Hey man, alright well you know how I said I pretty much can't do anything while it runs.. Well I said that because after I tied it quit on me so I figured that was why well, you explained why and all so anyways I figured hey I got it to work once it'll work again.. Well then ya got off and I went to play it again for them, and now I can't get it to give me the msg it was giving me at the beginning of it.. It would say something about a category and I would say no and it'll just start randomly doing questions and what not.. Now it doesn't give me that category pop up box that I would say no too.. so now when it get to the part where it asks the question it just cuts off??? What can I do to prevent that? Sorry if I'm bugging ya I just wanna get this thing down pat so I know what to do next time it does something like this. Thanks again, Stephen.

step one:

run the program and it will DL scores

step two:

set up timers, options, etc. the way you want it then click

on the open button to get a file browsing selector window where you choose which trivia file you want to use.

Notes:

-If you type something in the filter then only questions that contain the words typed in the filter will be asked, all others skipped

-categories are just predefined filters. they are created by putting in front of a question with a colon. for instance a question about Frank Bryce could be categorize by putting Muggles: in front of the question

step three:

If there were no errors in the trivia file then all questions are loaded and a choice is given to select a specific category of questions to ask or simply ask all of them.

step 4

Let the program run unimpeded. Under no circumstances should you type anything in the AOL chat window while the program is running. If you must type something and send to chat then use the "send chat" button provided by the program after typing what you want in the textbox provided adjacent to it.

Notes:

-if you checkmark the chat bar option then the program will minimize leaving only the chat portion so you can send typed text to the chatroom with minimal obstruction.
