Hi, is there anyway to remove ae2.3’s splash screen? You see, i’ve installed it on my business laptop, and I really don’t like having splash screens whenever I start up (and admittedly, the billy goat images does not synch well with my corporate PC).
I’ve turned off the startup sound (that is hilarious by the way), but I still can’t find a way to disable the splash screen… can it be done? Thanks.
Old McDonald: At the moment there’s no option to remove or disable the splash screen. The goat image is part of the software’s identity so I guess we’re a little reluctant to remove it. I do understand that it may not look good on certain computer setups but I guess we could shorten the amount of time it is displayed.

Cada vez que inicio windows aparece siempre un mensaje advirtiendo que con “click right call menu”, debería existir una opción para desactivar.
Gracias
Old McDonald: El mensaje se eliminará en la próxima V2.4

On 1 of my PCs (XP Pro) I get an error claiming I don’t have a floppy when I attempt to scan Drive A which is a working floppy and it works perfectly as normal; even if set up sharing with other PCs on my home LAN.
Ideas?
Old McDonald: Does that error show: “Could not scan drive (a:)/(b:). It does not exist, does not contain any media or the media is corrupted, eg. Floppy”?
There’s a possibility that you forgot to insert a floppy before you scanned the drive.

I’m not on that PC at the moment, so can’t give exact error, but it more or less claimed I didn’t have a Drive A (same trying it with Drive B that I don’t have).
I tried it with an floppy in the drive and without a floppy inserted and got same error.
The error it gives on the PC I am using which doesn’t have a floppy Drive A / B is
“Could not scan drive (a:)
It does not exist, does not contain any media or the media is corrupted, eg Floppy.”
That error is very similar or the same to what my other PC says, so it seems it isn’t recognising I actually have a floppy drive, yet the drive does work normally.

Old McDonald: It shows the same error message when there’s no floppy drive, or even where there is but no floppy is inserted. But it’s strange that the same error message should be shown even when a floppy is inserted. If a floppy is inserted but no suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ file is detected, a message should appear(not error message) informing you that no suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ file is detected.
I don’t have a floppy with me now but I’ll try to get hold of one and test it out to see if the same thing happens.
