I got the Last one to work once you told me you were looking for the MODS in the directory. But this new Version works both ways. Thanks Ruatha!

And you should thank me, I helped make your program compatible for all.

I do thank you!!

It's really good when people tell me that things go wrong instead of just sitting and thinking bad thoughts

I like bug reports, I can't test every possibility myself

1. Option to hide Recent games and Favorite games dropdown lists from the main page.

Hmm, when I was about to do this I started wondering... why?
Isn't it easier to click on the game in a drop-down box instead of going through the "Choose game" browser?

Next Version will be much smaller, I've discovered the wonderful world of exe compression.
UPX compresses the current companion 1.76 from 2594K down to 853K, it's like magic!!

New suggestions:

-Button to PBW game forum.
-Change Game links in drop-down box to graphic PBW.
-Change PBW options (turn mails, password etc)
-The setup guide page, with option to add/remove start menu and desktop icons, and guide through all settings.
-Make all ALT-keyable

What's been done:
Retrieves deadline from mails, now that PBW is up again I'll start tomorrow to retreive it from the website aswell.
Also included timezone setting and autodetection for timezone and default SMTP server.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the tool to save settings between sessions? I can't even get it to remember my PBW login, which kind of defeats the purpose of the program...

Mine will save my settings just fine, and opens up other files perfectly (I LOVE that!), but when it trys to auto launch SE.exe, I get an access violation in the Companion.exe. It refuses to do anything more and anything I've done that session is lost. Oh, and it doesn't launch SE either...

Hmm, I'd love to know what is happening here..
can you post the manual command line from the favorite settings and any "used mod" from teh favorite settings aswell? (is it v 0.75?)
I'd really like to know as I'd want to make it as crash proof as possible!
