Thanks for the explanation and I've noted your advice on posting Thanks again

Sorry to post this but I'm having a bit of brain freeze. Trying to print some simple text to a window using a standard textgadget, but when I try and get it to display the & character it doesn't display it, just a space where it should be. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

Any help appreciated ...

Can I just add that when I run the same code on the same laptop that has vista installed, the code runs fine and doesn't crash the laptop. So is it XP? the XP intel driver? who knows? I am running it with the vista intel driver and it's fine, so am I happy.

Too right I am

I know this has been touched on already, but I wanted to clarify it.

Whenever I use a sprite command with the parameter #PB _Sprite_Texture my whole system crashes to the blue screen. I have tried this on a number of machines and it happens on all of them. The only thing they have in common is ...

Just wanted to say thanks for a great tutorial, I have been trying to do this for days now and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. So I decided to look at the board and there it was the very first post, within a couple of minutes it was up and running. Thanks again.

Does anyine know how to include an animated gif into the exe?. At the moment i'm using a web gadget and loading the gif from disk, but it would make it easier to be able to distribute a single exe.

min = 0
#spin = 1
#hours = 2
#sepa = 3
#mins = 4
#time = 5
hr=12:hr$="12"
hWnd = OpenWindow(0,0,0,100,100,"TIME",#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
If hwnd=0 Or CreateGadgetList ...

Yeah thanks netmaestro, I never thought of that. I'll give that a go and see if it works. if it does, it means I can get on with watching the Worldcup !!

Trond,

I tried your code, but it didn't work as there is no-one logged into the pc. I'll try and explain better.

When I turn on an XP proffessional desktop which is a member of a domain, it boots up to a login prompt. The service I have written runs and connects to a streaming media server. This ...

Trond,

When I said it was self explanatory I meant "my question", If I already knew the answer do you really think I would have asked the question?

Secondaly, when the service runs, no window is displayed ( do you really think I didn't try this?) hense the question

Thirdly, To create a service ...

Newbie (?) just because I don't spend my time submitting posts doesn't make me a newbie.

Anyway, to try and clarify what I am asking as some seem to be getting a bit confused.

I want to run a program as a service, which I can do with no problems, but I have seen some apps that can display a ...

Hi all,

Is it possible to open and display a window without having to login to a Windows XP machine? i.e. at the login prompt.

Sprite3DQuality(1) worked a treat, I can't belive i missed that. Thanks for the help.

I am trying to display a 3d Sprite but when it displays, there seems to be some corruption in the sprite. But if I just display a normal sprite it displays fine. Am I doing something wrong?
