Yes, it is normal for a .NET application. But also, the number in task manager is deceptive. Google it if you want to.

"If you search back through .NET discussion groups you’ll see many conversations like this. Newcomer to .NET says: “I’ve just been looking at Task Manager. Why does my simple VB.NET Windows application use 12MB RAM?” The answer comes back, “Don’t worry. The app doesn’t really use that much RAM; Windows will give it back if other apps need it. Minimize your application and you’ll see how little it really needs.” Newcomer minimizes the app, and sees the Mem Usage reported go down to say 750K."

When you first install it, the Tell Me When notifier opens to the Monitor tab. Click on Autoconfigure for Conquer Club. It fills in the proper values except for your username. Enter your username in the place indicated. Click on the Status tab. Click on the Check Now button. It will tell you if you have any games that are ready for you to take your turn in. In your browser go to My Games and verify that both the Tell Me When notifier and My Games indicate the same number of games that are ready for you to take your turn in. Remember there may be an up to five-minute delay in the information that the Tell Me When notifier gets from My Games (actually the RSS feed from Conquer Club).

Now for your question. Are you saying you did the above configuration and it didn't work? Or it did work, but then it stopped working? Or that it didn't save your user name? Specifically, what's the problem?


It is working properly now at home. However, I am having an issue in getting it to work at work...LOL. I get the following error message...

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

Thanks.


The program requires that you have the .NET runtime library installed. You can get the runtime library here:

Is there a way to get an alert of anyone playing in any game of you with Tell Me When? How many search patterns do you use? Just PLAYING and READY?

It doesn't work that way. It grabs it from an RSS feed. For example, mine is:
http://www.conquerclub.com/rss.php?user_id=44462
You can find yours on your "My Games" page.
In heaven... Everything is fine, in heaven... Everything is fine, in heaven... Everything is fine... You got your things, and I've got mine.

Well it can do more than simply tell you if you personally have a game ready to play or not perhaps. It can help you figure out when players who are not you come online maybe. NOTE: Sent address that came out wrong in post earlier perhaps.

In you game list there is an rss feed link that resolves to something like this:

http://www.conquerclub.com/rss.php?user_id=446586

try that user id.

The notifier used to work for me, but as of a few months ago it stopped working and displays the following error:

Result: ERROR: Configuration system failed to initialize

any ideas?

Thanks!

Awesome tool!

Great integration with gmail. Easy to set up and gives me email notifications when turns become available, handy because I wanted something that my android could buzz me for.
