Good luck in your endeauvers! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-1095 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 18:54:28 +0000 The Geek 1095@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ron,</p> <p>We try our best to be friendly here, but you are pushing your luck. You have copied the same post everywhere that you can, and haven't responded to any of our questions.</p> <p>I've asked you what the actual error message is in the other thread, you never responded. </p> <p>Please stop spamming the forum, or pay attention and answer the questions, or alternatively just find another application to use. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-1094 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 18:41:56 +0000 ronspeak 1094@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Ave's desktopsite. Looks like a great program but it won't work for me HELP PLEASE!.<br /> I loaded pgm to a download folder, unzipped and clicked .exe. Screen appeared to paste URL.<br /> When finished, a small website appeared on that screen and nowhere else including desktop.<br /> I got an error concerning a "hook" several times. Program does not appear in program<br /> list or in programs folder. Small icon does appear in task tray. I am unable to uninstall<br /> to try again. .exe file can not be deleted. I think the .exe should have put the program<br /> in the program files, but didn't. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-1060 Sat, 18 Aug 2007 19:06:38 +0000 supermansghost 1060@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>If you want interactive, you should put a sidebar gadget on the desktop. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-1059 Sat, 18 Aug 2007 17:57:09 +0000 Santo 1059@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hmm... :-(<br /> Pls try to make it interactive. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-1053 Sat, 18 Aug 2007 15:41:10 +0000 Ave 1053@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The app specifically stated that it is not interactive. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-1049 Sat, 18 Aug 2007 12:52:13 +0000 Santo 1049@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>After struggling for some time with errors I was able to install Ave's Active desktop and add a customized htm page(which has animated gif images, website links and this is stored in my notebook) as an active desktop background.<br /> With XP I was able to click on the links and it will directly take me to the websites and the gif animations work perfectly.<br /> But with Ave’s active desktop I am not able to click on any links and the gif animations do not work. It starts and then stops sometimes I need to press the F5 key to refresh for the animations to work.<br /> I hope that Ave will work on this and give us an update. Otherwise the software is good! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-900 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 03:06:11 +0000 supermansghost 900@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>That's interesting, I hadn't heard of SSDream before, thanks!</p> <p>williej:</p> <p>The moderators and the geeks that usually follow this forum try to be as friendly as possible, so hopefully overall you'll be treated well here. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-899 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 02:38:28 +0000 williej 899@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thank you vanetten, for the information without malice. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-839 Tue, 14 Aug 2007 00:47:06 +0000 vanetten 839@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The SSDream application now has a desktop simulator that draws your desktop icons on the desktop while it's running. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-783 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 18:15:49 +0000 Ave 783@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I'm not going to solve your issues if you are not going to use the app at all - this app is not a dreamscene clone. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/active-desktop-in-vsta/page/2#post-781 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:32:40 +0000 williej 781@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I was ready to make an donation until I notice my desktop icons were missing.
