RE: getting a message and a sound together
If you're talking about text-to-speech, I've written a script to do just that, using Windows's default TTS engine. It narrates your contact's messages with the option of saying display names as well as your own messages. Hopefully this'll help, ... | ryxdp | Scripting | 11-12-2010 at 11:39 AM |
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released
What? I don't use XP, that's the weird thing. I'm on 7, plus I'm also on the latest version (14.0.8117.416). So far it hasn't bugged me again, it's letting me sign in and everything, but it did try to get me to redownload the 2011 suite from W... | ryxdp | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-23-2010 at 12:25 AM |
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released
It's weird. I attempted to log into WLM9, but it wouldn't let me unless I upgraded. Eventually I gave in and just clicked Yes, but it didn't appear to do anything: it's still WLM9 but I can log in now. I have no idea if this will last though, so ... | ryxdp | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-20-2010 at 07:23 AM |
RE: Windows Live Essentials 2011 released
Yeah, I downgraded to 2009 again only to find that it wouldn't let me sign in because "The Windows Live Messenger team has identified an important security issue in Messenger." And of course they seem to have removed personal messages as well, un... | ryxdp | Skype & Live Messenger | 10-20-2010 at 06:12 AM |
RE: [request] Games in the "Show media"
Yes it does, but it doesn't set the Now Playing message properly since the formatting change in WLM9. In the case of my tweaked AppMon+, the problem can be easily fixed by distributing the information displayed, as if either the title or artist par... | ryxdp | Scripting | 09-02-2010 at 11:39 AM |
RE: [?] Displaying steam status in PSM
Ah, thank you very much! I just got rid of all mentions of exename and exenamey and made both path strings lower case so they matched exactly. Now it works perfectly. | ryxdp | Scripting | 08-12-2010 at 08:49 AM |
RE: [?] Displaying steam status in PSM
It seems so, but as I said, I have very little experience with this WMI thing, plus I'm a bit rusty on my JScript. Little help, anyone? And is it alright if I post the responsible parts of the code so people can help and/or tell me what it does exa... | ryxdp | Scripting | 08-11-2010 at 08:22 AM |
RE: [?] Displaying steam status in PSM
Thanks guys. AppMon+ seems pretty good, but it seems to need a bit of tweaking to get it work completely with WLM9/Windows 7... the open file dialog doesn't show up. The XML thing might work if Steam stores the XML file locally (I don't want to kee... | ryxdp | Scripting | 08-08-2010 at 04:23 AM |
[?] Displaying steam status in PSM
I searched around a bit but I'm sure it's been asked before. Is there a way to get what game you're playing in Steam? It seems plausible but I'd say it'd be mostly done with DLLs and not JScript, right? Thanks :P | ryxdp | Scripting | 08-07-2010 at 04:11 AM |
RE: Check whether control is focused
Thanks a lot, it seems to be working perfectly now :P I just wasn't sure if it'd return what I wanted, from what the MSDN article said it seemed like it included entire windows as well. | ryxdp | Scripting | 04-11-2010 at 11:59 PM |
Check whether control is focused
I have an EditControl that, when the text changes, checks whether it's focused (there is a secondary EditControl that does exactly the same). I searched the forums and found the GetFocus function via SetFocus, but the function doesn't seem to have ... | ryxdp | Scripting | 04-11-2010 at 09:12 AM |
RE: How can i get MSN to run in my notification bar?
...which I outlined in my post. It's really up to him whether he does it or not, hopefully he now knows what the consequences are if he decides to use it. In any case, I wasn't exactly advising him to use it; I told him how it would be done and th... | ryxdp | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-11-2010 at 08:10 AM |
RE: How can i get MSN to run in my notification bar?
Go to C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger and open the properties for msnmsgr.exe. Then select the Compatibility tab and set it to Windows Vista SP2. This should do the trick, although it's not recommended to do it as some features of Messeng... | ryxdp | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-11-2010 at 06:42 AM |
RE: text links in quick messages,is it possible?
You could have the actual destination in a tooltip when you hover over the link, but sadly I just don't see the general user base "getting it". The current way is much safer, yes, and much easier for people to know how it works. | ryxdp | WLM Plus! Help | 03-06-2010 at 08:39 PM |
RE: Tips at sign in
No, sometimes Messenger comes up with these "Tips" about how to use Messenger and so on. It's not Windows Live Today, they just randomly pop up every once in a while at sign-in. It seems there's just no way to stop these coming up. | ryxdp | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-05-2010 at 10:52 AM |
RE: New Motherboard
It's SATA, it doesn't need jumpers :P Perhaps there's something on the drive that's causing it to load the Recovery Options? | ryxdp | Tech Talk | 03-05-2010 at 05:21 AM |

RE: Name this socket
That looks like a BNC connector to me. I've got one of them, it says Telstra on it but it's being used for digital TV. It needs a power booster cause the signal around here isn't too good, and a BNC-to-TV aerial convertor so it can plug into the T... | ryxdp | Tech Talk | 02-23-2010 at 10:50 AM |
RE: WLM2010 concept skin
Wouldn't that sort of be the point of having the white background there? It'd be much better if that white background was in the contact list as well, and have all the free space glassed. It looks very nice, but a few tweaks here and there wouldn... | ryxdp | Skin Requests | 02-17-2010 at 10:21 PM |

Changing User Picture on Win7
Since the DP Sync script has been rendered useless by Windows 7, I thought I'd try to update it for myself. It seems that the Shell.Users ActiveXObject doesn't exist anymore or has been moved in 7, but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know wh... | ryxdp | Scripting | 02-04-2010 at 07:43 AM |
RE: Greetings! I require assistance.
[s]Do they work in Windows Photo Viewer? If you're on XP they should be animated, but for some reason in Vista and Windows 7, it only shows the first frame. Also, is it under 200KB in size?

Or unless you don't even use the features which have issues. As long as you don't use tabbed chats, etc. everything seems to work properly. | ryxdp | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-25-2010 at 12:19 AM |
RE: Recover sounds
Well, the download page for the VB6 package doesn't say Windows 7 anywhere (or Vista for that matter)...and if it's shipped with 7 as your link says, shouldn't it be just working?

RE: Recover sounds
It looks like some of the stuff the COMCTL32.OCX needs is missing in Windows 7. As for the VB redistributable, as it's not supported in 7 it doesn't seem to install properly. | ryxdp | WLM Plus! Help | 01-23-2010 at 02:22 AM |
