In Reply to: RE: Thanks to Grant - "minimize" is part of user32.dll posted by rickmcinnis@dogwoodfabrics.com on February 05, 2012 at 22:03:27
No more squeals.
Loads files quickly.
There is no question some of that stuff (I had deleted) is important!
Thanks, again, to Grant!

You are using now completely unhacked version?
Don't know if I should try, but I have no squeals ano problem loading files at all. I have taken fresh user and tweaked it a la Grant, only probably one or two dialogs less - I left native cursor and strings with minimize-maximize. Working perfectly. The problems You say about may be due to excessive registry deletions. I cannot make my system hive less than 412 kb, it bluescreens constantly, and I know that Mr.Wong has his config folder under 300 kb total.
Serge.
P.S. His SAM is 8 kb!, I think I will ask him to send it for me to see what else can be done. Also I have deleted more from software, will send later for You to see.
I had the problem start when I FINALLY installed the files you had sent instead of my hacked versions of the files I thought you were using.
I could only tell there was a difference by the size of completely hacked versions - yours were still smaller than mine.
I did the swap as an all at once operation and maybe I should have done it in stages as you recommended. But now the machine is running happily so I will leave it alone for the time being.
But now with Grant's minimally hacked user32 all is well. I iwll see how much more can be taken away and he is doing the same. Neither of us claim that this is the FINAL version but it did point the way for those who want to be able to minimize the cPLAY screen - for which I remain skeptical but all small things add up!
I would also like to hear the reasoning on the black screen. Being a cics loyalist I would like to know why this is better.
Of course, I was stuck with the default blue screen with nothing in DEFAULT before and must say I like the black one better!
Maybe the XPHome SAM allows one to see more stuff to get rid of? I do not think if we deleted EVERYTHING out of our SAM files would we have that same result.
I exchanged some emails with Jack and he said '...I've been dealing with electronics and noise which is the by-products. I love listening to music with absolute dark background so I've remove display chips and use batteries to achieve such effect.
After I saw this.

I tried and the sound was promising. However, it needs a graphic driver to work with. I then explored other means and eventually used the background color to shut off the display...'
A black body in thermodynamics is a minimum radiation (video interference in this case) source. So the color simulates a shut off display. Very, very clever!!
I have never tried it since I worried my mouse function has been minimized!
But the way I read that - this is very different.
That procedure, seems to me, turns off the monitor - disables it and then re-enables it. Which I would think would be ideal.
Has anyone every got it to work?
I do think good things are happening with the tweak. Since I did them all at once and I am skeptical about the black monitor thing I think the security entries being turned off is the big reason it has made an improvement. Plus my monitor looks like it is glowing black, not exactly turned off black!
I am skeptical about the black monitor thing . . .
As I understand it, monitors typically draw more power to display black than white. Before I stopped using the wretched things in an audio PC, I did measurements that tended to confirm that although the difference was a couple of per cent only. What difference, if any, it makes to the PC side, I've no idea.

...I am in the process of un-hacking some stuff in dialogue/strings in USER32 so I can ADD / REMOVE folders & disks in cmp. I found in the past that when you have multiple disks or folders it sounds better when only the one necessary to run is loaded.
I would insert the orignal, do what I needed to do and then go back to the hacked.
Now, I have not had a need to do this since installing Serge's shell32.
My issue is a little different. I have 3 data disks. When all are loaded it works fine. Also I can remove 2 so I can just listen to one. However when I try reload (the Removed discs or folders) nothing shows in the CMP screen...like there are no others. I want to do this all the time back and forth to get the sonic benefit. My CMP sounds better when a minimum of discs/folders are loaded in CMP.
