We are working on a new international version (O.8.2) of iFeelPixel software compatible with the new operating system from MicroSoft: Windows Vista. The release date is expecting before 1 January 2008.

Additional new features:

- Settings will be saved in a XML file. This way the software does not need to accesss the windows registry. Benefits: more safe, more secure, more stable for the computer and the user.

- Keyboard Piano: Hear musical sounds from your keystrokes. Transform your keyboard into a virtual Piano.

- Fix For Non English Users issue: International compatibility with international version of MicroSoft Windows

iFeelPixel Software for non-English users

ATTENTION non-English computer users...
If you are using a non-English computer system, iFeelPixel may experience errors due to incompatible localized language settings. This can cause Boolean values to be translated to a language other than English which prevents the application from working properly by creating invalid statements and registry settings.

To correct this problem, you must create one or more zero-length text file with the following file names (depending on the language your computer is using) and place it in the iFeelPixel application directory.

vb6FR.dll (French)
vb6DE.dll (German)
vb6IT.dll (Italy)
vb6JP.dll (Japan)
vb6KO.dll (Korean)
vb6ES.dll (Spain)
vb6CHS.dll (Chinese)
vb6CHT.dll (Chinese - Traditional)

AND, you must also create a zero-length text file with the following name and place it in the iFeelPixel application directory.

ifeelpixel.exe.local

These empty "dummy" files will prevent iFeelPixel from using the localized language settings and keep all activity in English. Note: theses files increase the CPU process of iFeelPixel executable and may slow down the iFeelPixel application. Use them with caution.

It may also be necessary to clean up any registry settings that were stored for iFeelPixel that might have been translated to a language other than English. To check your registry settings for iFeelPixel open the system registry using the Windows regedit.exe application and review the settings under the following key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\iFeelPixel

All entries under this key should be in English. For example, if any are French (Vrai or Faux) then they need to be changed to English (True or False).
