Impulsively Tired

all I was was to be animated

from WinCustomize Forums

So....

I made (or.. apparently tried to make) a post last night on the Impulse Forums.... can't find it anywhere.

I don't know if it's because:

 

1) the forums have been going 'BOOM' quite a bit this weekend (at least for me).

or

2) TrendMicro doesn't like IMPULSEivness:

 

 

Going to the Impulse forums using Impulse or any browser... I'm bombarded with warnings...

 

I had read for the animations on the Halloween skin I needed 6.30.100

SDC shows I have 6.30.099 with no update available

Impulse shows I have 6.30.099 with no update available

Impulse's Dock says there's an update - which is not available using the dock apparently

 

The question(s) I had posted included:

 

1) what version of netframework is needed for Impulse? Currently I have NFW 1.1 & 2.0... but I don't know if I need 3.0 or 3.5 & whether it can be installed alongside the other 2 or does one, the other or both need to be removed.

2) how can you tell if Impulse is updating itself with no status bar?

3) why does Impulse keep popping out a message telling me it's decided to work offline since it can't connect to the servers, yet I can use Impulse to go to the forums, chat, etc (at least chat doesn't give me warnings)

4) why does Impulse always say I'm not logged in?

5) how can I get it to log in?  I tried to manually log in using the change my log in procedures but it can't connect to the servers

6) I have earthlink dialup w/accelerator - TrendMicro 2007 w/firewall - proxy is set to localhost 8080 which seems to work on everything else (SDC included)

7) will WB6.30.100 ever be available on SDC?  I have no probs with SDC - it opens and IDs updates within a minute

 

 

I'm willing to work with Impulse, but dammit Capn uh dunna think uh ken hold er

I think he survived it

and if it's not intel?

That would be an Intel.... when the post comes up on the boot, hit F5 (that's the usual HP key). Being that it's HP, I doubt it's in there....skip that one and try the DEP exclusion.
