| Posted: | | | | How do I do that? Because when I click on contribute the option "include cover" is grey. I can't click on it, if you know what I mean.
Any help?
Thanks | | | Mission: DVD Wall |

| Posted: | | | | Does the profile you're trying to upload already have the cover scan? If not the option will be greyed out until you've scanned it in. Go in to edit the profile & then click on Cover Scans. |

| Posted: | | | | oh, okay, thanks anyway..
I had that option once but then I unchecked it, because it was not important. Maybe it is permanent? :S | | | Mission: DVD Wall |

| Posted: | | | | Sorry, guys! I think I figured out the problem! I need both the front and the back cover to make a contribution! Too bad my scanner does not work with Linux or Vista! I really want to make those contributions, but I only have the front images.. | | | Mission: DVD Wall |

| Posted: | | | | If it's a new entry and you can't scan the covers you are allowed to put the image you do have in the front and back cover sections for submission purposes. | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

I really want to make those contributions, but I only have the front images.. why not use the front image for both the front and back. This will do until someone else scans the back. - remember to read the rules re the cover scan - no watermarks etc | | | Paul |

If you have the time and place on your harddisc , access to your old XP installation (CD/DVD) this might be a solution for you and others. Install XP as a virtual system on your Vista or Linux using VMware: VMware Server is a free packet, use the beta 2.0 as the final version is not there yet, it should be stable. At the VMware website you have to answer some questions for the free serial numbers. Windows Version (RPM), Linux (Tar) approx 0.5 GB download. The install is done by wizard, for security don"t use standard ports (80 & 433) use (8222 & 8333) after installation: with the browser Http://localhost:82222. Enter administrator as username and password. First you have to set the password for administrator. For Vista Users: enter from the command prompt c:\: net user administrator /activeWith this you can control the Administrator account over the configuration screen / useraccounts, after this you can login on the VMware Infrastructure Web Access-pages. Also go to the Firewall, and allow following programs in exeptions from the program folder VM Ware Server: vmware-authd and open it vmware-hostd and open it all settings are done in the webinterface choose your windows, asign the memory 256 MB is the minimum, if you have more available 512 or 1024. next step virtual harddisc: 8GB should be addequate. don"t mark Allocate all disk space nowif you want internet access: virtual network card standard: bridged (virtual guest system gets ip-address from dhcp-server{your router}) next step install fysical cd-rom drive from the hostsystem and configure for use by guestsystem next step don"t add floppy discnext add USB controller | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| Posted: | | | | Installing XP: Select the virtual Machine Put XP installation in CD-rom press play (If you are ussing IE explorer under Vista ad these to your trusted pages: http://127.0.0.1 and https://127.0.0.1) clikc Open the console in a new window so you get the screen of the virtual machine just install Windows as you normaly do VMware Server recognises the virtual drive as non partioned, that you can partion without risc for the hostsystem. The installation continues as a normal installation After the complete windows installation you have to install VMWare Tools (drivers and so on) be shure you are logged in the Windows-guest systemUnder status click Install VMware Tools Click continue to have all drivers installed correctly After the restart of the virtual PC, the advise is to change the resolution immediatly when you ask the properties of the virtual PC system you can see that windows does not know it is on a virtual PC. more info: VMware | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.
