Steps to reproduce: Everytime i've try to shut avedesk it wouldn't. It kept running and making cpu slower, so the only way was to end the process and lose the configs.(as i never been able to close it sucessfully)

Special notes: The taskbar icon kept pulsing indicating that it was "busy" but i left it alone for more then 20 minutes and nothing happened

lestatpl - did you try manually saving your config before you closed Avedesk? That way at least if you kill the process you can just reload your config next time instead of having to recreate it.

Bug description: Just right now, Avedesk has started crashing for no apparent reason. I get a typical windows error msg saying the application caused an illegal action and stuff

Items involved: Avedesk

DirectX version: 9.0c

System specs: AMD AthlonXP @ 1.8ghz, 1GB ram

Graphics card & drivers version: GeForce 6200 A-LE 256mb, driver 91.47

Desklets running: 8 pidl shortcuts (including trash and my computer) with the pidlfix effect, avetunes 5

Steps to reproduce: Like I said, this has started happening just now (as in when I turned on the computer, about 1 hour and a half ago) . All my shortcuts were missing their icons, and when I tried to restore them, Avedesk crashed.

Special notes: I recently installed Command & Conquer Red Alert (with the expansions) out of the The First Decade disc and everything worked fine. But now the "more information" part of the error msg points me to a text file listing a whole bunch of EXEs that are found in the folder where the game is installed . Any ideas?

What the hell is this shit?

No need to be rude.

The webpage was a mistake. The file was updated when the vista patch was released but the link was forgotten. That was my mistake for not updating the site. Never noticed and no one told me about it either.
