Solved - you can now edit CheckNewPosts.ini:
  .if !Ini$()    ; set defaults if no ini file found
    SetIni$ "upperBgColour", Str$(LiteBlueGreen)
    SetIni$ "lowerBgColour", Str$(LiteGrey)
  .endif
  GuiControl TheDesc, "RichEdit", y=0+26, h=0+230, font -16, bcol <Val(Ini$("upperBgColour"))>, text hover$
  GuiControl TheLinks, "RichEdit", y0+228, h1000-228, font -14, bcol <Val(Ini$("lowerBgColour"))>

Is your msftedjj.dll in the same folder as your CheckNewPosts.exe?

Quoteps. The Shift+Close is weird. Why use shift?

Ok, I changed that. Now Escape minimises the window, while Alt F4 closes the app.

New beta attached, grateful for feedback :thup:

Yes, msftedjj is in the program folder. Seems we went down this road before?
...... is this program using some of the SSE** instructions that my old box just doesn't understand?

I'll look at the newest version after I have dinner...

Quote from: jj2007 on October 12, 2023, 04:28:45 AMSeems a firewall problem
I have the firewall disabled. I never use it, nor any AV. For risky adventures, I simply reinstall the OS, afterwards. Takes only a few minutes.  :cool:
I'll take another look, after I finish walking the dogs.

Firewall is effectively OFF:


But for completeness, and in case it is still somehow active, I added an exception for the program:


Still with the same results:
