Vista - Shortcut Arrow

Well the second option worked for me thank you. I d/l .net 1.1 and the SP1 and hotfix, and Vista Overlay Remover 2.0 (FXVisor) still gave me an error of "Unhandled Exception". Oh, well I guess it's my welcome to the 64bit world.
Thanks,
Beebe

Thank you for posting back your results Beebe. My guess is that some update in Vista may have caused the Frameworx program to no longer function properly in certain circumstances, and Frameworx just has not updated the program since then.

I was thinking about removing this program as on option in the tutorial, but it still works fine for many though.

I wouldn't remove it. Eventough, it looks like Frameworkx has gone AWOL. Just warn that with some systems you may get an error, and it just may not work. (Which BTW really burns me up LOL because usually the solution is very simple) When I ran 32bit Vista FXVisor worked just fine.
Again, thanks for the help. Maybe between games I will look at it closer. I just built this rig, and kind of wanna see what it can do right now. I diffently will be looking at these forums in the future, to get help, or help if I can.
Take care Shawn.

OK. Take care Beebe.

all of u who got errors, just log off windows and log back in.
it works fine to me, try it

I downloaded version 2 of Vista Shortcut Overlay Manager. When I choose the "no arrow" option and click apply I get the following messages..." Your settings have been saved.......please log off....would you like to log off now." I click yes and the following error message from Vista Shortcut Overlay Manager.."

Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.

The system cannot find the specified file.

If I click quit, the program closes. If the click continue, I'm back at the log off part of the process.

Hello Expressoguy, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You can also use METHOD ONE to remove the shortcut arrows if you like.


Are you running a English version of Vista? If you are, then did you right click on the program's shortcut and click on "Run as administrator". If you did, then as a test see if downloading and installing .Net Framework may allow the program to run properly afterwards.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi. My first time here. I removed the arrows a while back. Unfortunately I don't recall how I did it. Anyway, my machine froze and I had to power down. When it restarted, the area where the arrows used to be now had a blue square with two white chevrons

I tried to include a .jpg file of the chevrons here but it wouldn't take. The blue box is about the size of the small arrow area with a narrow black border. The 2 white chevrons take up most of the height and width and look like the greater than sign to the left of the question mark on the keyboard.

I used method 1 to try to change them all back to no arrows but that didn't work. I then tried method 2 and besides getting an error at the end, it wouldn't remove or set the arrows. I went back to method 1 and tried to get all the icons showing arrows. The result was about half the icons have arrows and half have the chevrons.

What do we do when Frameworkx will no longer connect and all I am able to download is fxvisor32 which is for 32bit

Hello Carnage,

The Frameworkx downloads available here are for both the 32-bit and 64-bit Vista despite it's name. If the program will not work for you, then you can also use METHOD ONE to add or remove the shortcut arrow.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
