I'm not disputing that, I'm trying to get to the bottom of why there's a difference between our machines, as that may lead us to a core problem, and maybe a clean workaround.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered
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 wrote: > > I am a little unclear on your description.

This appears to be a simple timing issue -- the scripts load in a different order on Vista, so the DQSDLauncher isn't created when it's first used. I should be able to fix this pretty easily, thanks for the report. - Kim -- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

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. Later! -Original Message- From: Kim Gräsman [mailto:kim.gras...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 11:28 AM 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, As it happens, we just bought a new laptop for Christmas, and it came with Vista.

Re: [DQSD-Users] comx /dilbert access denied
hey Shawn, Happy new year! Not wanting to put any pressure on you, but I know I'm not the only one excited about your pending fix! Cheers, Tom. Re: [DQSD-Users] comx /dilbert access denied From: Shawn K. Hall - 2008-11-11 04:03 That's exactly the same error. The only thing that jumps out at me is that the code in comx is using synchronous XML-HTTP transfers, it isn't changing the UA, and isn't checking for errors, which can all cause issues. If the UA isn't changed you may end up where the server flat-out rejects attempts to connect from the MS XmlHttp object (mine does). Synchronous transfers can cause stale or broken connections if the connection is refused or for any other reason the server doesn't return content. Finally, without error trapping, there's no way to tell what the error could be. I'm going to put this on my short list for rewriting it to make it do all of the above. It's a lot of code though, so no guarantees it'll happen right away. On the plus side, it'll be more modular, so new comics should be a lot easier to add. ;) Meanwhile, if you look at the rssx search I wrote (lines 42-56), which comx is based on, you'll see a much better way to handle the remoting aspects. -Shawn -- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
