As part of my effort to get back to where I was with ebid just over a year ago, I made a quick list of 20 or so items using notepad.
I already had Ninja Lister installed on a laptop with Windows 7 64 bit, so started it up in order to examine it and see its potential. Well, at least I tried to start it!
Up leapt a notice informing me I needed the new version, 1.13 I think. I downloaded this only to discover I needed a new version of Adobe Air. Fair enough, only to be expected I suppose. I removed the old version of Air, cleared the cache and installed the new version. Ninja Lister would not install. B y now the air was blue (not the Air!) I removed both installers, cleared cache and did a quick edit of the registry. Then I tried again. Nothing!! By now it was about 1 am so I decided to go to bed.
The following morning, I tried again using what tricks I know - and managed to crash Windows. "Oh deary me!" I said. The problem was not the MBR so I checked the earliest date on my windows files (using Debian Linux on a flash drive) and decided to do a complete reinstall. I backed up the laptop drive to another, wiped the internal drive and did a complete reinstall of Windows, adding a few essentials; this hqs, of course, taken a few days. Adobe Air and Ninja Lister
have been installed and...yes...it works!!!
What does this mean? Well it means simply that I was late doing a complete spring clean of the system and brought on this spectacular event all by myself.
I know full well that as I reinstall software as it is needed, I'll find in about 6 months' time that I have not reinstalled half the software I'd thought might be useful someday, and that clutter was the real problem, not Ninja Lister nor Adobe Air! I often warn others about this..."cobbler's children"?
