The file browser opens fine, but once I start browsing content, it will load a couple of images and then lock up. The CD drive keeps spinning and accessing, but nothing more happens even after waiting 10 minutes. I have to force a close in Windows to get out of it. I've tried using the supplied browser, IE, and Firefox, and the results are the same. I seem to be able to manually browse the content through Explorer, but I just tried to search for jpg images on the CD and even Explorer locked up. Sounds like I may have a corrupt disk. Please help!quote> I have a pretty fast machine and it takes about 20 seconds to load 'All Files 1' completely. Maybe a few seconds less but on a slower machine it could take a while. If you were to browse a data CD full of digital pictures it would take a long time for those to load thumbnails too. It could take a loooooong time to load on anything less than 512rAm. But what do I know. My suggestion would be to relax for a while. Hopefully there aren't bad CD's out there. Now to my other thoughts on the CD. 1. Dependencies not on CD. Ugh. And to make the CD easy to use you should just install all the denpendencies so you don't have to go back and forth matching BATs/Lots with their depens. This only makes it more frustrating that the depens. aren't on the CD. 2. Some files are loose and ready for the Plugins and others are in folders. Some are install type files. This means I end up doing as much clicking and saving as I did directly from the STEX. I imagine the files were packaged as they were uploaded on the STEx, so this doesn't seem to have an easy solution. 3. The browser is great. It works great, and it looks great. But it doesn't seem to allow for quick and easy file transfers. A simple drag and drop type transfer would be fastest. Being able to select any number of folders and drag them into the Plugins folder would be even greater. 4. Without the dependencies on the CD I can't get anymore to give them as gifts, or share it with those with awful cleeeeeee-cleedonk-edonk dial-up connections. All that said, thank you for a CD that will be veerry useful when my comp. goes on strike again. *crosses fingers, knocks on wood*

Sorry Jessyka, I don't mean to be rude, but I got my cd today. Yay. The interface looks pretty cool, my laptop is old and works slow, can't wait to get it home on the real puter. Looks cool so far, too bad the dependecies couldn't be included on the CD. Thanks Dirk and the contributors. I will continue to donate to show my thanks.

I recently donated $ to ST, actually more than the CD price. I probably have all but the unreleased material too. Without hesitation though I will donate again, just to recieve this CD. And to, in the only real way I am capable, support a site which I enjoy so much. This is for the contributors This is for Dirk Thank you

I haven't been glued to a thread like this in a long time. BuddyBud you are doing some really awesome work, very inspiring. You make it very easy to follow and attempt what you have done here. I've got the following part down, still working on my own versions tho. Thanks dude
