O.P. The following scripts are not compatible with Vista
1) IPGet
2) convo notifier
3) Typing notifier

Any ideas how to get them working guys? I really need them! :)

RE: The following scripts are not compatible with Vista
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.

Some scripts DO have EXEs (i.e. ReduceMEM 1.3)
So it might work, no?

Katie.


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.

Setting the properties of an exe like that does not change the exe! This means that if you repackage them, you wont 'store' the new compatibility setting. It will be lost.

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

No.
(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. :)

Well, all the stuff done in scripts which use the JScript Shell stuff etc (reg wrtiting/reading, file I/O, etc) are also ActiveX objects.

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)...
