Spacebar "Go" Warning (mod in 10.6.1)

[fincaman]

Hello All,The default "Go" in the latest version of SCS is now "spacebar" and in truth I always used to set it this way in previous versions.I have been doing a show this week which has long periods between cues,during one of these periods I noticed that a windows balloon had come up warning me that a usb decice had malfunctioned,as my mouse was the only usb device connected I moved it and it worked fine so I clicked on the cross in the balloon to get rid of it.Guess what when the next cue came it didn't start.The problem was that if you click on anything Windows i.e. the taskbar it deactivates SCS and you have to re-click anywhere on the body of SCS to reactivate it then spacebar works whereas right click on the mouse (the precious default "Go") reactivates SCS and starts the cue in one go,I think I will revert to this method. Opinions please

Regards

Kevin

To disable balloon tips in the notification area, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
2. Locate the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
3. Right-click the right side pane, create a new DWORD value, and then name it EnableBalloonTips.
4. Double-click EnableBalloonTips, and then give it a value of 0.
5. Close Registry Editor.
6. Log off Windows, and then log back on.

Greetings,
Walter

There is a mod in 10.6.1 that will display a warning on the status line of the main window of SCS if that window loses focus.
