Oh lawl, a problem with Vista and AvsP

[mirkosp]

Does it really count as a necropost if it was the original poster and s/he hadn't yet seen a useful solution to the original problem?

..I guess it doesn't, and I'm a fool for not noticing that JongWu IS in fact the OP and not just a random necroposter.

Could it possibly be a "this is one of those programs that needs to be installed as admin to work correctly" types of things?

[Zarxrax]

It sounds more like one of those problems that would be fixed with a clean install of windows.

[JongWu]

Ay, well, this is actually a Dell laptop with Vista pre-installed on it and I don't have the necessary software to re-install Vista or anything else, so I guess I'm out of luck.

Try AvsPmod: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=153248
It seems to work for some people where regular AvsP doesnt.

Or just use notepad. Why do people have such an allergy to a text editor and pressing F2 in vdub?

The syntax pop-ups are great for people that aren't familiar with all of the functions that they might use are told to use. That point alone tends to sell it to people in panels i've done.

Most text editors will have syntax popups anyway, I know Kate does, as do every programming related text editor I have ever used on windows.

So you are saying, instead of using a text editor specifically designed for editing avs files, it would be better for people to go and download some random text editor thats NOT designed for avs files, and then jump through extra hoops to do everything?
Awesome plan

[Mister Hatt]

There are no extra hoops. But no, that is not what I am saying. What I AM saying is that if AvsP breaks, instead of spending a week fixing it and then asking on a forum only to be told "delete file x" people should just use something else in the meantime. AvsP not working is no reason to not keep working, avs script files are plaintext and pretty much anything can read them, even MS Word. Not having access to AvsP is hardly a reason to not use avisynth. I have no clue where people got the insanely retarded idea that AvsP is an avisynth GUI and that it is required, but I would assume it has to do with that terrible avtech guide.
