I'm using dfx4 and trying to get the Garmin overlay to work, the program fires up perfectly but i get no overlay at all i am using lord nicons instructions and have gotten a the button to fire up garmin but i get no overlay at all then i have to shut down garmin and press esc on my mini keyboard to get back the the main skin i have attached my config files to get look at i hope there is just something simple im missing.

Also i am using the 1.3 ver of Elcomenu so it works with riderunner

"GMPC_OVERLAY","RUN;$SKINPATH$ElcosMenu.exe|GMPCOL .skin" ---->GMPCOL .skin
"GMPCOSK","RUN;$SKINPATH$ElcosMenu.exe|GMPCOSK.ski n" -------->GMPCOSK.ski n
"X_OVERLAY","SENDMSG;ElcosMenu;Exit"
"GMPC","LOAD;GMPC.skin"
"RUNGMPC", "RUN;$garminpath$;!CDP" --------------------------->", "

I think it is a forum glitch because even just posting it make more errors in the code more spaces where there is not any when its typed out

Ok, for getting the overlay working in DFX 4.0...this is what i did:

Firstly, to make sure that you are getting Garmin Mobile PC to load, make sure you have these 2 lines in RR.ini:

gpsname=Garmin=C:\GarminMobilePC\Que.exe
garminpath=C:\GarminMobilePC\Que.exe

Then in your DFX4.0 skin folder, find Exectbl.ini and you need to make a few changes:

1st: Find the ------Embed External Applications------- section and make sure the Garmin/Gps line says this:

"Garmin","LOAD;Garmin_GPS.skin;!CDP_FIELD_WND;C:\G arminMobilePC\Que.exe;!CDP_FIELD_WND"

2nd: Find the ------Dynamic Menu Buttons------ section (down the bottom of the file) and make sure you have this line:

"MyApp53","GMPC||GMPC_OVERLAY||RUNGMPC"

3rd: Find the ----GPS Section By BlueZX3 & JohnWPB----- section (VERY bottom of the file) and then add these 5 lines:

"GMPC_OVERLAY","RUN;$SKINPATH$ElcosMenu.exe|GMPCOL .skin"
"GMPCOSK","RUN;$SKINPATH$ElcosMenu.exe|GMPCOSK.ski n"
"X_OVERLAY","SENDMSG;ElcosMenu;Exit"
"GMPC","LOAD;GMPC.skin"
"RUNGMPC", "RUN;$garminpath$;!CDP"

When i was looking at how all the files talked to each other in DFX4.0, i noticed that it was all done in the ini's and not the skin files like the other skins. So if you have made any changes to the skin files, restore them to original, make the changes i listed above and it *should* work...did for me (wonderfully i might add)....and i am very grateful to Monkey for initially creating this...
