How-To Geek

Hallo

I'd been looking for realisation of Active Desktop under Vista and found AveDesktopSites. Unfortunately, after the installation, when I run the program and add a site to show on my desktop just nothing happens (there is no firewall and errors during installation/running).

The description of the program and its streenshots look just great and I am craving to make it work, so if anyone knows how to fix it, it'd be just wonderful.

Thanks in advance,
Moisha

Thank you, but it does not work :(

I am sorry I did not mention it at first: I used a solid color wallpaper and the Windows Standard scheme.

Any ideas why the program just has no effect?

No error messages, no nothing.

I downloaded AveDesktopSites2.zip, which contained AveDesktopSites.exe
and desktophook.dll. Then I ran the exe-file, which ran ok, set a site to display on my desktop, but nothing appeared on the desktop.

Now I've got the program in the tray, http://www.howtogeek.com at top=0, left=0, width=200, height=200, refresh=5 sec, buh nothing is displayed at the desktop.

Thank you for your attention, I will be happy if we make it work somehow

Yes, it works!
Thank you so very much, that's great :)

Thanks!

Good question, one best answered by the author, found at the bottom of one of his pages:

It does say Visual Studio 2005 SP1 needs to be installed.

Bump...
