WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.

  chancho: <WannaBe> It's 64 bit.

Thanks for the link.

<E) Kaepernick basically panics.>

Montana was great in those situations.

  perfidious: Anyone play the over on the third quarter?
Feb-04-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  chancho: <WannaBe> If it isn't one thing it's another.

I download the 64 bit from the link you sent me.

I then change to Chess Viewer Deluxe II and it says:

<Application blocked by Security Settings.

Your security settings have blocked untrusted application from running.>

  chancho: <WannaBe> I went to Java Control Panel and clicked on security.

It was in the very high setting.

I lowered it to the recommended setting, but I still cannot get the Chess Deluxe Viewer to work.

  WannaBe: <chancho> what about enabling 'Mix Mode', under 'Advanced' tab, about 3/4 way down?
Feb-04-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  chancho: <WannaBe> Enabling mix mode did the trick.

Thanks.

  WannaBe: <chancho> Good... Now my Win7 Ultimate work machine is hosed... Browser refuse to do anything if I select a game.

Grrrrrrrr!

Feb-04-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Well, this is F****** up, both my Win7 Ult and Win8 Pro won't run games after Java 7 update 13...

Grrrrrrrrr.

Feb-04-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Solved the Win7 problem, the installer from Oracle is 'dumb', I have to:

Control Panel -> Java -> Java -> View -> Add -> C: -> Program Files -> Java -> JRE 7 -> Bin -> Next -> Finish

STUPID!!!

Now, if I can only find the same thing in Win8, because WinDoze decided to hide/change every freakin' d@ng thing!

Feb-04-13
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Weird, that issue only happens with Win7 Ult. with Win7 Pro it does not happen.

(I am also guess not with Home, I think <chancho> have home edition...)

And I did not need to re-enable mixed mode on the Ult. and Pro. edition.

  chancho: <WannaBe> I have Windows 7 home premium on my PC and Windows 7 starter on my Acer Aspire.

  WannaBe: Win8 solved, somehow the update (did, or something I did) wiped out JRE, after a complete re-install, things are cool.

  WannaBe: IE10 got this Enhanced Protection Mode that keeps on turning off my java stuff when I am on CG.

Turned it off, Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced, about the 10th check box from bottom.

Wireless spotty, not sure if it's the wireless antennae or the wireless adaptor in the XPS 12, or if Win8 screwed something up, sometimes have to reboot Win8 for it to connect to Wireless Access Point in office.

  WannaBe: If you like to 'design' your own desktop's icons, Win8 with XPS12 may not be the best option for you.

e.g. I like to have my folders on the right hand side, with my Recycle Bin on the bottom right hand corner.

My left hand side are all short cuts and/or files that I need to get access to quickly.

Since the XPS 12 is a convertible, and you can rotate the screen, it screws up the layout of the icons everytime you turn the dang thing on Desktop Mode.

Grrrrr....

  WannaBe: Games, solitaire, freecell, hearts, or spider solitaire, are gone, under the Game tile are Xbox games, and you need to be online.

Haven't found a way to get around this yet... Need to look some more.

Flakers losing at Beantown, UCLA at home against Huskies. :-)

  WannaBe: Correction, Flakers are getting killed in Boston...
Feb-07-13  Jim Bartle: I can't believe both games are on my cable system. Never happens. But I'm watching the 1977 NBA All-Star game.

  WannaBe: <JB> I am watching the UCLA-Huskies, now the Flakers are losing by 30...
