<br />
I just realized that the link to Minimalist on the software downloads page was linking to an old, buggy version. I'm so sorry! I have corrected the link and hopefully this will allow for proper testing.<br />

<br />
Apologies for the horrendous memory handling code causing the program to crash on certain platforms. I probably should have tested it on my XP netbook first.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4lKIpcu7gqE/TGKzsjxgEiI/AAAAAAAAAHg/8knDOnxmAXE/s1600/Minimalist+Startup+2.PNG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4lKIpcu7gqE/TGKzsjxgEiI/AAAAAAAAAHg/8knDOnxmAXE/s320/Minimalist+Startup+2.PNG" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Changes:<br />
<ul>
<li>Fixed erroneous memory deletion</li>
<li>Fixed a few memory leaks</li>
<li>Added visual indication when advanced version information cannot be obtained for certain startup programs</li>
</ul>

<br />
I've pushed out an update to Minimalist. It's now version 0.02! Please note that it is still very much in alpha and the Startup and Misc pages are still not completed. The Tweaks page should work, but please report any bugs that may occur, including any error messages that appear in the status bar at the bottom.<br />
<br />
Changelog:<br />
<ul>
<li> Fixed string pointer error preventing Minimalist from starting on certain platforms</li>
<li>Added exception handling when parsing invalid data from the registry</li>
<li>Added minimum windows version information to certain visual effect options</li>
<li> Added timeouts for querying and changing of service status</li>
</ul>
