Re: [DQSD-Users] [DQSD-Devel] IE 11 breaks DQSD

2013-11-22 Thread James Nix 
The Windows 7/8 security "hoops" that are needed still apply for the 64 bit
installation kit and are described in gory detail in the link below.

http://www.sevenforums.com/software/11289-dave-s-quick-search-installed-w7-7
100-64-bit.html#post119008

Still looking at it with the most visible errors being no menu popup or
calendar popup as mentioned below.

What is interesting is that if I open the SEARCH.HTM manually in the IE
browser (skip through the initialization errors) the Calendar popup will
function.  The options menu will not.

Is there any documentation on what functions the DLL is performing.  If the
functions are hardcoded in the DLL it is a different type of problem to fix.

Happy Turkey Day!

I was able to get the style loader to work again by granting 'users'
'full control' of the Quick Search Deskbar folder security rights. The menu
itself still doesn't appear, but at least it does do something.
This will really help re-styling it.

Re: [DQSD-Users] [DQSD-Devel] IE 11 breaks DQSD

2013-11-15 Thread James Nix 
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?

[DQSD-Users] Link from DQSD.net - needs clarification on 64-bit and x86 version

2012-06-29 Thread James Nix 
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
 . 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)
 

 

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.

 

Just sayin'

 

Jim

As an explanation, if not consolation -- we haven't found a way to build a
64-bit installer using our current installer system, and haven't found any
alternative installer systems that make it any easier. 

 

However, I just recently got a new 64-bit Windows 7 laptop for work, and I'm
starting to miss DQSD, so maybe I'll be more personally motivated to pursue
this...

Le 27/06/2012 09:24, James Nix a écrit :

Dorene,

 

Well it is not THAT hard.  Just follow the steps.  Mostly circumventing Win7
security gotchas.

 

DQSD 64-bit did not have a “simple” EXE install kit for any 64-bit MS OS, XP
or Vista much less Win 7 for a long time and I don’t believe that it does
now.  Someone on this mailing list might correct me.  So the “tradition” of
installing DQSD 64-bit manually has a long history.  The instructions I
wrote up simply provide the steps specific to Win7 64-bit security and its
quirky use of IE 32 bit on 64 bit machine.  ( I know WHY MS does it, but
DQSD does not know that it does it).

 

I tried an EXE version that was supposed to be compatible a while back but
it was not.  Don’t know how that one was tested

 

So to answer your question,  64-bit was never a “snap” only 32 bit because
an installation EXE never existed. 

 

To my knowledge it still does not.  Nobody ever “packaged” one that I know
of. 

 

To answer your previous question I have not personally tested it with
Firefox, Chrome... I believe others have and nobody  ever said it that it
does not work.  I know it works with Sea Monkey!  8-)

 

Let me know if you have any specifci questions.

 

Jim

In my local aliases file I want to put something like this:

Note that that second | is intended to be part of my command.  Obviously
this isn't working as I want, since that | is actually acting as the field

Is there a way to "escape" that character?  I tried to use \|, and also ^|

[DQSD-Users] Does "Win64" and "x64" DQSD installation EXE support include XP, Vista and Windows 7 x64 versions?

2011-11-04 Thread James Nix 
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?

 

Please advise,

 

Muad Dib

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

I should have mentioned to use the previously attached file in place of
7toolbar1.bmp (just find/replace in the .css and change to transp.gif).  Be
sure the transp.gif file exists in the DQSD folder next to the
7toolbar1.bmp.

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.

I’ve not installed the latest IE9, so please reply with whether or not you
got it to look better.  Thanks!

Rather quiet is this list… I hope someone is still reading it :)

I’ve 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 it’s a light blue for some reason. See

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; I’ve 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 doesn’t cover the whole area
anyway.

Any advice appreciated.

I took a look at theme.css (Win7 version) and saw it uses 7toolbar1.bmp to
draw the backgrounds, and that turns out to be a  1-pixel wide column of
black pixels with a two-pixel decoration at the top. So I made one like it
using my toolbar blue. It looks almost perfect, except you'll note the light
top-shadow is one pixel thicker over the search bar than the rest of the
toolbar (fig. 1).  For some reason DQSD is putting two pixels of light blue
where the bmp only has one (fig. 2).

Anyway my original question remains... how does this work for anyone whose
toolbar isn't black to start?

Re: [DQSD-Users] IMdB issue

2010-02-28 Thread James Nix 
George,



I am not familiar with FF but for Windows/IE8 the "allow active content"
error is resolved with the following steps:


This will allow script execution on the local computer.

