As the screenshot above shows, miniMIZE is capable of running on Windows Vista. All you need to do is turn on "Windows XP Service Pack 2" compatability for miniMIZE. I don't have Vista, but I assume it is the same as setting the compatibility mode for an application on Windows XP. Right-click the application exe (miniMIZE.exe in this case) and choose properties, then select the Compatability tab.

Many thanks to Lex for not only finding and testing this, but also for posting on the forum about it and including a screenshot. I really appreciate it.

The miniMIZE project has just had it's first donation!

I would like to take this time to personally thank Christian Eibler for donating money to the miniMIZE project. The money will be stored in paypal until such time as I can put it towards anything that I require to aid me in my development of miniMIZE and other free applications.

I noticed today that searching for 'minimize' on Google brings up the miniMIZE project page as the first search result. I don't know about anyone else, but I think that's pretty cool!

Not sure how long it will last, but it's nice for now.

I spent some time getting my source control up and running last night and without much trouble managed to get the latest version of the miniMIZE codebase. I then did a base build of the source and have a working debug version. Things are looking good.

Having had a long break from miniMIZE coding, I need to spend a little time going through the code again to familiarise myself with it, but I should be able to start coding soon. I want to sit down and plan a roadmap for the development because I feel that things got a little ahead of me before. I will post the roadmap once I get things sorted out.

It has been a while since I have done any personal development or made any posts regarding miniMIZE and other projects that I have at one time or another been working on.

As of this morning, I have installed Visual Studio on my machine and I am now in a position to start re looking at code and thinking about where things will be going from here. To me the number one priority is miniMIZE and from there other projects that I have started or would like to start. I am hoping to be able to come up with a timeline to the next miniMIZE beta and perhaps look at ways to change the current beta program, but we will see when I get there. I will be posting more from now on.

Promise! :)
