then theres only one option muz

Kill him first?

kill or be killed!

One step ahead of ya ; )

sorry :/

iRivers are a pain in the arse

I want to charge it via USB, but it's currently disabled so I can access the drive, so I turn it on and it turns itself off complaining about "low battery" thus I can't turn on the USB charging option `_�

i tried to set my thing too high once and had to restart in safe mode

my moniter is now off and i am sleeping

im going to get less than 4 hours of sleep

i am a moron

Sleep well : 0

Wow, 1280x960 looks *tiny* on a 17" monitor. Reminds me of the time I drove a 12" IBM PS/2 SVGA monitor to 1024x768

*: )

My laptop's a 15" and it runs 1400x1050 fine

I used to use 1280x1024 on a 15" monitor...

In fact, it looks stupid if it's not 1400x1050 to me

it will do if that's its proper resolution

Nah, all monitors look... "wrong" to me if it's not 1400x1050

It's like my inability to use a normal keyboard sufficiently, I'm too adjusted to my laptop's flat smooth keys and lack of spacing and numpad

Muz: 1400x1050 is not a standard resolution

screen[1400x1050 32bit 60Hz]

Heh

This video card does go up to 2048x1536...

Is your laptop's LCD a standard 4:3 aspect ratio?

Nae

BGreeNZ: I've been using 1280x960 on a 17" for years and everything else looks now *huge* ;)

Muz: So, a standard 4:3 mode such as 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, or 1280x960 looks stretched (non-square pixels)?

That 12" PS/2 display always displayed things with a 1" black border, so the actual image was 10" diagonally.

Everything else just looks... wrong

I can't place my finger on it, but I look at it and just don't like it

That's 8" horizontally, so 1024x768 is 128 dpi!

Refresh rate in that mode on that antiquated piece of equipment was 43Hz interlace, of course, so guaranteed to knacker your eyesight in 10 minutes ;-)

IIRC, it wouldn't display 800x600 properly (probably needed a 56Hz refresh rate), so I ran it at 640x480 most of the time

320x200 (ugh) didn't actually look bad on that beast....

320 pixels / 8 inches = a quite respectable 40dpi :)

Errrr

My PDA is 240x320

3:4 portrait?

Yeah

I can hold it horizontally though and view movies/play games that way round : P

Muz: You run 1400x1050 on a standard 4:3 monitor?

No, on my laptop's "widescreen" monitor

My other monitor uses a...

Ah. It's just you said all monitors looked weird when *not* set to 1400x1050

Yeah they do

Even my Linux box's monitor looks funny to me :\

1280x1024

Hmm. 1400x1050 has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Interesting

1280x1024 is (unfortunately) *not* 4:3. 1280x960 is

1280 / 1024 = 1.25 = 5:4

hey why do some albums not bring up the green icon, instead have the words "open in tagger"

because it doesn't work when they are like that for me

what browser? firefox?

and if yes, with adblock?

yes firefox

and adblock

luks, but it only happens sometimes

i don't know, i always worked fine for me

BGreeNZ: why?

Running Win98SE and WinME. After installing Picard 0.6.0, it crashes whenever I try to run it.

hm

TAGGER caused an invalid page fault in module MSVCR71.DLL at 0187:7c350513.

I have Python 2.3.5 and Python 2.4.1 installed

IIRC, the ME computer has ActivePython 2.2 installed, but it's just been shutdown, so I can't check to be sure

i had this problem on my win98 virtual pc box, but with the new version of libtunepimp it just disapeared

picard-setup-0.6.0.exe filesize is 4,865,461 bytes, create (download) date 15 Feb

i'll try to install win98 somewhere later today

debugging on win98 is no fun :/

Picard is written in Python, right?

yes, but the core tagging functionality is in libtunepimp

which is in c/c++

and heavily multithreaded

Ah. So I can't just grab the source and run it :(

For some light entertainment, check out my somewhat humorous attempt to fix the problem myself:

http://chatlogs.musicbrainz.org/2006/2006-02/20... 06:20:25

Err, I mean 06:15:51

i think this bug wouldn't be hard to fix, but first i would have to find it :)

so i would need to install full devel environment on a win98 box

and do some low-level debugging

Sorry, I can't help you there (unless, of course, someone is willing to port it to FreePascal ;-) )

i think it calls some function that is not (properly) implemented in older versions of standard windows dlls

something unicode related i guess

But, MSVCR71.DLL is provided *with* the Picard distribution

yeah, but msvcr71.dll depends on other libraries

like kernel32.dll, user32.dll, etc.

"100 top websearches in 2005"

number 1 will clearly be porn

luks: I am looking at the Dependency Walker for tagger.exe. Where should I look to find the error?

no idea :)

i know this worked for me

I just told Dependency Walker to profile tagger.exe. Do you want me to past the debugging log?

paste

sure

I'll pm it to you

ok

oops

use pastebin.com :)

Okay, I'll try that. Did you get my last PM?

GetProcAddress(0x1E000000 [PYTHON24.DLL], "PyErr_Format") called from "TAGGER.EXE" at address 0x00401A06 and returned 0x1E055EF0. was the last like

line

It also seemed to look for APPHELP.DLL, USERENV.DLL, and UNICOWS.DLL, but could not find them

hmm, it looked for unicows

No wonder I got kicked off freenode :)

and i think there is still something missing :)

Looks like PasteBin still didn't get all of it :(

last line is "GetProcAddress(0x02160000 [LIBMUSICBRAINZ." :)

How much of this stuff is actually relevant?

hey with picard how come when it doesn't auto cluster the files into albums I have to drag the files one by one into it's album?

it would be much easier if I could select them all at once and drag them in together

also when I click lookup in picard it will open 2 tabs in firefox of the same web pate

page**

luks: I have the debug log saved in a 162KB HTML file with the original formatting and colour-coding

Where can I upload it?

these dependencies are actually not very useful for catching that bug

you can email me it

deadchip is now known as dc|away

MSDN

i can download any MS operating system i need for testing

Legally? That's pretty cool (pity their OS'es went from crap to worse after Win95)

yes legally

but of course with restricted use

i switched to winxp from linux
