Windows

I’m prepareing to start proper codeing on some of my tools again, mainly speaking of SteamUtility here but not limited to it :)

So i’ve moved all stuff into a dedicated VM and fit everything for quick access.

Should make codeing alot easier and faster since now it’s all cleaned and placed in categories, optimized for quick access.

Oh and if you’re a webdev, forget about XAMPP it’s dirty and bloaded use EasyPHP for latest or WAMPServer if you need to switch between PHP versions easily!

Yesterday, i solved a long mysterious bhavior of  Winamp5 together with my all loved Jammix Enhancer plugin!

What was the problem? Well, it appeared that i was unable to pull the Jammix window from tray into window/foreground mode, it always just popped up for milliseconds, and dissapeared into the tray icon again.

I´m now on Windows7, and this issue start to begun on Vista. Never really found a solution, using Google and search for a solution also brought no results, left alone, with the feeling it only happens on my side, i lived without Jammix for about 8 Months!

2days ago i had to reinstall my W7 system (some systemfiles where damaged and i and windows wheren´t able to repair it).

Yesterday i reinstalled Winamp, and also gave Jammix another try,  it still failed like described above..

Then, i have no idea why i tried it, probably a result of my frustration, i right clicked on my Winamp icon, moved forward to the “Compatibility” tab, and marked “Run as administrator” and clicked “OK”.

So, i restarted winamp, as administrator, clicked the Jammix tray icon, and bam! There it was, my all so much loved Jammix Enhancher menu, after 8 long months i had it back!

However, there is still some odd mystery for me, my user account, i run everythin with, is already anAdministrator account, so why i have to, basicaly re-run, it as “administrator”?

I might left out some stuff when reading stuff about the workwise of the Vista/7 usermanagment (Tbh i´m not reading really documentations at all).

Anyway, i´m happy as it is now, it runs, sound is kickin´ again, i don´t need anything more!

YAY!
