Thanks, at least that says me the trouble of looking. Hopefully someday they'll fix this oversight!

"Send to boxee" bookmarklet

I want a bookmarklet for my web browser so I can send video content to my boxee. For instance, if I'm on a YouTube page in my web browser, I can hit the bookmarklet, and next time I load up boxee, that YouTube video is there in my welcome screen for me to watch.

Slow mode

From Ben V.:

one feature request: slow mode - right now, it changes images (including animation) every 3-4 sec, which with no nav control is a little too fast if you are casually observing and see something you like - by the time you get over to it and get ready to click, it's gone. that may also help with the 2nd monitor display mode - if it moved so fast, it'd be distracting. an alternative for the first issue would be a back button next to the pause button that could move back N in the list - would still keep the UI simple.

Micropatronage Aggregation

As long as you're tracking people's time, you might consider adding micropatronage aggregation as a feature, or even as a new product:

You could be enabling a whole new realm of commerce!

Transferring movies from one queue to another?

I just started a second profile, for my daughter, and now I want to transfer to the 50 or so movies I have in my queue over to hers... is there an easy way to do this?

Good point. I'd like to do it automatically if possible; fewer knobs and dials. Ideally it should work on the tiny screen of a mobile browser or a huge cinema display.

Response from Mike S.:

Maybe there’s something wrong with the ‘Heaven.exe’. All it does is launch one of the other three exes ‘pendulum.exe’, ‘illusion.exe’, or ‘cardgame.exe’; so Greg could try running those directly.

My second best guess is that either something is wrong with audio. Replacing the Game.cfg file with this one _might_ help (back up the original first!).

No sound, games missing

Question from Gregory C.:

I've installed the program from the net since my original 3 1/2 floppies are no longer useable; it will not start on its own when I click on 'shortcut to MS-DOS', although I do get the welcome screen (lighting stike but no thunder clap). When I click on individual game icons (illusion, pendulum, cardgame) the screen goes black, I assume because my machine's searching for the program, but it can never gets any further and the screen remains black.

"doesn't support full screen mode" error message

Question from Adam A.:

Any advice for running Heaven and Earth on Vista, it gives me an error message saying that it doesn't support full screen mode.

Response from Mike S.:

I’ve never heard of this problem, but a few minutes with Google yielded this
http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_017.html
or
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324767
I’d try the first link first - it looks like they have a simple solution that might work.
It also seems like this sort of problem may possibly be caused by a virus, so make sure you do a system scan with an updated virus scanner.

autoexec.nt. the system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows applications

Question from Dominique V.:

When I try to run the heaven.exe file, I get a message that says, "autoexec.nt. the system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows applications."
Do you have suggestions on how I can get around this?
I'm running on Windows XP.
