Hello everyone.
My name is ashley cox, i'm a new user on this list. I'm visually impaired (completely blind) and like to experiment with computers.
I've been playing around with react OS in VMware for a while now with the help of my dad. I found that the default soundcard emulated by VMware is a SBPCI128, one of creatives soundblasters. I found a driver for all windows operating systems, and installed it on react OS. It says the installs complete. I restart the computer (although it didn't ask me to) but don't get any sound. When I go into the control panel, there is no sound device. Anyone got any idea how to fix this?
I think react OS is a great idea, just think when it's working we'll not have to go through windows activation again!
Thanks for your help and time.
Ashley
Hi,
I just wanted to let everyone know that Wineconf 2009 is going to be
held in Holland on Nov 6-8th. I am of course planning on attending and
Fireball said that he might as well. If any ReactOS developers are
interested in going and don't have the resources, speak up and perhaps
some of the users and advocates that follow ReactOS development would
be willing to contribute $5 or $10 to the Foundation on your behalf.
Information (what little there is currently) is here:
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2009
The ReactOS foundation Donation page is here
http://www.reactos.org/en/foundation_donate.html
Also while there has been some heated exchanges with Wine and ReactOS
developers in the past, we do get quite a lot in terms of code from
them so if your interested in helping them out, you can donate to the
Wine Development Fund, which will help pay for Wine developers to
attend. The donation link is on the main page of Winehq.org
Thanks

Some of you may have noticed I recently uploaded the charter for the ReactOS
Foundation, the original Russian and an English translation, up to the
site. These are NOT to be translated into any further languages. I'm
fairly certain I've locked the pages correctly, but even if I haven't, don't
translate them. We'll be maintaining a copy of each charter in the original
language as well as one English translation and that is it.

Hello,
I am now trying out ReactOS 0.3.9 in a VirtualBox VM. After installing Firefox
3, I realized that texts are being displayed very incorrectly in the browser
window: The chracters are in inappropriate positions, so that blanks appear
where there should not be a blank, or two characters are drawn one above the
other,...a typical kerning problem.
I tried this out with different websites, but the problems are always the
same.
Any hints?
Regards
Jacek Rużyczka

Greetings,
I heard the unfortunate news about Google's decision regarding your
community's application for Google Summer of Code 2009. ReactOS was
one of the many interesting projects that I hoped to be accepted.
Do any of the people who were planning on being mentors have interest
in mentoring a student with Haiku in a joint project?
One project in mind, is mmu_man's usb webcam drivers. There is
intention for this driver to be developed in such a way that it
encourages developer collaboration between other OS's, such as AROS,
AmigaOS, MorphOS, and of course ReactOS + Haiku.
For multiple reasons, this would be very good for ReactOS, both in the
eyes of Google and in terms of furthering ReactOS's codebase. First
and foremost, your codebase would be receiving additional drivers,
which in my experience is always a good thing(tm). Your community
would receive additional positive exposure. Regarding Google, this
participation would display to them ReactOS's dedication to
participating in GSoC, through any available avenue. On top of that,
the notion of not merely porting a pre-existing driver, but actually
having developers from different OS's working with each other at the
same time to produce and enhance the driver is a wonderful achievement
that should be encouraged.
So, I encourage anyone who interested to reply by any means :)
I'm usually available online as mmadia on irc.freenode.net
Thank you.

VBox guest additions do have issue with its graphic driver. It has been
reported. You should enable debug via virtual COM1, piped to your host
system. Without debug output, there is no real point in any more specific
ROS testing. Should you have any questions, please visit us on irc channel
