Neptune Activity Center Problem

[ovctvct]

It should have a blue look with a teacup on the background.

In case you haven't noticed, the activity centers included with 5111.1 are quite broken.

KenOath fixed it but he said he wouldn't give fixed Activity Centers. And he has left here, nobody knows where's he or his contact information.

I'm quite sure some people are still in contact with him, don't assume no one knows where he is just because you don't.

He left here after he was demoted from staff.

I entered beta world in 2013, so I don't know any info about both of them. Just explored older posts.

He is known as Ken on OSBetaWorld, and still posts there occasionally, such as here: http://osbetaworld.b1.jcink.com/index.p ... ic=269&hl=

It should have a blue look with a teacup on the background.

why would it have a Teacup on the background?

[Lukas Marsik]

Cause that's how it always looks with the default theme. Blue background with a teacup in bottom right.

[Overdoze]

*how it's meant to look, but actually doesn't because it's broken. Though IIRC the background used to display properly back in the day.

[Lukas Marsik]

Huh? Back in the day? It still works fine over here o.0

[Overdoze]

Used to work for me, but when I try it my VM it's the same as OP's, that is, without the background...

[hounsell]

Maybe it's the current BA FTP ISO?

Originally, the ISO BA had wasn't original and had a few (sensible and useful) patches thrown in. The original on there now probably has a few things broken compared to the ISO we were playing around with a few years ago.

[Overdoze]

I was thinking about that, yeah.

[Courage]

My copy of the ISO was uploaded on 2013-07-08, and the activity centers work fine for what they're worth:



I even have the alternate theme enabled!

Yes, I'm using that iso but they still don't work.

[TheWindowsXPGuy]

I had this problem before, if you take the ISO out of the virtual drive the Activity Center messes up like that for some reason.

[Archenemy]

I had this problem before, if you take the ISO out of the virtual drive the Activity Center messes up like that for some reason.

So you have to have the neptune iso every time you go to the activity center?

[Overdoze]

If that's true, then perhaps copying ACCORE.DLL to System32 and REGSVR32 from there might work?

EDIT: This is exactly what happens. If you remove the ISO with ACCORE.DLL on it, it'll break the ACs, if you put the ISO back in, ACs are fixed. The solution to this problem is to copy ACCORE.DLL to System32 (where it's most likely to stay permanently) and register it from there.

[ovctvct]

I got it to work but I can't change the theme or other options EDIT: Works now.

[Courage]

I just saw this topic again and I can confirm that this is exactly what I did to make the AC's working.

To OP: Sorry for posting this late, but I had never noticed this till now.

How do you get to that theme? The only one I have had up so far is the original blue one . . . I installed Neptune on a Dell GX240 this morning and it worked fine until I installed a game then it did nothing but blue screen every time I tried to boot. So I did a quick build of a machine with a PC Chips Socket 462 MB and it ran the game I installed before on it with no hiccups or problems.

It is Windows Neptune, Build 5111 a beta. What do you expect, of course it won't function properly at times that's why it is called a Beta. You might want to submit a bug report through the app in Neptune, haha. Anyways I never really used the Activity Center back then, but I would love to know how you fixed it, if you did at all.
