FAQs

Here is the list of some frequently asked questions.

Q: How do you make these videos on YouTube?
A: I originally used Hypercam 2 to record Speedy Eggbert games. Earlier I couldn't find a way to record these videos, and I also had a problem with recording the sound. Later, I used Camtasia Studio to record and edit my videos. I then used Fraps to record games. When I got Windows 7, I was able to record the desktop (and the virtual machine) by using Fraps.

Q: How did you get Microsoft Agent to work?
A: You can fix Microsoft Agent by downloading Hotfix (for Windows 7 only) and enable Double Agent (for Windows Vista, 7 and later). I mainly use Microsoft Agent in my virtual machine.

Q: I have a problem with colorful backgrounds around Microsoft Agent. What should I do?
A: Enable Double Agent or use Microsoft Agent in a virtual machine.

Q: How do you modify Speedy Eggbert 1 or 2?
A: I use Resource Hacker to modify the game, Microsoft Paint, Paint.NET, and GIMP to edit images, and Audacity to modify and change sounds.

Q: Some of my programs have been detected as viruses. But they are false-positive. Why is that?
A: For some reason antiviruses really don't like old programs and they always detect them as viruses. It may be necessary to disable the protection or use a different antivirus program.

Q: Is there Speedy Eggbert 3?
A: Speedy Eggbert 3 was made and published by Star and Moon on Blupi Paradise forum but unfortunately, the project had been discontinued for years. There is no way to download SE3. Besides, it was just an unofficial modification and there are no news that EPSITEC will create another version of Speedy Eggbert.

Q: Have you tested Microsoft Agent on Windows 10?
A: Sorry, but I never used Windows 10. I think that it will work on Windows 10.

Q: Why don't you upgrade to Windows 10?
A: Because there are some spying and advertising features that I do not like on Windows 10. I am currently happy with Windows 7. I'll decide later.

Q: Can I load more than one Microsoft Agent characters?
A: Yes. Just load another character and add it to the MASH script.

Q: Did you finish your modified version of Speedy Eggbert 1 and 2 games?
A: Yes, but not The Eggventure mod. I'll see if I can finish the mod in the future.

Q: I want to record the entire screen (not just games) using Fraps. Does Fraps work on Windows 8 and later?
A: I haven't tried it on Windows 8 and later, but I think it will not work. Windows Aero is only included in Windows Vista and 7, so I don't think it is included on Windows 8 and later. Fraps cannot record the desktop unless Windows Aero is enabled. I did record games on Windows 8 and 8.1, but not the desktop one.

Q: Can you make a video about how to create custom Microsoft Agent characters?
A: Sorry, but I'm not an expert when it comes to animating new characters. Also, I don't use Microsoft Agent Character Editor for creating custom characters.
