LogDoc,

Its getting there, only just finished installing everything onto the new hard drive last night. I have definatly come to the conclusion that the 2d side of the unichrome pro IGP sucks, still yet to determine whether its a hardware or driver limitation. I will continue trying different cards and drivers until i hopefully hit the sweet spot.

CdR,

I have had an idea on how it might be possible to speed the skin up on the Via boards... Is it possible to turn of all the page fading, I have noticed this is chewing a hell of a lot of cpu power on this board... I have also noticed that once the seperate skin pages are loaded into the memory the skin in general runs pretty well, so i guess the question I have is it possible to load the pages into the memory on load of the skin? I know it'll take longer to load but i know i am willing to sacrifice the time for this beast

Cheers,
Kym

Does anyone have the problem of the music pausing after startup? I didn't remember seeing it posted yet...

When I start my carPC with this skin, it plays the startup music fine. Next the song I left it on plays where it left off during autoshutdown. but about 2 seconds after it starts my music, it pauses and I have to hit play again.

I'm starting to get the hang of D6 but i really need RR's OSK as i haven't figured that bit out yet.

Hello everyone,

Cdr, is this a real expectative in the near future?

CdR

Please don't kill Pacman, but you can kill space invaders if needed.

Thanks,

I will have a play in the next couple of days.. those that are wanting a osk key on the gps screen, are you sure its going to work ? if you type "OSK" including the " it will bring up rr's osk, but its how you will be returning focus back to d6.. also the menu dialog doesnt seem to close either.

CdR,

Just a quickie, on the web browser skin, what is the "ie" button suppose to do??? all that it does on every machine i have tried it on is bring up the OSK..
At a guess i'd say its suppose to be refresh, but i dunno...

Cheers,
Kym

yeah I think it should bring up the osk, then when you click enter .. enter the text into a new explorer.. you will need it setup to wirk with it in your rrconfig I think

hmm, Up untill this morning everything has been working perfectly and all of a sudden when I click on the visuals button in Audio player the visuals are loading behind RR. This wasn't the case before and I haven't changed anything. Any ideas
