HELP! GUI dowesn't respond!
Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2005 12:03 pm
0.2.5 ISO burnt, installed on a fresh FAT32-formatted primary partition (27GB) + formatted by the native ReactOS tool during 'BLUE' setup, HDD made alone in system. Installation was successful.
Rebooted twice, GIU launched.
I am SURPRISED. 50% of menu shortcuts lead to the "PATH NOT FOUND etc" error message window (more - after clicking the ONLY 'OK' button it appears again, so that 1 error is identified twice). other 50% was clicked by me with NO RESULT, i.e. click - and nothing happens!
so, I typed, driven by intuition, the word 'control' in 'RUN' and got CONTROL PANEL. OK, at least... but again, several applets aren't shown up upon click! those that are... doesn't contain anything, e.g. MOUSE applet contain 3 (!) absolutely blank pages ('bookmarks') with the words such as 'PREFERENCES 1' , 'PREFERENCES 2' , 'PREFERENCES 3' in center of pages!!!
'DISPLAY' applet contain few pages with needed interface, ie resolution, color depth etc, several named combo-boxes that are... completely EMPTY !
It will be redundant to say that I couldn't launch interface to set the system time and many more.
File manager is also worked only to display disk content, nothing more, I couldn't make any file operation there.
I understand that it is a pre-release but I am also surprised that I couldn't even make anything described on this website while in ReactOS.
Please advise me what a problem may be!!!

I kindly ask you to forward advises to hyperwind@mail.ru if occasion arises.