1) Go to Control Panel>Internet Options>Advanced.
2) Scroll down to Security.
3) Check the box "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".
4) Click Apply, exit and restart any open IE windows.

This is a step in my DQSD installation guide for Won7/64-bit at:

Perhaps the same setting affects FF or you can find the equivalent in FF.

I am using Firefox 3.5.8 and DQSD 4.0.0.6

When I type in the search bar imdb  it no longer goes
directly to the movie but rather to the IMdB page where I have to retype
the movie name.

In the past this worked as expected.  No longer.

As a aside (perhaps), when I click check for update ... , I get a pop up
window titled Internet Explorer which says Active input may harm your
computer ... are you sure you want to allow active content? Firefox
is my default browser, IE is not.


Thanks for any insights.

Re: [DQSD-Users] RESEND: New Windows 7 RTM DQSD Theme is HERE!

2009-10-07 Thread James Nix 
Matt,

Nicely done. Works very well.  I had tinkered with the theme colors 
but had trouble getting the right combination.

This fix corrects the "difficult to read", reverse color, data entry glitch.

Aside from a "one click" installation package I think all other DQSD
functionality 
is available now for Win 7 64-bit, but, admittedly, I don't use all the DQSD
features.

Thanks again!

Hi Matt,

Thanks so much for your effort in troubleshooting Windows 7
installation, and not least for building the theme (it looks great!).

I think we should release again soon, and I'd like the theme to be
part of that release. We also need to look into better installation
instructions for x64 platforms, and maybe provide a little official
hook to allow people to launch the 32-bit IE on 64-bit systems. The
workaround seems good.

Give me a little time to catch up, and I'll see if I can build a new
release from what we have.

[DQSD-Users] FW: Update to Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Installation

2009-05-26 Thread James Nix 
***News Flash***

Old worn out programmer/analyst/administrator hacks DQSD install kit  for
Windows 7 64 bit functionality.

Not all features/functionality tested but the 64 bit IE problem is solved.

*** News Flash***

Really guys, was anyone else really trying?

It may not be graceful coding (that is why it's called a HACK) but it does
work.

Anyone know how to gracefully check whether the OS is a Vista or Windows 7
and/or 32 or 64 bit in javascript?

Well, good news and bad news.

The good news is I have it working.  

The bad news is it can be difficult to remove if the installation screws up
in a certain way.  See notes below!!!

The steps I came up with avoid some Windows 7 security checks without
disabling them altogether. I will list the general steps, not every Windows
UAC "Confirm this step" message.  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.  Click "Apply" then close the Properties dialog.

3)  Repeat Step 2 above and VERIFY THAT THERE IS NO SECURITY MESSAGE

4)  Create  a temporary folder for easy Command Window access - I used
C:\Temp.  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  Taskbar>Toolbars 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.   Should an error crop up in the future, the only
thing I can think of off-hand is to boot to a command prompt an delete the
installation folder manually.

Whew I hope I got all that right!

2009-05-26 Thread James Nix 
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.  
And they have money! :-)

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed

2009-05-26 Thread James Nix 
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.

So still no joy.

It's the "pagetemplate" parameter:
  pagetemplate="maximized.htm";

If the user has the file association for that extension set to the 32bit
version, it should load that. Also, if they do not WANT to associate
that extension, they could use another custom extension and create that
association. This for localprefs.js:
  pagetemplate="dqsd.32bitie";

Yep. I wonder if the "-embedding" switch would assist in this?

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed

2009-05-15 Thread James Nix 
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.

Jim

If you don't have any objection to using Firefox as your default
browser it appears to solve the problem.

The problem I am having with Win 7 (64) is that DQSD will not stick on
the taskbar between boots.  Quick Search still remains in the list of
Toolbars - but is unticked.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed

2009-05-15 Thread James Nix 
In Vax/VMS world we used a technique called  "spawning"  another process.
Seems there should be SOMETHING similar in Windows.  In fact it should be
even easier since DQSD has no need to stay "attached" to the spawned process
and check its exit status.

Anyway I did most of my work in FORTRAN, COBOL and Assembler on minis and
mainframes.  Don't know much about Windows development environment.  Which
source code file actually does the call to run the browser?

I am still looking for a way to "trick"  DQSD into staring IE 32 bit but no
joy so far.

Well Adobe has 64 bit Flash Player Beta add-ons for *nix.  What/why they are
delaying on a Windows 64 bit is weird.  I suspect that will change, but
when?

I don't believe Adobe has a 64 bit Shockwave version yet either.

