I downloaded the file you posted, followed instructions, and started the install. Now I'm stuck. Has anyone else had a problem where the installation just hangs on the screen that tells you to return to the error message screen of the UB Funkey installer and click RETRY? The error message doesn't pop up, so I'm stuck on this screen. All I can do is Cancel.
UB Funkeys 4 8 (ZIP) install download pc
I have followed all the instructions but still cannot install ub funkeys in windows vista 64 bits. Can anyone provide an explanation for someone who is not at all computer literate????Please, my daughter is so disappointed!!! :(
I have Windows7 X64 on a 3gb RAM Dell Inspiron and with the aid of Xp virtualization I have also made UB Funkeys work.First I have downloaded VMWARE WORKSTATION as a free 40 day trialIt is quite easy to make an installation of a new virtual machine, I recommend to leave the default settings (512MB RAM + 20 GB disk). After that you should install XP (I used home edition SP2 from an older machine), as in the case of a clean installation the virtual machine would work as a new phtsical one.As soon as you have your Virtual Machine with XP installed you should open it and install UB FUNKEYS.In order to run UBFs in full page you should change your resolution to 800*600 both in host and guest systems (W7 & XP) allowing scaling (you should have this options right-clicking in an unused part of your screen).In order not to have to change resolution manually each time you want to play UBFs you can download Reso.exe, a free programs that lets you associate screen resolution to individual programmes. After your VMWorkstation free trial expires you can however use VMPlayer (free software) to launch XP and Funkeys.In order your kids do not have to work much to play funkeys you could change VMPlayer desktop shortcut icon to UBFs Icon and set VMPlayer to shut XP before shutting the virtual machine and also play automatically in fullscreen mode.As a result your kids may only click an UBFs icon first,launch VM inside the programme from a very intuitive console and click again an UB funkey icon in order to play.My 8 years old daughter thinks it is easy and remember alwaays kids are smarter than we are. 2ff7e9595c
