[DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address 1s entered
Hello, I am running Vista Home Premium 32 Bit SP1 with IE7 in Tabbed Mode. I have installed/reinstalled every available version of DQSD and tried the various reuseBrowserWindowMode options to no avail. When I enter a web address in the search bar of the form www.some_named_address.com then: 1) If there is no open IE window, a new window is opened with the some_named_address location correctly displayed and an extra BLANK PAGE window is opened. 2) If an IE window is already opened, with/without extra tab windows present, the current window/tab is RE-USED for the some_name_address location AND an extra BLANK PAGE window is opened. 3) This will happen repeatedly, with an extra BLANK PAGE window being created each time. 4) If I enter a general search such as athlon 64 x2 5600+ then everything behaves as I expect/want, a new window/tab is opened with the Google results of the search and no extra BLANK PAGE window is created. I have run 3 different virus/spyware/adware scans. I have poked and tweaked the Internet Options as well. I don't remember ever having this problem before nor what I may have changed to cause this behavior to occur recently. I also just did a fresh install of Vista Home Premium 32 bit for a friend who had a disk crash and I get the SAME behavior. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I love DQSD and have installed it on every computer I have serviced over the last few years. Thank you! Jim P.S. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! -- ___ 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
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

Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered
Now I see said the blind man to his deaf wife! Launch mode = 1 Believe me I have installed 3 different version of DQSD, all with default installation settings, all the same result. It is a problem with DQSD/Vista, not with my system(s). Seems to me that if DQSD can launch a Protected Mode Google or Alta Vista Window when This is a test search is entered, then it should be able to launch a Protected Mode Window when www.newegg.com is entered. I looked at Search.htm, not familiar enough with the language.

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) ?

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed
All, Perhaps this has been mentioned before, perhaps not. Problem: DQSDx64 by default runs the 64 Bit IEXPLORE.EXE. This is a problem because many add-ons do not (yet) support the 64 bit IEXPLORE. Of particular note is Adobe Flash Player v10. DQSDx64 will, by default run C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe In Windows 7 64 Bit that is the 64 bit version of IE. The 32 bit version of IE is located, by default, in C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe I would think that most people (including me!) would want to use the 32 bit IE for compatibility purposes. I did a quick check for an easy way to change the DQSDx64 target IE exe file but did not see one. Is it hard coded?

Note that I use TweakUAC to suppress most of them anyway. 1) Download the dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip package to a location you will remember. :-) 2) Right click the dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip package and select Properties. At the bottom of the dialog there may be a message Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer Click the Unblock button.

Unzip the dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip file (keeping folder names) into C:\Temp. 5) Navigate to C:\Temp\DQSDx64. Check a couple of .JS files and verify that the files do not have the Security message in their Properties (see step 2). 6) Create a new desktop shortcut - Target: CMD.EXE ; Name Command Window 7) CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT. IF THE INSTALLATION SCREWS UP THE DQSD CLOCK SCRIPT ERROR WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO REMOVE DQSD. THE EASIEST FIX IT IS TO DO A SYSTEM RESTORE. 8) Right click the Command Window shortcut created in step 6 and click Run as Administrator 9) In the command window navigate to the installation folder C:\Temp\DQSDx64 (or where the Unzipped files are). 10) Type SETUPX64.CMD - follow the prompts. 11) When install is complete, with no errors (Hope!) you will have to right click the taskbar and select Toolbars twice before Quick Search appears. NOTES: There is no entry in Programs and Features to remove/uninstall DQSDx64. I could not find one in the install folder either. Also, once you have turned the toolbar on by right clicking the TaskbarToolbars any attempt to turn it off causes Explorer to restart with DQSD still there. Additionally if the installation has javascript errors in the CLOCK.JS (?) for whatever reason, it is virtually impossible to delete the install folder in order to start over/reinstall, even when booting to SAFE MODE. That is the why the RESTORE POINT above is important. If the install fails - you can restore your system.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed
Hi Bill, Personally, I have tried FF (I am not an ideologue in the great MS/Non MS choices of life). It has its pros and cons over IE for the technically adept. However, my small user base is not very adventurous, or skilled, so it is far easier to keep their setups as off-the-shelf/turnkey as possible. It only took some of them a year to realize that DQSD was a taskbar search tool. They thought I had just installed a fancy clock. :-) And YES, that was after they were shown, provided with instructions, etc, etc, etc. As for your Win 7 (64) DQSD quirk - I am using a clean/new install of the Win 7 RC1 64 bit using the installation steps I provided in the previous email. The only problems I have are A) IE 32/64 bit conflict and B) Cannot un-tick the DQSD toolbar without causing an Explorer restart C) Cannot edit/change DQSD configuration from the DQSD menu. Problem C above is folder/file security. I can manually go into the DQSD installation folder and edit the PREFERENCES.JS file for instance. Just cannot do it from the DQSD Configuration menu. I am still looking at that.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed
I tried both methods Windows 7 RC7100 64 bit to associate HTM and HTML file types with JUST the 32 bit (x86) IEXPLORE.EXE. My be some fancy foot work behind the scenes on MS's part. At any rate DQSD still launched the 64 bit IEXPLORE even when Windows presented the IEXPLORE is not your default web browser, etc, etc message. 2nd method. I created a file type .32bitie, created a file association and added the attached registry entries. Made the changes to localprefs.js. Starting DQSD generated script errors (Object is NULL etc) and the page starts with the Activex/Script blocked for security reasons, do you want to allow, etc message. DQSD does start the DQSD.32BITIE pagetemplate file but it STILL runs the 64 but IEXPLORE.EXE. If I simply click on the DQSD.32BITIE file it opens with the 32 bit IEXPLORE.EXE, produces the ActiveX/Script warning and once I allow the script it does open the blank search template full screen.

