The following scripts are not compatible with Vista by kryp2nyt on 06-08-2007 at 10:00 AM
1) IPGet
2) convo notifier
3) Typing notifier
Any ideas how to get them working guys? I really need them!

Have you tried extracting the scripts, right-clicking on the EXE then go to "Properties" then "Compatibility" tab, and tick "RUn as Administrator", click OK. Do this for all the EXE's, and repack them.

Scripts are not EXE files, so that wont work .

I was just about to say that!
So, any ways about it?

just because that has an exe, doesn't mean others do.
And scripts are packed in a pslc file which is exactly the same as a zip file, not exe.

Thus even if setting the compatibility thing to admin would have fixed the problems, repackaging them and redistributing them will not work.

(And the exe in the original ReduceMem script is nothing more than a file which executes one Windows API. The exe isn't even needed). The reason why some scripts do not work on Vista hasn't got anything todo with being administrator.
The scripts that do not work quite often use external libraries or other things which were written for XP and use XP specific Windows APIs, etc...
For example, all scripts which use the Xniff library (search forums with Xniff for more info) have troubles running in Vista because Xniff isn't entirly compatible with Vista. Both Convo Notifier and Typing Notifier are such scripts. And the IPGet script uses XP specific stuff. All this can't be made 'working' with anything unless they are totally reprogrammed.

I would actually say Vista isn't compitable with Xniff. I havn't seen one ActiveX object working on Vista.

The problem is how those (faulty) ActiveX libraries are written and what (incompatible) APIs they use, and even the (lack of) user rights (which is the biggest problem I think with stuff like Xniff)...

Forgive my 'untechnical' mind, but is there any way to make those things run??

As always, Cookie is correct. For IPGet I was using a sniffer library that I found online. Now I'm creating my own sniffer library. Wait for new version to come out in a bit.

Thanks for clearing stuff up for me, but if I remember correctly, Bill Gates have said that Vista is pretty much made with ease for program developpers, no?
