Post by Alex TaylorTo a human, the only visible change is "top" instead of "bottom".
No other settings are changed permanently, AFAICT.
I didn't suggest you HAD changed the setting I mentioned.
I was just trying to say that there's an easier solution. AFAICR it
was right from the beginning, or I fixed it somehow. I forgot what
"somehow" was, but I do remember it wasn't anything fancy (like
changing unrelated settings, renaming DLLs, unregistering of classes,
et cetera). "Your mother" can do it. There's also no meaningfull
difference between installs, all systems may be considered to be setup
identically (to a human). So "the wife" didn't change anything on a
single system. The working and "broken" system both have a SCENTER
registered.
Post by Alex TaylorThere's no one cause of this issue, and thus no one sure-fire fix.
The one I mentioned is one such approach.
Is the one you mentioned the "WPLaunchPad" (if so, "on top" is and was
off, being its default setting)? DIR C:\*ECOMC* /S returns no matching
object names with the Dutch language version of eCS 1.2. And the
SmartSuite is installed, but I cannot recall that was related to a
"SmartCenter".
Post by Alex TaylorI don't know the details of the latter two.
If somebody can tell me how to use a memory stick with an IBM ThinkPad
T23 and eCS 1.2 (USB mouse works, adding /REMOVABLES:1 to the
CONFIG.SYS USBMSD-line doesn't, the HPFS-formatted device works with
some other machines), I'm willing to try the one to get it right from
the beginning.
Just guessing: if I change eCenter's setting ASAP during the install,
could it be that that avoids some class registering race condition
with E:\ECS\BIN\ECOMCENT.CMD? Or vice versa, change eCenter's setting
after the first real reboot (i.e. a reboot not related to installing
eCS). BTW, I need the USB-device to save many hours restoring data and
apps.
Why? Well, for one because it then is possible to get it right from
the beginning in an installation procedure (albeit I'm not using a
documented procedure as such).
Again, I'm quite sure I didn't change the setting ASAP this time. So
that's a possible difference, related to installing eCS.
Post by Alex TaylorCan the setting you mean be found in a OS *.INI file?
I don't know where it's stored.
Same here. Never mind, I'll have to tell myself there used to be an
easier way than changing an obscure bit in some *.INI file.
