Further to my last post, showing iLinX in use, I have just found out that the guys over at www.ilinx.info have released “iLinX View”. Here is an explanation of it…
“A number of dealers and end users have asked us for a demo version of iLinX so that they can try it out before shelling out $150. The problem has been that the Apple App Store explicitly bans demo versions of applications, so we've had a three month wrangle figuring out how to work round these restrictions while still publishing something useful. Now, we've finally got there!
So, please welcome iLinX View, a free version of iLinX. In terms of control it only allows you to select sources and change the volume and it also shows "VIEW" faintly over everything to highlight the fact you're using iLinX View and not the real thing. Other than that, it does everything that the real iLinX does, so you can check out all the services, browse the media libraries and generally get a feel for the capabilities of iLinX.
Here is a direct link to the Appstore
The only other thing to note is that the App Store lists the version as 1.1. This is because that was the version of iLinX at the time when we originally submitted iLinX View and there is no way to change the version number during the approval process. iLinX View is in fact version 1.3 and is compatible with iLinX 1.3. As of the next release of the two apps the version numbers should get back in step.”
Well, I just blew a fuse. It seems to me that there is no route back with logmein, and they have no interest in listening to their users. The only answer I can see is to cancel any paid for services with them.
My post may be deleted on their forum, so here is what I wrote:
“I just lost it with my account manager. So much so that I started shouting. Unbelievable.
This company simply does not give a monkey about its clients, and looks to me like they are not going to change a thing.
I have asked for a credit on my LogMeIn ignition for PC and iPhone as it is now usless without the central product, and I am cancelling my logmein rescue accounts.
I am expecting a call back from a "boss" of somekind, but I suspect nothing will change.
A company like logmein are allowed to make mistakes, but what makes a good company is when the realise they have made a mistake and rectify it.
I would have paid 300 or even 500 a year for the old interface, with groups, secondary users. The crap logmein have offloaded here is just absolutely unbelievable.”
For the people that follow me for the Netstreams DigiLinX updates, here is a YouTube video I have “thrown” together of the iLinX Application. It’s seriously impressive! I only touch on the features, there are more in there!
OK, here is one for you…..
If you have recently upgraded to Sage Line 50 Version 2010, and you are getting the two errors:
"The Data Area Passed to a system call is too small" and “Out of Memory”
….when printing invoices or reports to email. The issue, for me anyway, was that the remnants of the older PDF driver from Amyuni that Sage use were left on the system.
To fix, close sage, then go into the C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64 (on Windows 7 x64) and delete the Amyuni driver files for the older 2.5.x version. In my case those files were:
acpdf251.dll
acpdf251.drv
pdfui251.dll
but there may be more! You may also want to delete the newer Version 4 drivers as well, they will reinstall when you print later.
Then reload Sage 50, and all should be good! Fingers crossed!
and I am probably going to be one of them…. they are scamming users, even the ones like me who pay!

Personally, am livid… cheeky bastards.
I am looking at teamviewer right now, whom will now most likely get my companies money!
