Flat drive buttons

Post by *tashkerm »

Recently installed (and then uninstalled) some unrelated software and then did a system restore (XP sp2). System restore failed (I never know why that happens). Since then, TC's drive buttons are all flat, regardless of the option setting (or even if I change the wincmd.ini file directly).

Tried uninstalling/reinstalling tc 6.03a; same thing.

Did that ever happen to anyone? Any ideas? Thanks.

If you change the settings with TC Config dialog and it takes no effect you probably have no right to write to the wincmd.ini. So maybe you should change the location to a folder where you are definitely allowed to write. It's easy to do with Inireloc .

If you change the settings in wincmd.ini and it takes no effect you possibly edited the wrong wincmd.ini. 'Help->About Total Commander ' will display the location of the currently used ini files.

Please check both and report if you discovered anything.

I dunno. Damned computers. I tried restoring to another restore point. BillG (for I assume that it's him personally composing these messages) told me that it couldn't restore to that point and that no changes were made to my computer.

TC now has 3d drive buttons, and the config dialog works.

Damned computers. I'm gonna use erunt more, and system restore less. See http://home.t-online.de/home/lars.hederer/erunt/
