they will have forgotten the answer to the original question.

Oh and others that follow will probably ask the same question, so you'll end up answering the same question 20+ times

Don't worry, just pulling your chain. It seems like a good idea. Shame I can't use it while at work

Well.... You are probably right. Being that it is voice, we should have a machine to pick up when someone first connects:

Press 1 if you are experiencing a red dot when you move you finger across the screen.

Press 2 if iGuidance is not embedding properly.

Press 3 if your visualizations are not embedding and showing and have the standard window border.
