Known bugs:

1) WinXP - New fix (04.20.06) from Michael G.:
-Go to the shortcut properties
-Delete the incorrect directory path text string in "Start in:"
Tried it on 2 XP machines and it fixes the bug

2) Errors on launch from Start menu - It seems as though the InstallShield application I'm using to compile the application is mishandling the setup of the Program Folders and the Start Menu items. For some reason the app won't launch when using the shortcuts provided. Our friends at www.radio521.com discovered that creating your own shortcut from the actual .exe file works fine.

Go to your Start Menu ---->Settings --->Taskbar & Start Menu and Click on the Advanced tab. Locate the AmazingClockWheel shortcut on the Start Menu and delete it. Then use your Windows Explorer to find the original Amazing Clock Wheel.exe file and right click on it. Select "Create Shortcut." Drag the shortcut to your Start Menu and close the Taskbar & Start Menu window. Now the new shortcut should work.

Other Hacks:

1) Removing the Startup Sound
This one comes from Geoff Barkman of New Zealand:
"I searched Google for a program called "Windows Resource Hacker". The resource hacker is a program for pulling apart windows
32 bit code... I used it to modify winamp and any other program that runs on windows. I pulled apart the file "AmazingClockwheel.exe" right near the top of the file list was a 500k wave file sound... I just removed that file and resaved the EXE file as "AmazingClockwheel2.exe"... double clicked on it and no sounds on start up. The exe file is now close to 1 meg as opposed to the 1.5 meg it was... It seems to function equally as well as the original file."

I am not a programmer nor do I play one on TV. I started teaching myself how to program so I could write some applications that were useful to ME. This program already does what I need and more. I will continue to build upon it out of sheer curiosity. The code is probably very messy but I'll be tweaking it over time. There has been a great interest in the netcasting community about the potential of this program so I am anxious to see what I can do to make it better. Your comments, both good and bad, are welcome and will only serve to improve the functionality of this program.
