Just found out that you can hit CTRL+C to get the text AND button names
of any message box... cool! :) Amazing what you never knew before.

This is great for reporting error messages! It works fine in Windows XP. Does anyone know if it works in older Windows versions?

are you calling my wonderful
MacroSquat Operation Systeme
a dead ferret? :oops:

If anyone has an original w98se CD
and license for it which they would
like to give away to me for free;
I would be happy to try that version!
(maybe then my plug and pray
USB and firewire would also work)
:roll:

I really thought you were trying to play a joke on us. BTW, I found out accidentally that, if you drop 1 1/2 litre of coffe over your CPU, it runs as much as 150% faster! Confirmed! :D
