Look here guinea pigs! I got beta food for you!
Saturday, February 18, 2006 by Thomas Thomassen | Discussion: New Releases
Thank you very much people. I have taken the beta down from my site. I'll release the final version later this week as soon as I get time to do final tweaks. Keep posting suggestions until then if you got any.
If anyone with Windows 2000, ME or 98 want to test it let me know and I'll send it to you as I have not got any chance to try it on those systems.
Well, it's more of a release candidate really. Just want to see how it runs on other systems.
I've made an update to my Running Matrix screensaver and I'd like to see how well it works on other systems other than mine.
If you could spare a couple of minutes and give it a try. Mess about with the settings and stuff.
Then post back here with your report of any bugs and general performance.
Please include:
# Windows Version + Service Pack
# CPU (Type and speed. It'd be useful to know if you have multicore or Hyperthreaded CPU)
# Memory
# Monitor(s) Resolution
# Graphicscard (not sure if I really need to know this, but...)
What I am particularly interested in is anyone with multiple monitor setup. I have added code to handle this, but I have not been able to test it. So I am very interested in this.
Also, I have not tested it in Windows 2000, Windows ME or Windows 98. I have not added any code to handle passwords in Windows 98. In Windows XP password is handled by the system. So should Windows 2000. Not sure about Windows ME.
Requires .NET Framework 2

Yep, when I said that it "shuddered" under WinME it does look like its struggling to re-draw every few seconds. That could be because of another process stealing rescourses and I'm not savvy enough to hunt it down.
Lookin forward to the 1.2 release.

Errh. I meant to say 1.1. there is no 1.2. ooops! 
Anyways, it's up now. However. I checked the zip file and for some reason the readme file and font file I included was gone. Not sure what happend there.
Thank you very much to all of you that helped and provided feedback.

There is something odd going on. The download only gave the old version. I reuploaded it. So there's a little more wait.

Does the speed setting make much difference? That one was a bit akward to implement.

Speed setting works well on my main x2 4400 rig, I'm impressed!
Still runs really well on Win2000, and I figured out that I have a problem with my .NET framework install on WinME which might explain why it 'stuttered'.