The problem is, in a way, hard coded by the methods used. DQSD runs as a DLL
in Windows Explorer. As such, it makes "inproc" or in-process calls to other
executables. 64-bit processes can't make 32-bit calls, (and 32-bit processes
can't make 64-bit calls). I am NOT a developer, far from it, but it should
be technically possible to fork off the call in a way that would allow it to
call the 32-bit IE. But doing so is both non-trivial in Windows (which
doesn't really _do_ forks), and a significant shift from how the existing
32-bit code works. The intent was to not have two different code bases,
which would be required if we changed the way the browser gets called.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed

2009-05-14 Thread James Nix 
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?


Thanks!

James,

Nice, thanks!

One thing that stands out to me is the need to Unblock the entire
archive, which presumably goes through the contents of the .zip and
unblocks every single file.

If only we could package this as an installer instead, that problem
would go away. Problem is, we don't have any experience with free
installer packages that support 64-bit Windows.

2009-05-11 Thread James Nix 
Well, good news and bad news.

The good news is I have it working.  

The bad news is it can be difficult to remove if the installation screws up
in a certain way.  See notes below!!!

The steps I came up with avoid some Windows 7 security checks without
disabling them altogether. I will list the general steps, not every Windows
UAC "Confirm this step" message.  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.  Click "Apply" then close the Properties dialog.

3)  Repeat Step 2 above and VERIFY THAT THERE IS NO SECURITY MESSAGE

4)  Create  a temporary folder for easy Command Window access - I used
C:\Temp.  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  Taskbar>Toolbars 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.   Should an error crop up in the future, the only
thing I can think of off-hand is to boot to a command prompt an delete the
installation folder manually.

Whew I hope I got all that right!

I haven't even tried on Win7. Given  the changes in the task bar, I'm not
confident that it would work. We are really up against it at this point, and
I think we need to find a way to work within the MS guidelines if we don't

[DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed

2009-05-11 Thread James Nix 
Hello,

I am trying to install the dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip package on a Windows 7 RC1
64 bit system.

I never have used the 64 bit installation kit before.

So far I have had no luck but that may be due to my mistakes.

Has anyone installed to the Windows 7 RC1 64 bit system before?

 If so, please provide instructions.

Thanks in advance!

2009-01-09 Thread James Nix 
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.

Ah, I forgot to mention the other option... With launchmode=1, DQSD
uses a temporary .html file to launch the browser. and that was
started in UPM, and with an infobar warning about ActiveX activity on
the page.

Interestingly, starting URLs from DQSD directly worked without a hitch.

OK, good to know, but it sounds like it doesn't help/hinder...

2009-01-09 Thread James Nix 
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!

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. Thanks for your reports.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered

2009-01-07 Thread James Nix 
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.  Just an old
FORTRAN/Assembler coder here.  :)

Later!

Hi James,

Nope, there's a launchmode variable, too, just below
reuseBrowserWindowMode in preferences.js.

You might want to check whether it's overridden in localprefs.js, but
in a default install it should have the value 1.

Thanks,

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

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?

Kim,

Well it seems DQSD IS starting SOME windows in Protected Mode (PM)
correctly and some blank windows in UnProtected Mode (UPM) incorrectly, or
so it seems.  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.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for that tidbit, I guess that makes sense. 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.

Just some random thoughts,
- Kim

Thank you for the reply.  I searched the archives but I missed your post.
Now I won't waste anymore time.  I will continue using DQSD but will not
install it on anymore client PCs.  I can survive without protected mode, but
they may not and could accuse me of being negligent.

Later!

note that the blank window has Protected Mode off while the window with

2009-01-05 Thread James Nix 
I have the cause/effect but can't explain why/what.

Brief Update of Symptom:  DQSD entered specific addresses (i.e.
www.newegg.com) opens additional "blank page" for each entry.

Currently using:

Vista Home Premium 32 Bit SP1 with IE7 in Tabbed Mode.
Dqsd-400-rc3

Problem Cause/Solution:  IE7 was running with "Protected Mode" enabled.
Disabling "Protected Mode" caused DQSD to behave 
as expected when localprefs.js set to:

*
*  0=new window always [default]
*  1=single window for all
*  2=single window for each search type
*/
reuseBrowserWindowMode = 0;

Note that I had tried disabling all IE7 add-ons as well as various
spyware/adware tools (AVG Free Edition, Spybot Resident Shiels and
Tea=timer) with no luck.

Seems like DQSD did not behave this way when I first upgraded to Vista Sp1.
Maybe a new Vista IE7 security patch? 

Has no one else noticed this?  I mean I like feeling special but
jez not like this! :)

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.

[DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address 1s entered

2008-12-24 Thread James Nix 
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!
