Using XP Pro SP3, patched, with SM 1.1.19 (I know, I know) with
Multizilla, IETab. Normally does everything I want/need, but recently
had to restore everything to a new HDD, old one started acting like it
was going to give up.
Built new HDD from scratch, all proceeded well. Installed SM with
it's bits, then restored profile settings from daily backup of old
HDD. Browser and mail settings came back with no grief at all (and
it's the only profile on the PC, shared by my wife & I.)
During subsequent installs, etc., not related to SM, though, something
has affected the profile. In browser window at home tab group's first
page (http://news.bbc.co.uk), there's a moving headline 'ticker' which
is supposed to scroll across the page, above the headline news article
& picture. On mine now, this doesn't exist. There's also some
weather maps at other BBC news pages which have stopped displaying.
Thought it might be down to file associations (Flash, pictures, etc.)
but it works normally if I use IETab to view the same pages. Played
with Quicktime settings ,etc., but no joy. I have created a new test
profile and it works as advertised. I've cleared the original
profile's cache, and deleted the panacea.dat and localstore.rdf files,
since they're the only ones with date-time stamps new enough to be
suspect. Also no joy.
If I simply create a new profile and move things across, how do I know
what it is about any previous profile settings that's causing this, so
I don't move the problem?
I believe your issue is related to Flash. Using NoScript, I reproduced
the behavior you are relating.
I suggest you check Flash Player here:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Thanks. I'd already found out it was Flash that was the problem, but I
couldn't figure out why the SM install of Flash (as opposed to IE)
wasn't working from the Adobe site. Turns out it was a Multizilla
script blocking setting. Once I cleared that, the Adobe install ran.
Page now renders as it's supposed to, even though Flash doesn't show up
in SM's about:plugins listing.
Odd it should turn out to be that, since nothing I've done since it was
working should have had any affect on Multizilla or Flash. Oh well.
