Silverlight based Comic Reader
John C:
Quick notes for the general case.
I'm not a fan of Silverlight on principle (the idea of desktop-like web pages sends chills down my spine), but technology-wise, my impression (as a programmer and occasional user of it) is that it's more stable than, say, Flash. And Firefox is pretty good with disabling or dumping plug-ins, so of the things you could install, it's low on the worry list.
For the error boxes, you might have luck with just a CTRL-C to copy the text to the clipboard. It'll also catch what's rolled off the screen, which is nice. Sadly, I only found out about that recently, despite having worked with Windows since the Dark Ages.

yeah, thats a very odd bug. Your dell must not have the opengl capabilities necessary to run it hardware accelerated. I'll see what I can do about fixing it.
And yeah, Silverlight is the only reason the online reader can even exist. Rebuilding one in flash would be a massive effort without a lot of reward, but thanks to silverlight I can make an online reader with very little modifications to my code :)

Hi CRM,
I recently installed nVIDIA ForceWare video drivers 8596 with a hacked INF file.
Dell stopped supporting the built in video card on this back in 2006.
I suppose my using the hack might have something to do with the errors generated.
John, Ctl-C only works if you can highlight the text first. The error list created by the app doesn't allow me to highlight anything. Ctl-C was the first thing I tried to use. Ctl-A highlights 'All' and Ctl-V will paste any copied text as well. Just in case you missed those.

I went ahead and put up a possible fix. Can you redownload it and report back?

Hi CRM,
I went back and tried to download it. The link says it's ver 301 but when i download it it's still the same 300 file.
You can email me if that's any easier for you.
