All the bugs I encountered were no so figure it's to blame on VLC - which was buggy on previous version IIRC. The music plays a second then skips a second then plays a second - like it's stuttering, the way CDs would skip but repeatedly. I didn't disable sound effects so not sure, just new the sound effects were working fine and continued to after I disabled the music.
The FE was crashing when it loads the emulator before I could play. Press the button, image zooms back, loading screen comes up, freeze. Again, issues similar to what happened on the older versions and I think I'll just move away from the QT since it's not behaving as smoothly as the 3.0
I'll do an install and report back but I think the only real fix I'll need will be disabling ALT+F4. :cheers:

OK, If installing W7 is not a big deal then go for it.
However, I'll check the code for the QT version if some improvements can be made. The problem with the background music you reporting is weird because I don't have that issue in my XP machine. Do you have the new version of VLC installed?
This will take a while until I fix it!!!
Disabling ALT+F4 is easy (one line of code :) ) and I will upload the new IE version soon
Le Chuck:
Installed W7 last night will let you know if there is improvement. There should be, just ran out of time to test it out because I had to be at work early this morning.
Le Chuck:
What are the requirements for v3.0?
My machine is W7-32 running IE9 - machine does not have the full SP1, just enough of the upgrade to get IE9 on it. Also has DX10 installed and full VLC.
Zoom animation doesnt work for the snapshot, music won't play, games will not launch, FE goes to star zoom animation and freezes.
Same build on my other computer - W7-64 running IE11 with all available updates runs flawlessly. I have identical file structure and the QT build transfer between the two without issue. In fact the QT build ran a lot better on XP64 than it is on W7.
If I have to upgrade the dedicated non networked computer in the build to the latest and greatest windows to run the FE I'll just go back to XP and run the QT since there are only small issues that I can work around; however, if there is something simple I'm missing, some dependency, that I can update or upload that would be great. Thanks!

Hello Le chuck
The only requirement for the IE version of the FE, is IE9+ (and with that I mean internet explorer version higher from 9. Version 10 or higher will do). Download from microsoft a higher version of internet explorer from your networked computer and install it to the non networked PC.
You don't need to install VLC for the IE version.
The problem is that IE9 is not supporting the css animations... (but if you play around with the code it is possible to make it work. It's not an easy task and that is why I don't include support for IE9 yet)
Le Chuck:
That would explain it, I was trying to make it work with some that wouldn't. I'll see if I can get IE10 on there without too much pain - Service Packs etc. Thanks.
