Ohhh can you please put some in it? Something interesting, like tweeting random pictures from a user's desktop?

It would make only one person upset and millions happy, what with all the gossip and headlines...

Is this a problem anybody else has had ?


Edit : Norton has quarantined the file....

Norton is garbage and you do get way too many false positives. Also, Norton tries to tell you what to do instead of letting you do what you want. Dump Norton. Life will be easier and your computer faster.

thats sadly true...

on top of that, all the AV companies are in close communications, and have adopted broad consent to flag things as malware or even trojan, cause some member from the software industry called them and told them its a program THEY don't want people to have.

So, often, perfectly clean hacks get flagged. This includes boot managers and many other useful tools.

I'd suggest to kick Symantec off your system and install either Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials. Both are free and both are very good.

There are other good free AV packages, but I suggested these two, cause they don't annoy you with undefeatable splash screens and there's no nagging to get you to move to a paid version either.

Security Essentials did not flag Flightcrew, and I'm using it without ill effects, other than it telling me that all my epub files are a mess

Comodo is pretty good as well and I can tell it something isn't a problem and it will stop bothering me. I used to run AVG Free and I liked it until they came out with (I think) version 8 and it really slowed down.

I want to try flightcrew but I'm not sure which file to download - I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know what computer I have. I know I have an XP but how can I find out which one of the Windows setup files I should download? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

XP
99% it is the 32bit Version(the one with out '64' in the file name )
Right-click on the "My Computer" Icon on the Desktop or IN the 'Start Menu'

Select Properties.

That tells you about your Version, CPU and Memory

Just what I needed to know - perfect! Thanks!

Hi all:

Quick question -- is there a version of FlightCrew that doesn't force me to install the AVG Security bar? I grabbed version 0.7.2, but it won't let me skip installing the bar, which means I can't get the rest of the install to complete.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You should be able to choose Custom Install (instead of Express) for the "recommended" software and just make sure you have all the checkboxes unchecked. That's what I did just now (though it wasn't AVG that I got). Nothing extra was installed.

Hi,
There's only one error in my ebook [promotion deleted - MODERATOR] was launched with Sigil :
The <itemref> element's "idref" attribute is pointing to an <item> with id="coverpage.xhtml" which does not exist in the <manifest>.

Can you tell me what it means knowing that everything looks OK when I read it with Lucidor or Calibre (even the image on the cover - the only one image in the book)?
Thanks

That tells me that the FILE coverpage.xhtml no longer exists, (there may be a cover, but not with that name). This may be a stale entry (happens sometime, even using Sigil to edit. Just happened to me.), delete that line from the OPF

the Manifest section id= should use the same name as idref=
