AskWoody LoungerYou may think that the same “update” appears over and over again, but it’s not.
I just installed a new system. As I don’t need Silverlight (or more precisely the Silverlight plugin for my webbrowsers) I chose to hide the “update” (which is actually not an update as Silverlight is not installed). When I click “Check for updates” again, the same Silverlight “update” seems to appear again, except it’s not the same: it has a different ID. After hiding and checking for new updates several times, Silverlight doesn’t appear anymore. The next time a new version will be out, it will reappear though. But as Microsoft is not working on Silverlight anymore, there may not be that many new updates. -

AskWoody LoungerThere’s also SharedView, by Microsoft, which is free. http://connect.microsoft.com/site94
Here’s how they describe it “Microsoft SharedView is a fast, easy way to share documents and screen views with small groups of friends or coworkers; anytime, anywhere. Use SharedView to put your heads together and collaborate – create, convey, and communicate…across physical boundaries, through firewalls, and down to the smallest details.”
It works pretty well, it’s easy to install and use (never had to change anything in my firewalls). You can share your session with up to 15 people (I never tried with more than 1), and you can chose what you want to share: just one application (eg a presentation) or the whole desktop. People wanting to take control of the mouse may have to require it first.
The only thing is that I wonder whether it’s still being developed, or if Microsoft will just let it die…

AskWoody LoungerFound a 3rd panel but can’t open it…
I have a paper with b2 d3 b3 b4, the other 4 are not readable.
I found LU=d2, OD=c4, CK=d2 and go=a4 (yes I did use the UV on each and every part of the room and item from my inventory).
UV on my GOOD LUCK note I see I should mix things up, but then I end up with a2, c2, and twice d4…

AskWoody LoungerStuck with the right panel…
I see the 6 lights at the top with different colors, I can correlate each color with a number from 1 to 6 thanks to 2 items I have. Then I press a key and then the big key under, then same with the 5 others but nothing happens…I guess I’m missing something…? -

AskWoody LoungerHum, I was having a real hard time to get anywhere…I found lost of stuff here and there, but didn’t know what to do. I read the messages here trying not to read to many clues…I read “inventory” several times…but where is my inventory???
Well, today I tried again…at first I had no inventory. I tried pressing lots of keys, just in case, but it seemed quite weird. So I just closed and reopened the page, and MAGIC, now I do have an inventory!
Grrr, schupid buggy program ^^
