Hi guys, Sorry for leaving FOSW in limbo last week. Urgent Grandpa duty called me away. Would someone volunteer to pick it up again?
btw, the solution to the last one was MULTILINGUAL.
I hope to be back in circulation in a day or two more.
Cheers,
Peter

That's OK. Get the real life stuff sorted, I don't think too many people are that bothered if it isn't posted (unlike the CCC thing)

Just pay a friendly visit, spray him down with gasoline (to kill them 'skeeters') and then go back to your place and wait for some new amusing sounds.

My main laptop is on Win7, but since I have to support some older applications, I run Windows XP Virtual Machine - the one that comes for free with Win 7 Pro. I've been using this VM for at least 6 years. It has always behaved. If I launched the VM, it would come up in full screen mode and login automatically to the desktop. Now however... 
- does not come up full screen;
- always prompts for a user name and password;
- if I take it out of full screen mode - I get the logon window;
- go back to full screen mode- login again;
Anyone out there encountered this? I know I could import it into a VMWare VM, but that's more hassle than I need at the moment.

Did the vm get infected with Malware , or a program update ?

lol, an update is a valid suggestion, just no idea which one.
I found other people griping from years back (posts older than 5+ years), so I don't think I was nailed by an update. Guess I'll live with it for now then when I get some time move it over to VMware.

Finally cyphered this out. Somehow, the normal login "xpmuser" got remembered as "xpm-user". The second one does not exist. The solution was to go the VM settings and clear the remembered credentials and boot it.
At this point, you'll be prompted again for an account - enter the correct one plus password and have the "remember" box checked. Apparently, the XP vm checks credentials all the time, and once they got mismatched, confusion ensued.

The interesting part may to figure out how that got changed.
Like possibly a hidden user was added /deleted.
I've probably spent too much time with reversing, malware I suspect everything anymore.

I agree. I only use this VM behind multiple firewalls and the like, and only for development (never email, web, etc). So, I don't think it is malware. I suspect that what happened is that I made a typo and one thing led to another. It remembered a bad user name, and we went downhill from there.

Your normally scheduled program has been interrupted for this...
Me: Hey, you can build iOS apps in Visual Studio!?! Xamarin? Yippee-ki-yeah!!
Xamarin for Windows allows iOS applications to be written and tested within Visual Studio, with a networked Mac providing the build and deployment service.
Me: Meh. Honestly, if i had a Mac I'd probably just learn Native iOS dev.
We return you to your normally scheduled Lounge... Nothing to see here.

Well.. it's not their fault really, just Apple make it mandatory to build that way...
But it does work.. sharing 1 mac for multiple developers here!! 
However, this is how it feels[^] to build for iOS!

I should've known Apple was to blame. 
Good that multiple devs can share one Mac though.

The advantage on Xamarin is that you can target multiple platform. But there is always some disadvantage...
