I was unable to find anyplace where it said it was VGA compatible.

The previous version of Skyfire would not even install on Diamonds, it said "This version of Skyfire is not compatible with this device", however this version allowed the install, and after about an hour of surfing I had no problems. I also warned readers and retracted that statement in POST#18 but I guess you did'nt read it.

Hour of surfing on half a screen?

If you got the entire screen running and able to type in address and press the arrow with no issues....Please enlighten us on directions, because the directions that where posted earlier in this forum didn't work for most users.

I did read post #18. Went back and reread it. Still don't see where you say that the new Skyfire is not in fact VGA compatible.

It's not a big deal. I was not trying to challenge you. More wondered if I was missing something on the Skyfire page.

While it is great that this version is quasi working on the Diamond, it would be better if we knew for sure they were actively working on VGA support. I have seen posts that claim it will be out any day now, and others that say that they are focusing on iPhone and Java support and will not fix VGA in the near future.

I haven't run into the half screen issue yet with this new version. I used the previous version on the diamond and ran into the half screen once in a while. I downloaded both of these with IE, not Opera.

Funny... I had the half screen from the getgo.

I downloaded it on Opera. And then completely removed it and redownloaded it to my PC and then transfered the cab.

I even tried the idea on Post 20. and the EXE movement from skyfire to the program files.

Did you install into the actual system memory, or the internal storage?

why would downloading skyfire with PIE versus Opera versus PC make a difference? aren't they all the same CAB file?

I just followed the link from the text and downloaded it using PIE and it did the same thing.

I tried to install this on my 800W and I get an issue where it gets stuck on the installation screen for a long time with that lil circle with four colors spinning forever... left it sitting in the installation screen for over 10 minutes.... my older version of skyfire installed good but this one wont for some reason. Any ideas as to why?
