Do you have gdiplus, or gdi++? If so, that is causing your error, and I'd 
recommend disabling it for ShareXmod, or getting a newer fork of it (e.g. 
MacType). If that's not the case, then it's probable that you have a corrupt 
configuration. While importing them is ideal, you can't expect developers to do 
all the work; try being a bit less lazy. I mean, you already knew it was 
configs; it was in one of the three messages you posted -- which, by the way is 
also a pain. Detail your problem, and add posts to it if you need to. You don't 
need to post three separate issues all for one thing that is the same problem.

To reset your configs, export any FTP account settings, and then delete the 
following directories:

%appdata%\ShareX
%appdata%\ShareXmod
%userprofile%\Documents\ShareX
%userprofile%\Documents\ShareXmod
%programfiles%\ShareX
%programfiles%\ShareXmod

Then, re-install fresh from the newest setup file. You should find everything 
in working order. Good luck, and let us know (in this issue!) if you have any 
further problems, and we'll be happy to try helping you through them.

Psst. Jhollish. "What version of the product are you using? On what operating 
system?" Just saying.

Mcored, you not doing a check for OS? :P

Also, jhollis, are you annotating, or just uploading?

I have Vista,  It should also work in Windows Server 2003 and 2008 shouldn't 
it?

Mopsy, I should be able to prevent Vista causing an error with Taskbar 
integration, however, the GdiPlus issue seems something out of program's scope. 
In Windows 7 it works just fine:

Some cursory google searching indicates that Windows 7 has a newer version of 
gdiplus.dll than does Vista. If this is the case, this wouldn't work in either 
Vista or XP. Why is Greenshot code executing if he's not annotating?

Original comment by mopqu...@gmail.com on 25 Mar 2013 at 3:40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

jshollis seems to creating shadow which uses greenshot code.

Original comment by mcored on 25 Mar 2013 at 5:39

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ah. And greenshot is making a call to gdiplus.dll, and I guess the entry point 
isn't there because it's older?

This issue was closed by revision r272.

• Changed state: Fixed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Fixed? It's not working.. I went back to 7.1.250.  It's more stable and not a 
thing wrong with it. 7.1.272 does not appear to be ready. I still r250 offered 
and not r272 so that's good.

Look, can you stop being so god damned rude? You don't even understand what's 
happening. No one is going to want to help you if you're just acting slighted 
all the time. You're using a free program created by unpaid developers who work 
on it in their free time. This program works just fine for us, but we're 
looking to make it work well for everyone as a courtesy. One thing we will NOT 
do, however, is put up with rude, entitled people, who for some reason think we 
owe it to them to fix their issue. You did not pay us for this software or 
donate to us for our time, you did not help develop or contribute any code of 
your own, you've done nothing but bitch that the program doesn't work on an OS 
that you shouldn't be using. Vista is a direct downgrade from 7, and even XP is 
better, though soon to be officially unsupported by even Microsoft. Yes, a 
mistake way made in the Windows 7 Taskbar integration of 7.1.272, but that 
doesn't entitle you to be an ass about it.

Anyhow, mcored posted that it was fixed by r272, or revision 272. Version 
7.1.1.272, includes changes from r271 and previous, the 272 coming from the 
versioning changes made before compiling it. I don't particularly agree with 
doing things this way, but that is currently how they're done. "Fixed" as a 
status in issue tracking means that the issue has been fixed in the code as of 
the mentioned revision (in this case r272, which, if compiled, would be 
versioned as 7.1.1.273), and that once you compile it, or use a version we 
compile for you, you can verify that it has been fixed, and then we (or 
possibly you, depending on permissions) can change the status to verified, in 
that the question asker (you) has verified that it is indeed fixed.

7.1.250 (or revision 249 in terms of code changes) is still the stable, 
featured download. However, because of a previous bug report you filed that 
should have been fixed, either from changes pushed from ShareX, or mcored's own 
work, a development version was compiled to fix yours (among some other 
people's) problems. You then tell us if it fixed that, and if it causes a new 
issue, you open up a new issue here in the tracker. What you do NOT do is get 
belligerent with us as if we owe you some service, or are incompetent in some 
way because we fixed your problem, and inadvertently caused another one in the 
process -- one that very few users should experience, because no one has any 
good reason to be on Vista. They offer free downgrades to XP, and 7 is really 
cheap nowadays.

That all said, if you'd like to change your attitude, I'd be happy to compile 
the latest changes for you, into a setup that should hopefully solve your issue.

For a new guy you come with quite the arrogance. You've been barking since you 
came in. What a rant. Like I said 250 works and it'll do me fine.  

Original comment by jshol...@gmail.com on 26 Mar 2013 at 12:13

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Actually read what I said. You're the arrogant one here. You don't understand 
how issue-tracking works, and you're acting incredibly entitled. I'm new to 
ShareXmod in terms of coding (though I made the logo, and I've been doing bug 
testing for a while, and was even helping with initial features and whatnot 
before it came out), and I'm new to C#, but I'm proficient in several other 
languages, and certainly not new to coding.

If 250 does fine for you, then close your mouth for once. No one asked for your 
attitude. You're clearly entitled, and you're probably used to getting the last 
word and generally treating people as lesser than you, but it's not going to 
fly with me, and I'm actually demonstrating a great deal of patience with you. 
If you keep up this behavior, I'll just delete everything you post from now on.

Let me reiterate what Mopsy said. What you need to understand is that you are 
using free and open source software. You are complaining and your attitude is 
as if you have paid for the software and you are not getting the assistance as 
you are entitled to. I have to admit that it was a mistake on my part releasing 
r272 without committing the source code changes first. Anyway, the fixed means 
that future releases will have the fix. It is not so intelligent to think that 
after my comment saying it is fixed, the installation you already have gets 
automatically fixed. Emailing me saying "what a jerk" doesn't definitely help 
us developers to VOLUNTARILY provide support for people like you.
