Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Gregg Tavares (greggman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: IE and taskbar lockup Initial Comment: I've spent a long weekend verifying that when I launch IE from the deskbar (by searching for something), the first time I click any link in the new IE window IE locks up and so does my taskbar. If I launch IE myself, (ie, click the IE icon) this problem doesn't happen. This problem started recently for me. I must have upgraded to a newer version of DQDS. At first I assumed I had some kind of virus. Nope. Then I assumed my Windows was messed up. It had been a 4 years since my last reformat. I reformatted my HD and reinstalled. Seriously. I immedately installed DQDS and the problems started immediately. I didn't suspect DQDS but after a while I started to notice things working if I never used DQDS. After using my machine with no problems for several hours I turned DQDS back on and did a search and sure enough, the first link I clicked in that window looked up IE and the taskbar again. I did notice once that it's not strictly a lockup because one time while it was locked up I got a phone call. While I was on the call, maybe 20 minutes in, all of a sudden it unlocked. So, that could mean there is either some timeout issue or some incredibly long loop. I'm running American XP Pro with all the latest patches. I guess I should go through the release notes and see what changed but I thought I should log the bug ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Will Dean (willdean) Date: 2003-10-16 21:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=130313 This issue is related to the automatic version checking in DQSD. Recent problems as SourceForge meant that the version checking code could not check if the most up-to-date version of DQSD was running. We (ha, I didn't do anything) have fixed this (we haven't fixed SourceForge's problems, but we've stopped blocking the shell just because SF is broken), but until a new version of DQSD is built and made available, the best thing is to add the following line: checkForUpdate = false; to your localprefs.js file. (Which will be in \program files\quick search deskbar) This will inhibit the automatic check. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2003-10-16 19:38 Message: Logged In: NO I'm having the same issue and also spent a few days trying to track it down. IE and taskbar hangs on first link clicked in IE window opened with DQDS. I just installed the latest patches released by MS today, geez, can't tell the date anymore without the taskbar, and now i'm getting an error message, "Unable to instantiate DQSDTools.Launcher Automation server can't create object." It's stopped working. I just reinstalled it thinking i had the problem licked. Geez i miss this utility when it's not working.

Same symptoms but with Windows 98 SE instead of XP. I tried some of the same process of elimination approaches and it always came back to my recent download of DQDS. Use of the search bar always hangs IE and also makes some (most) of the icons disappear in the system tray! Using ctrl-Alt-Del to remove the listings for explorer (windows explorer, not IE) and the hung search window, restores IE functions but the missing icons in system tray stay missing.
