Not starting on the right foot (MSCOMCTL.OCX)

Originally posted by LightsOnLogan 1. What "flavor" (home, business, etc.) of Vista is this? 2. Do you have UAC enabled or have you disabled it? 3. Do you have multiple users set up on the computer or is this a single user computer? 4. Are you part of an NT domain (if you don't know just skip this question)?

I don't think that he was referring to you specifically, per se, but to the overall tone of the posts in this thread.

That said, I wish you all had been "a fly on the wall" when the Vista and/or 64-bit issues first reared their ugly heads with LOR1 and LOR2(beta) earlier this year.  It wasn't pretty then either.  On the bright side, these issues are not fatal.  As Pony_God mentioned, there are many different versions of the OS out there, and each computer vendor often tweaks the OS for their specific system (bios, chipset, etc.)  I'm not a computer geek, but I think you get the idea.  It will take a little bit of time to fix these OS quirks, starting with the most common for everyone, and eventually moving on to the rarer events.

I posted the following this morning over at the D-Light Forums, but I'll post it here again, as it may prove helpful:

After bumbling around for a while, I began to realize just how much I had become accustomed to using a "glitchy" program (Spectrum). All the old headaches started to fade into memory, and I was actually able to work without feeling apprehensive about what might go wrong next. And by "work" I don't mean that I started sequencing. Far from it. I fiddled around with every function that caught my eye, making lots of test sequences, importing LOR/Spectrum files, importing configurations, trying the "Undo" function over & over, experimenting with many different pictures of our house, saving & re-opening, loading various music formats, loading various video formats, experimenting with starting/stopping/selecting via the timeline, trying the "Waveform to Event" function, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. The absolute worst thing you can do with any new audio-visual program is to sit down and expect to be able to create your show the first time you use it. For myself, I like to get so familiar with it that I can work fast when I'm ready, and I don't have to think about learning...I can focus on doing. But hey, that's just me.

As for adding 64 channels one by one. Yea. I'll admit that sucked. BUT, did you happen to go into the Wish list thread that I started? That's was in my first post.
