Sorry, I didn't explain very well. Yes you need VMWare tools installed, which I have, but you have to manually insert the settings for the 'experimental' 3D acceleration. I've had a go with a virtual XP Pro, but no luck so far. I'm going to have to play around with this a bit more. Anyway thanks for...

Youtube, Geocities & many other sites are banned here in Turkey. I know I can use sites like Vtunnel & Stopmenot Proxies to access them but I get fed up having to use them so have got lazy and just avoid the banned sites. Yesterday I was trying to access the shoutcast site for a listing of r...

Thanks for that Aitch, that's for VMWare Fusion for the Mac. But that led me to do a little more investigating and came up with this: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_vidsound_d3d_enabling_vm.html This one says its only for Windows 2000 or XP, which is probably why it didn't work for me in ...

I tried the direct3d support and had no luck. I installed Vista as the guest with XP Pro as the host & the direct3d support, the Vista games wouldn't load the graphics. Conversely I installed Vista as a guest with no direct3d support and the Vista games played, albeit a little slower and a warni...

Good checksum still goes to grub prompt.

try 'wget -c' to download retro?

Where do I type this? In a console? Do I have to type anything else? I've only downloaded using Opera's inbuilt downloader to date (in Muppy or Macpup Dingo)

reborn

Checksum doesn't match - and the files are the same as last download.
No point in me burning. I'm at a loss as to why I'm having this problem. Any suggestions?

reborn

Yes, checked out. I'm downloading again - maybe corrupted burn, if it is it'll be the first. I'll report back later.

Hi, tried the new Retro Pup 1.03 just now. I can only get the memtest to load - so upon investigation I've uncovered the following ( so far) : Chihuahua Retro - the directory called in the menu for kernel/initrd/psubdir is chi302a6r, on the cd it's chi302a6 (missing r) The initrd's on the root of th...

I'll give this and the new retro a try over the next few days, downloading this now - thanks.

If the games start, but you don't get the nvidia-dialog, please click on: /usr/local/install-nvidia-m008/install-nvidia Similar problem here, no nvidia dialog or nvidia splash screen when loading, There is an Nvidia X Server Settings in the System menu - but it doesn't do anything (just a few selec...

Update: On the HP laptop running XP Service Pack 3 I frugally installed Muppy Minisys & Macpup Dingo - with all the files in their respective subdirectories (C:/muppy & C:/macpup) ran fine. Using the Lin'N'Win method. (No vmlinuz, initrd.gz in root) I now have a new desktop system (many prob...

Oooops Double Post - sorry - reborn

Great pup, thankyou very much - this is a keeper for me too - Opera as the default browser is perfect for me. A few idiosyncrasies in the screenlets. Trying to move the panel creates another panel, can't remove 1 panel, all or nothing. Changing the panel theme also creates another panel on top of th...

. This issue is only with Windows XP SP2 (and presumably SP3 now). Hi, just to let you know that I'm running Macpup Dingo & Muppy Mini 008.3 with all the files in their respective directories (C:/macpup & C:/muppy) under XP SP3. The only issue I have is that Macpup expects any extra .sfs fil...

Thanks, I thought that might be the case. I've posted a new topic. Reference the small black box at the top left of the screen mentioned in an earlier post, I believe, from observation, it is connected with Wbar. It's not there now, after the first reboot it seems gone for good (for me anyway). Stil...

Apologies for the heading but I have come across a bug in Pmount. A short while ago I decided to try Vista on my second hard drive, my HP Pavilion Laptop being 'Vista Capable'. Vista installed loaded, logged on, logged off & shutdown with no help from me. So I uninstalled Vista, formatted & ...

Many thanks for Macpup Dingo, the first Linux installed on my computer - successfully using the Lin 'n' Win method. I love the layout and wbar, which I've still got to customise - mainly because I've added Opera 9.51 which works extremely well on this setup. I have come across a bug in Pmount. A sho...

Update: Testdisk for Linuxdidn't achieve the repair that I'd hoped. My second hard drive is still inaccessable from Windows file system - not showing up in FreeCommander. It is showing in the bios (and at bootup), it's even showing in device manager. The drive shows ok in Linux (sdb1 - ext3 & sd...

Thankyou very much for this .pet, I'd been searching everywhere for this utility. The XP version helped me recover my xp mbr/partition table and the partition table of one of my USB hard drives, I will now hopefully recover my second hard drive with Linux Mint on it. Due to fat finger syndrome I sel...
