Hey Im Mr. X im a computer tech.

first of all, was the 'tracker' name stolen, (or borrowed) from BeOS's file manager, called tracker? I use BeOS as my main OS but I sometimes use trackerv3 on win98.

okay it does not start. I am using 98lite IE removed etc. I have version
5.1.3097.0 (xpclient.010817-1148)
GDI extracted to the trackerv3 folder in program files.

tracker version 4.00.0131

the only symptoms I have is the mouse goes to the timer for a second and then nothing happens.

btw I downloaded it from an ftp
http://www.filesearching.com/cgi-bin/s? ... en&x=0&y=0
because microsuck is evil and that stupid authentic thing im not going to waste my timewith


please help!

Mr X

No. TrackerV3, then still "Tracker", started as a file search utility in 1997 and for a year or so lived only on my computer and a Boston friend's one. Aahh, the good old 20th C days...

Well, you won't be surprised when I ask you to try the authentic thing, will ya?...

LOL!

The gdiplus from filesearching is not the problem
(tho that's a known 'hackery' site)

This is:

Some dependencies such as mshtml.dll, urlmon.dll (to name a few..)
are gone and probably others that TV3 needs...

(there is no need to authenticate M$ d/lds in Win98!)

Can maybe try this *unsupported version or stick to the built in winfile

Oh yeah, that must be it. But now Mr. X is gone, too...

no, im not gone. i just forgot about this because it took so dang long for a reply.

It is completely possible to use this without IE. All I did was get the dll file from here:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/pop.php?gdiplus

And then paste it into the trackerv3 executeable directory. It now works!
Hahaha I am so smart
