This specific issue (script error on startup on Vista) I have committed a fix for, but I have not yet built a new release. I haven't had the bandwidth to look into the other issues (script error on launch) in any detail. Would anyone like me to build a new release off what we have right now? There are a couple of fixes and some new searches in since last time. Cheers, - Kim -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered
Hi James, As it happens, we just bought a new laptop for Christmas, and it came with Vista. I just managed to install DQSD for tinkering... I've tried these steps, and I got the same results, but ONLY when running with launchmode = 0, so it doesn't match your settings, strangely enough. I also get the AppDataDirectory error that Michael mentions after I change to launchmode=0, but it shows immediately when I restart the bar. Weird. I'll see if I can find some time to follow up on these issues during the weekend.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered
Kim, I am glad you have a platform to emulate the problem(s). I am a little unclear on your description. Are you saying that with launchmode=1, DQSD behaves correctly? Also, it has occurred to me that I am doing one other variation with Vista. I use the TWEAKUAC utility ( http://www.tweak-uac.com/home/ ) to set the Vista UAC into Silent mode to suppress some of the annoying Are you sure questions. It is not the cause of the problem though as DQSD exhibited the same symptoms on a new clean Vista install that I completed recently.

Kim, So, in your testing, DQSD is NOT behaving correctly when Vista/IE7 PM is on regardless of launchmode/reusewindow mode settings, correct (Y/N) ? But like I said, if it can start a Google or Alta-Vista search window correctly in PM it should be able to start a URL without the UPM blank window, or so it seems to me. -Original Message- From: Kim Gräsman [mailto:kim.gras...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 4:08 PM To: DQSD users mailing list Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered Hi James, On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 20:16, James Nix ni...@charter.net wrote: I am a little unclear on your description.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered
Launch mode... I click on DQSD, type in address/search criteria, press enter. Nothing fancy. Try the sequence. I would be concerned that something was wrong with my personal setup but I just did a clean install on another system for client. Same results. Also, FYI. If Protected Mode is ON, attempting to turn off DQSD Toolbar in the Taskbar results on Windows Explorer being re-started. -Original Message- From: Kim Gräsman [mailto:kim.gras...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 2:47 PM To: DQSD users mailing list Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered Hi James, Thanks, that's interesting. I can't really see why the regular URL launch should end up un-protected -- intuitively for me, it should be the other way around. You definitely should not have to disable PM. DQSD should run with system defaults, and PM is a good default. What's your launchMode?

Try this sequence if you are setup to do so (Vista 32 bit, IE7 in Tabbed Mode, DQSD reuseBrowserWindowMode = 0). With Protected Mode ON in Internet Options Security tab. 1) DQSD entry test search 1 creates PM Google Window 1 with search field test search 1 2) DQSD entry test search 2 creates PM Google New Tab Window in Window 1 with search field test search 2 3) DQSD entry gg newegg.com creates PM Google New Tab Window in Window 1 with search field newegg.com 4) DQSD entry av newegg.com creates PM Alta Vista New Tab Window in Window 1 with search field newegg.com 5) DQSD entry newegg.com creates blank UPM Window 2 and reuses AV Tab Window from step 4 with WWW.NEWEGG.COM 6) DQSD entry cnn.com creates blank UPM Window 3 and reuses Tab Window from step 4 with WWW.CNN.COM 7) DQSD entry test search 3 creates PM Google New Tab Window in Window 1 with search field test search 3 ... and so on... Like I said earlier, I can live with it by simply turning PM OFF on IE Security Options. But I won't turn PM off for end users and I am not even going to try to explain the 'rules' governing the sequence above to them.

DQSD's taskbar instance of IE can't run in protected mode, so any window it launches will probably inherit the non-protectedness. I don't know of a way to force IE into protected mode -- even if it's launched via double-click on a .html file, it gets Protected Mode: Off, presumably because a local file is considered safer. Maybe if there is a way to configure which sites require Protected Mode, you can add DQSD's %PROGRAMFILES%\Quick Search Deskbar\search.htm or the launch path used for the launchMode where we write out a .html file to your temp dir.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address 1s entered
Hi James, I am running Vista Home Premium 32 Bit SP1 with IE7 in Tabbed Mode. Which version of DQSD? -Shawn I have tried V4.0 (current release) Dqsd-400-rc3 Dqsd-4100-beta I get the same results. I thought maybe one of the versions might have left a bad entry in the registry but I did a search on it and saw nothing obvious. It is a real puzzler as I got the same results on a fresh install of Vista SP1 - 32 bit I did last week. Hm.. head scratcher. -- ___ To unsubscribe visit: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users DQSD-Users@lists.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8601
