Mr. Sephiroth,
Please take a look at (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum61/HTML/001005.html#")this(/url) thread. It seems that the problem is most likely attributed to either incorrect installation of the plug-ins, or using the unregistered version of PoG and attempting to utilize more than 1 plug-in at a time(a limit that has been suggested to be the maximum amount of plug-ins allowed under the unregistered version. I haven't confirmed this though).
Anyhow, please take a look at that thread and let us know if your problem appears to be different.
Good luck.

That works too, though I wouldn't mind getting to the bottom of the "windows problem." Several people have asked this same question and I'd like to know what the actual problem is.
Granted, I am downloading the windows version now so I'll be able to do my own testing in a little bit.

Alrighty, I downloaded the windows version and did a little poking around. I did enough poking to find that there very well could be a problem with plug-ins under the windows environment.
In my testing keydown events simply did not work. So all the cheater plugs out there that have you hit the "1" key to get a bonus to something, or something similar to that, just won't work for Windows.
Plug-ins that enhance game play such as Trinity or Sapphire or Uber-Guardian should work just fine. However any special keys that may have been defined in those plug-ins will not work in Windows.
I will do some more testing of this and try to get to the bottom of this. In the mean time I have notified the developers that there does seem to be a problem.

Hmmm, it seems Stark Bledfast may have a lead! With my results (See them at (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum61/HTML/001005.html)")http://www.ambrosias....ML/001005.html)(/url) I discovered you are absolutely correct, but I didn't notice this. Good work Bledfast! I'll test some other plugins to make sure though.
Oh yeah, and I have a question. If you go to main page for PoG, and then go the page where you can download plugins, (Does that link say Add - on pies???) there are a number of plugins there to download. You can click view more on the right side under either Most Downloadable and Highest Ranked Addons. But when you click either of these, there are only a couple more plugins shown. Where can I go to find more plugins? Are these all the ones currently available on the site???

Heh. There was a thread about this waaaay back yonder asking the same thing. The button used for the PoG page is pretty difficult to read. It actually says "Add-on Files" but the font makes it so that the F and the i blur together to look like a P, the l has a strange top so that it looks kind of like an i, and the e appears similar to a c. I thought it said "Add-on Pics" for the longest time.

These are currently the extent of the plug-ins. More should follow in the time to come.
