I would sure like to try this, while I am on the Island, but I cannot find a cab installer for it. Anyone have a link to the .cabs by chance?

I just downloaded the latest version and it does not work. Can not see the tabs, the icon space is way to small ... the today screen is useless.

Brad Isaac · #5 07-10-2004, 08:17 PM

knelson,
Something is wrong with that. I've got the beta and it works fine.

knelson · #6 07-10-2004, 08:36 PM

I can not figure out anyway to change it ... the last version was fine, but I did not keep a copy of it.

Brad Isaac · #7 07-10-2004, 11:01 PM

I've got the cab from May 22 I could email it to you if that would help.

knelson · #8 07-11-2004, 02:03 AM

that might help.... this is really a drag. I can not find out what the issue might be.

Brad Isaac · #9 07-11-2004, 11:54 AM

Ok, I've sent it via email. Please let me know if you don't get it.

I installed 2.1 and now my tabs are gone also. I haven't tried 2.1b2. Unfortunately, I cannot find my 2.0 install. I see other folks are having troubles with the tabs also. At least I'm not alone. I have an Asus A716.

Hi Keith, would you mind letting me know if this took care of the problem or not? Thanks!

knelson · #12 07-11-2004, 07:35 PM

that took care of the problem for me. Something is wrong with the latest release so rolling back did the trick.

Keith, if you wouldn't mind (I don't want to put you to any trouble), could you send me the file? I would really appreciate it. My addy is

Note: I did not send him a registered cab file, it was the .cab from the trial installer they have on handango.

Cold_War_Relic · #15 07-12-2004, 01:53 AM

Keith was kind enough to help me out and send me the older cab file. Worked like a charm. So for at least two of us, there is a bug with the latest version and missing tabs. Interesting.

i guess it's important to remember this is probably why it's a beta.

knelson · #17 07-13-2004, 02:55 AM

I was not using the beta version... it was the full release. I am a registered user.

jkendrick · #18 07-13-2004, 03:01 AM

sorry, the topic said Beta so i just assumed that's what you were using. i've heard others are having similar problems.

knelson · #19 07-13-2004, 03:18 AM

I know I posted under the wrong heading....
What I really want to know is how can I get more stars

jkendrick · #20 07-13-2004, 03:40 AM

Interestingly enough, I've done a little research on your PPlus problem. Seems that VGA devices don't exhibit the symptoms but iPaQs and Asus do.

You have to bribe Brad.

knelson · #22 07-16-2004, 01:30 AM

I have to tell you SBP does not offer any support - quite a disapointment... I am using an old version but I filled in a support request and updated it about 10 times ... they just do not respond.

Cold_War_Relic · #23 07-16-2004, 01:57 AM

I did actually get a response from them telling me to uninstall and reinstall (typical scripted response). I replied that I had already done that and have heard nothing since.

bkbroil · #24 07-16-2004, 02:11 AM

knelson,
Thanks for the tip.....haven't heard from you in a while...how have things been? Sorry about Shaq...what's been happening ?

knelson · #25 07-16-2004, 02:38 AM

I have been hanging around... just got back from vacation...
Lakers are going to be a rebuilding team for some years.... I think Kobe and Shaq could have won a few more rings together.
