Hallo Franz,

vielen Dank für deine Mühen,der Emu macht mir sehr viel Spaß! Keine Wünsche... Auch mir kannst du jetzt die Rechnung schicken

Gruß,Stefan

Hello Franz,

I also would like to praise and thank you for the excellent job of building and expanding CB-Emu to what it has become now. It's one of the most fun chessprograms I have and I use it a lot! No special wishes left on my part, so if there's a bill I will take my part!

Just one small problem now that I think of it: The program does not work on my EEE PC netbook. It used to work under Windows XP without any problem, but I 'upgraded' to Windows 7 (32 bit) and after that it won't budge. Any explanation for that?

Anyway, thanks again!

Greetings,
Henri

Hello Henri,
of course the 'bill' was just a joke from me.
Well, not easy to answer without knowing WHAT is not working!?
I guess the CB-Emu GUI itself is still starting and showing the list of the modules, and you only get a problem when starting any device, right?

And what's the problem then? Do you get any (Windows) error message, or just a black screen without showing the selected chess computer?
Or is it any other problem?

Regards,
Franz

Nail on the head! I get a black screen without the computer. But it IS there because when I click on the screen I get beeps! Is that any help for you identifying the problem?

Henri

Well, I could imagine what the problem is - try the following:
1) start CB-Emu
2) right-click on any engine in the list and select 'Properties' in the popup menu
3) now open the tab 'Display': under 'Videomode' on the right side there is 'Auto' predefined, and I guess your Windows doesn't automatically select the correct video mode for your netbook
4) so try all 4 modes in this video submenu, i.e. select a mode, click 'Ok' to exit, and then start this module.

If any of these 4 modes is working for you, then let me know and I'll give you instructions how to change this automatically for ALL modules (else you would have to use the same procedure for each of them).

Franz

Tried out all functions, and OpenGL works perfectly. Thank YOU!!

Cheers,
Henri

Ok, I've attached a ZIP-file where I've changed all INI-files to this OpenGL video mode - just unzip it to your CB-Emu folder and overwrite all files.

Regards,
Franz

Hallo Franz
Und schon hast Du wieder einen sehr zufriedenen Kunden mehr. Deine
grosse Arbeit müsste gesponsert werden OK, würde dann vielleicht
nicht mehr so viel Spass machen wie eine allsamt hoch geschätzte
freiwillige Leistung.
Gruss
Kurt

Aber das war doch eine Kleinigkeit, keine 2 Minuten Arbeit mit 'grepWin' zum Ersetzen dieser Option in allen ini-Dateien -
ihm hier zu beschreiben, wie er das unter CB-Emu machen müßte, hätte wesentlich länger gedauert.

Franz

Awesome! Playing the Conny on my EEEPC now. You are DA man!
