Display Picture Changer - Released by Hah on 08-23-2003 at 11:59 PM

UPDATE - There seems to be a problem when using XP and this software, where you will get an automation error. I have tried to fix it without success. Sometimes it works fine on XP sometimes it doesnt :( - I believe its something to do with Windows Messenger but with it installed it does some funky unwanted things like opening My Recieved Files. So for now this program is for Windows 2000 and below. If anyone can help me in this matter please contact me on thomasgreenwood@2die4.com, Thanks

UPDATE - please download new installer.
Hey Everyone

Here it is, Ive heard many request it, so here you go ppl.

It will change the pic to a random file (from the ones you specify) at a time interval, which again you set.

I have fixed all the bugs that me and some people found, and its running pretty well.

It will Change Your Pic Automatically at a time interval
Very Easy To Use
All Settings are saved to file or the registry for convenience and to save time.
It will hide in the tray, when in use, or when you click Minimize To tray.
Install/Uninstall Included.

To do List:
On Status = Certain Picture

Problem by Parasite on 08-24-2003 at 07:17 AM

You said contact you if we had a problem, well I have a problem, doesn't lie in your software but in my computer.  You see, long story short, I have this DEMIURG virus.  It infects .exe's, .com's and .xml's.  So some .exe's I try to download end up corrupted. 

Yes, I know, reformat.  Tried that, but the virus has corrupted whatever file sequence is needed to boot into DOS on startup and to shutdown and restart in DOS. Screen goes black and nothing happens.  Tried disinfecting but it infects the Kernell so I can't disinfect all the files, because some are in use by windows.  Basically I am fucked until I build my new computer, which it's about time for. 

Sorry I had to go through that whole rendition of my computers life story but I don't need any ''just reformat'' or ''quarantine it, use a virus remover'' and the always helpful ''get rid of it from DOS''....   from people who think they can help.... 

ANYWAYS, finally to the reason for this post, I can't download the .exe and was wondering if it is an installer which installs the needed .dll's and such to run the program.  If so, I was wondering if there is a way to send me each file needed from the .exe, if not then oh well, guess I can't get this program.  I would really like to have it. 

Just my luck I suppose, heh.  My e-mail is ToadMan420@hotmail.com possibly you could send me the files there or add me to messenger and send me them that way.

Hello

RE: Display Picture Changer - Released by Whacko on 08-24-2003 at 11:58 AM

hmmz are you using some sort of macro?? cos it doesnt work very well :P

at the set interval it opens "my received files" and opens "my favorites" list in that window.


RE: Display Picture Changer - Released by Hah on 08-24-2003 at 01:21 PM

Jetli - U Need the VB6 Runtime Files, Search Google, its easily found, and I will update the installer to install comdlg32 for older machines e.g 95/98/Me. - Give me an hour to update, im bit busy

Whacko - I know about that problem, im having to use SendKeys until I learn more about using menus in the Win32 Api. However, it should work fine on all English Versions of MSN6, as long as you dont click away focus as its running the script.

Apart From That, all done, oh and Parasite contact me on MSN m8ty.

Thanks,

Hah

I've changed the scripting a little, it might be a little better

RE: Display Picture Changer - Released by JetLi on 08-24-2003 at 04:10 PM

thnx.

thats work great. but one error:

Run-Time error '-2147024770 (8007007e)' Automation error :'(:S:(:| if I klick START


RE: Display Picture Changer - Released by Hah on 08-24-2003 at 04:31 PM

k - will look into it JetLi - no idea why though :(

Do you have MSN6 Running when you click Start?

Which MSN6 Windows do you have open

Do you have any other versions of MSN running?


RE: Display Picture Changer - Released by Hah on 08-24-2003 at 04:51 PM

Jetli, when u come on, can u test this version for me.

It will tell you the exact error, but will allow the program to continue running. And so I can find out the source of the error.

I think its something to do with one of the API Calls I use, because I use the api calls to open the Main MSN Window.

Thanks

Hah


RE: Display Picture Changer - Released by JetLi on 08-24-2003 at 05:34 PM

Hallo

I have test the another version. I have klick Start, then this error:

"There has been an error: Automation error". then klick Ok.

Then say "The Programm may now be unable to change the MSN Picture."

I have Msn Messenger 6.0.0602 en Msn Plus 2.20.53

MfG JetLi
