MCP Alpha?
Friday, March 7, 2003 by Nite77 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Em.. is this supposed to, like, *do* something? Only thing I can get it to do, is when I click the "Run..." button on SDCentral when MCP is selected, it says: "Computer must be rebooted" (not those words, but the meaning). I've rebooted and shutdowned for many times already, but it just keeps saying the same) And should it install any icons anywhere? or what's the deal with it?
I know it's an Alpha, but I think it should at least do *something* to be called an Alpha?

Aaaa. I see. Thanks for the explanation. And it really does that (I hadn't set ObjectBar to autoload...)
Hopefully next version of WB supports MCP, it always kinda p*sses me off to see the flickering of XP-style/classic/WB when starting up.

Actually it has worked very well for me so far, except when installed on my laptop.
This could very well be an issue with one of the IBM preloaded services for tech
support, IBM Active Support, or the system debug function that IBM also installs
with the OEM version of Windows XP.
Anyways, after removing the SDMCP by hand,everything worked fine. The only really
annoying thing was the fact that I could not for the life of me, get SDMCP from auto
loading OBar... no matter what I attempted, it did not stick and always loaded at
boot up and applied as it liked...
It does look to be interesting for sure, and also I think it will help in other areas
which need addressing, from the SD perspective as well as customers.
Keep on keeping on SD !!

Having said this it is very early days yet and bugs are still running around being squashed/ waiting to be squashed so it may not behave as described as yet.
The MCP will in time do a lot more which has not ben fully revealed (one thing that has is taking over trayservers job and ensuring all icons appear in the systray and that the language bar, window media player taskbar button thing is/are happy).