[DQSD-Users] Update to Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Installation
All, One update to the steps outlined below (no the 64 bit IE problem is not solved). Turning the Quick Search toolbar Off by right clicking the TaskbarTools option WILL FAIL and cause an Explorer restart UNLESS the Taskbar is LOCKED. Dont ask me why, that is for the developers. 8=) If you want to turn the Quick Search Toolbar on or off then first LOCK the Taskbar (A MUST if you want to turn it OFF!). If you are turning it ON - first lock the Taskbar, turn it on and then unlock the Taskbar to adjust the size, etc. Note: Another 64 bit port of one of my favorites, ICONOID, has a similar problem with Windows 7 RC 64 bit. The tray icon will not appear unless the taskbar is locked. Hm...

Which version of Win 7 64 bit are you running? What is your UAC setting? The install steps I outlined for a clean install (8=)) aren't THAT convoluted. But they do emphasize a couple of steps required to overcome some Win 7 security checks. I looked at the email you referenced. That was not a particularly clear installation guide. I did try the install steps as provided in the readme. They did not work as written because of Win7 security quirks. Even my steps still omit changing the security on the actual localprefs.js, etc files. Only really significant if you want to edit them from the DQSD Configure menus. Anyway, I have it working except for the 64 bit IEPLORE.EXE. And that is only a PIA because Adobe has not produced a 64 bit flash player.

Maybe James system color happens to match the DQSD theme color? I could perhaps tweak the search bar color to match the taskbar color but (1) the taskbar is sort of a gradient fill rather than a uniform color, (2) if I changed my windows theme of course the search bar would no longer match, and (3) I haven't found, in my various poking, how to do that!

Michael,
Refresh my memory. Are you running Win7 32 bit? Are you using AERO?
Reason I ask is that I am test installing Win7 32bit (my first 32 bit
install, all others have been 64 bit) on an OLD Toshiba laptop. No Aero
support. First pass install of DQSD has color problems as well but I am
still looking at it (may have the wrong installation kit for Win7 32
bit).

If that works, you may need to remove the black pixels in dqsd.png (little
magnifying glass icon) and make them transparent (alpha channel) as well.
If the transp.gif works, you may need to add a few colored pixels at the
very top of the file to best match the embossed look at the top of the
taskbar (as seen in the 7toolbar1.bmp). I recommend you do all of this in
Photoshop.
Ive not installed the latest IE9, so please reply with whether or not you
got it to look better. Thanks!

Hi Mike:
Did you try using this .GIF file I included in my Win7 x64 Theme which uses
the Alpha Channel that IE9s adoption of the RGBA color space uses? Also,
you might want to try all black (RGB: 0/0/0).

Subject: [DQSD-Users] Bar color, again
Hello all,
Rather quiet is this list
I hope someone is still reading it :)
Ive written a few times about my problems getting the search bar to sit
transparently in my Windows 7 taskbar. I had it looking pretty good until I
installed IE 9 beta, and now its a light blue for some reason. See
attached.
Please can anyone tell me how to control this. I would be happy to force it
to the same color as my task bar if I could; Ive tried putting colors in my
localsearch.css for .txtfld, .clock background but the color I get seems not
to be related to the color I put in, and it doesnt cover the whole area
anyway.
Any advice appreciated.

