Change "reset timer" button to a big red "x&q

Since I am using the timer in a country where English is not the primary language, I find that some customers do not understand that they can "finish" their session by clicking the "reset timer" button. I think if it was possible to change this to a red "X" button inste...

Awesome! I've been pulling my hair out while trying to figure out the exact problem. :) I think I finally got it figured out to one specific registry setting... OK, when you have the new version ready, please be sure to post into this thread so I get notified, and I will download and install it to t...

After further testing, I have discovered that this keyboard bug occurs if I select anything except the "use default" radio button when configuring the splash page. So if I select the "Write your own description" option -or- the "Use picture,flash" option.. then the keyb...

Still not working...

OK, I was able to fully remove the software, but the keyboard still does not work after the timer is changed into production mode. Here are the steps I did to recreate the problem. First, I removed the timer software: 1. As "Admin" windows user (with full administrative rights), I went to ...

The software is installed on the "Admin" user, which has full administrator privileges.

I will try to remove the registry settings manually and see if that works.

Thanks.

Thanks. That worked. I reinstalled the software, and then uninstalled it.. and now everything is back to normal.

Very strange. But it's all working now.

Computer will no longer enter standby or hibernate mode.

Ever since I installed the Kiosk Timer software on my computer (to test it), the standby and hibernate mode do not work. I have uninstalled the kiosk software, but this did not fix the problem. And now I can not close the lid on my laptop or it will overhead in the bag since it is still running.... ...

I don't think Windows has the ability to enable/disable power saving options for specific times of the day. What I'm thinking is some kind of system that allows the monitor to "turn off" only from 12:00am to 6:00am... not just after x minutes of inactivity. No worries though.. I think I ca...

Power Save functions...

Hello, I was just trying to set the screen saver and power saving features and I had an idea. How about if you built in some power saving features into the kiosk software? It would only need something very basic like: Turn off monitor between x and y time. Where x is say 10:00pm and y is 6:00am This...

I think you made good point, we will not delete these setting next version.

Thanks
Thanks. It is annoying to be forced to re-setup everything after each upgrade....

(And as you add more features, it will become impractical, too....)

Hello, When I upgraded to the latest version of the Kiosk Timer (to 3.7.1), it removed all my "programs", reset the timer coin information, and reset the splashpage settings all back to default values. Is there a way to upgrade without losing all of my customization settings for the softwa...

OK, thanks. I hope that eventually you will test with a user that has only "Guest" privileges, because this is preferred. The reason is because we also want to allow the kiosk user to run some other applications like Skype, MSN Chat, etc... and allowing Administrator windows user to run is...
