I think this a noble idea! The pcjukebox touch screen is about the best i have used to date. If you are going to do this it would be nice if you did it with out the program windows at all. It would be nice if it was written so you did not need any other program running in the background( Including DOS) because most people can't get video and sound working on that old stuff... Separate controls or options for volume control on screen or a differnet type of controller. And also something appealling to the eye would be a bonus. Thanks for letting me vent.

No Windows or DOS.. That could not be done without coding an operating system that basically booted straight into a jukebox. If anyone did that i would take my hat off to em, personally i think if anyone could do that they wouldn't be wasting time coding a jukebox app. You could probably do something using a very cut down linx boot but even so it's a bit overkill and if you think people are having trouble getting sound and video working in dos then that would be a nightmare. Also the codecs for video and music would have to written like i said you would be basically coding an entire Operating System... :o

Nobody said it would be easy there Barcrest. Don't get so
upset. He asked for IDEAS, not demands. If a person had the knowledge they should apply it. As you can see there are people out there that can right a working program to run a computer.
Gates did it so can other people.

Sorry about that the correct spelling for the word is write.

Running Windows with No Services
A Windows service provides functionality to the operating system and user accounts regardless of whether anyone is logged into a system. Windows XP comes with around four dozen services enabled by default, including ones that many people consider superfluous like Remote Registry, Alerter, and SSDP Discovery (Universal Plug and Play). A question many Windows administrators commonly have is therefore, which services can I safely disable? What if I told you that for at least basic functionality like Web surfing and application execution, Windows doesn
