The new version 1.5.0.205 is ready and fixes a bug in the web browser on Vista in 1.5.0.1
It has been reported to hang or Kidrocket simply shutting down without any notice.
This is also a huge update from 1.5.0.1 containing numerous new features and enhancements. -

This new v1.5.0.205 has tested 100% in our testing on Vista, Vista SP1, XP SP2 and XP SP3RC2 << a little future proofing.
v1.5.0.205 contains:
1. New popup blocker:
Popup blocker on = "Blocked Popup" warning and button flash, popup is blocked.
Popup blocker off = "Loading Popup" warning flash, popup content is loaded into main browser window.
2.New "Lite Lockdown" on Vista:
a. Now when simply launching Kidrocket on Vista, lockdown mode locks Kidrocket, but DOES NOT disable escape keys.
b. Right clicking the icon and choosing "Run as Administrator" will enable escape key disabling ONE TIME or until Kidrocket is closed.
c. Right clicking the icon and choosing Options > Compatibility Tab > Then checking "Run as Administrator", will enable escape key disabling for ALL subsequent launches.
*NOTE: Lockdown mode on all versions of XP remains the same.
3. Admin > Update
Simply click Update and Kidrocket will check for update and notify you if one is available or not.
4. Blocked URL notification in browser.
If a link to a blocked URL is clicked, a red flashing notification will appear in the site name window. No more silent blocks that leave you wondering.
5. Download Blocked notification in browser. (Same notification as above.)
6. New grafx and digital interfaces.
7. All kinds of backend code changes and pretty much eliminated any/all legacy code from past versions.
Specific to this version:
Rollover button sounds are disabled.
Read section is coming soon.
I'll update download links below... -

This version was 100% solid in all of my testing.
I overhauled all the grafx and turned up the image quality too.
Grafx are a lot crisper now. ;)
All comments and suggestions are welcome!

Hey toni lynn, how time flies :)
I think I released the first one on Halloween '03?
Considering how long it been around, this last one is getting closer to where it should be by now.
Working on it pretty much fulltime lately too, trying to make up some lost time from last years holdups.
Great to hear from a long time user :)
stay tuned... -