[DQSD-Users] Does Win64 and x64 DQSD installation EXE support include XP, Vista and Windows 7 x64 versions?
I was surprised to stumble across this. I must have missed the email to the user's distro list. DQSD 4.1.0.0 is finally released (it has been in beta for three years, and no significant changes have been made). This version adds native x64 support, and now incorporates over 400 different search engines. This is not a security update. http://sourceforge.net/projects/dqsd/files/dqsd/4.1.0.0/; This version adds native x64 support, when I check the Sourceforge site it states the release incorporates Win64 support. 1) Does that support include x64 versions of XP, Vista and Windows 7? 2) If I instruct people to download the installation executable (the EXE file not the ZIP). Will it install and run on all 3 flavors of 64-bit Windows with no further assistance?

[DQSD-Users] Link from DQSD.net - needs clarification on 64-bit and x86 version
Was checking over some things... and noted the following. First - www.dqsd.net is dated. The primary link for download is v4.0. Below that is the announcement of the 64-bit version available from SourceForge: http://dqsd.net/new.gifCheck out the latest 4.1 BETA, now with 64-bit support, at SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42081package_id=341 45release_id=618124 . http://dqsd.net/new.gif The link for 64-bit goes to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dqsd/files/dqsd/4.1.0.0%20beta/ Three downloads are available on that page: dqsd-4100-beta.exe dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip dqsd-4110.exe The link for v4110 is announced as: Looking for the latest version? Download dqsd-4110.exe (625.2 kB) http://sourceforge.net/projects/dqsd/files/latest/download?source=files Some people following the link from www.dqsd.net for a 64-bit install EXE might assume dqsd-4100.exe is that 64-bit install kit when it is not. They download it, try to install it on Win7 64-bit and discover DQSD does not work. Not exactly good for DQSD's rep. Only one of the downloads (the ZIP) is 64-bit compatible, correct?. That is not made explicitly clear. i.e. dqsd-4110.exe should be named dqsdx86-4110.exe perhaps? Also the dqsdx64-4110.zip, as in the past, contains no README on the use of setupx64. If they do figure it out and use it it won't work without some added tinkering on Win7 or Vista correct? So again DQSD does not work. Not sure who manages dqsd.net but DQSD would be better served if the info on SourceForge were explicit.

Re: [DQSD-Users] [DQSD-Devel] IE 11 breaks DQSD
Well the 64-bit Windows 7 version has been working well for IE9 10 for some time . The install only takes about 5 minutes of minor hoop-jumping to overcome Windows 7 security settings. I just installed IE11 and. sure enough Javascript errors. The empty error in the Clocks.js script can be commented out to allow further testing (otherwise you get an error every clock refresh!). Just search for empty in the Clocks.js file. Once that is commented out the DQSD taskbar window becomes a vertical/horizontal scroll window - sort of amusing. Then the taskbar can be stretched vertically for access. Once that is done, the aliases will work. But if a test or newegg.com or some random search text is entered then a nodeValue error is generated in Defer_tools.js. I don't know Java so I have no idea why IE11 fails when IE10 works fine. Is this some deprecated feature problem? Is IE11 trying for force use of newer Java syntax? Anyway to force it NOT to do that? Luv my DQSD I have not seen any IE11 New features/performance improvements I can't live without. I know the DQSD java is old. Is there some Java version declaration statement need to enable the older syntax to run as-is. In FORTRAN we could always compile older code with a version switch to negate a re-write when using a newer compiler version. Any Java gurus out there listening? -Original Message- From: Michael Kairys [mailto:kai...@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, November 15, 2013 6:10 PM To: 'DQSD users mailing list'; 'DQSD development discussions' Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] [DQSD-Devel] IE 11 breaks DQSD I use DQSD heavily and I would be lost without it.

I have not installed DQSD on my work machines the last 3 to 4 years. It's still on my home machine (8 year old xp pro machine) and I don't really use if for opening web pages for a couple of reasons: - it takes about 30 seconds for the command to be processed and a tab to open for me - as well as opening the tab it has been giving a pop up ie error in defer_tools.js for ages and I have not tried to trouble shoot that because of the time delay mentioned before anyway, in that time I would have opened the tab and searched a couple of times over anyway. That said, Even with the popup error if I have a currency conversion to do I use it (e.g. my alias xese 400 converts 400 from sterling to euro) Also, I use it for a calculator regularly. If it was fully functional and worked on windows 7 out of the box like it used to work before for me (maybe when my home machine was newer and less bloated) I would most definitely use it - I miss it to be honest. The alternatives like setting up the browser searches are not as powerful I think. To get some speed back to the home laptop I am thinking about installing ubunto on it, so that would mean bye bye dqsd :-( I have been always hoping to get a mail from someone who has fallen in love with the tool and sorted it out and made it relevant again! :-) Take it easy, Tom.
