RE: [DQSD-Users] Fix for XP SP2 Problem
I'm with Charlie - if we don't actually _fix_ the SP2 problem **without** decreasing the security of the system then we didn't "fix" anything. Maybe roll up a release but leave the SP2 'fixes' that we're currently toying with out. I do not want to change the registry and give any special rights to either explorer.exe or iexplore.exe - doing so is asking for trouble. Regards, Shawn K.

Especially since it's nearly impossible to run as less than local admin. That's a recipe for quietly having a zombie some day, or even a root kit installed. I'm willing to let a specific application (ie, DQSD) run one or more ActiveX components on my desktop, but it stops there. If we can't find a more long term solution to the problem, I'm quite willing to either give up the calendar (a minor loss, for me personally), or click twice during logon, and if/when I open help. An annoyance, but hardly life altering. A root kit on my machine would quickly become life altering. So count me in favour of releasing a version with rolled up fixes, with or without a more long term solution to the SP2 problem.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Fix for XP SP2 Problem
Thanks Monty, I downloaded the "comx" and "racetv" searches and they both worked for me. and my calendar works too. and I do have SP2 installed. so if other people are having problems with these searches it is probably because activeX is disabled by default in SP2. But you can enable activeX through the internet options panel. Rev.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Fix for XP SP2 Problem
I had removed the convertstylestoinline() in both comx and racetv some time ago. It loaded a ton of css that wasnt needed or used for a simple html page.. You might have old versions of these..

Kim I think I remember you had tried them > before, and they were ok.. I dont have those searches in place yet > since I am rebuilding my machine. Neither of the searches with popup windows work, as far as I can tell, because of the iexplore.exe issue. I've tried adding a mark-of-the-web, but either I didn't do it right, or it just didn't work. Part of the problem with popup windows is that they all use convertStylesToInline, where they read the main document's stylesheet - that's apparently ubiquitously disallowed in SP2. I tried omitting the stylesheet copying, but then there was some other problem, etc, ad sleepium. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: InterSystems CACHE FREE OODBMS DOWNLOAD - A multidimensional database that combines robust object and relational technologies, making it a perfect match for Java, C++,COM, XML, ODBC and JDBC. www.intersystems.com/match8 ___ To unsubscribe visit: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8601
Re: [DQSD-Users] Fix for XP SP2 Problem
I used the Registry workaround to take care of the SP2 problem and everything seems to work. the calendar works for me. But I can't find any the "comx" and "racetv" searches that are made referenced to in the posting here and I have the most recent version of DQSD. I also saw a post that was asking if the registry fix would disable blocking in other IE windows. Well for me it still worked when opening a IE browser window but that was a hassle for me to have it keep asking me if I wanted an activeX control used so in internet options I just enable the activeX controls and then I didn't get bothered with it. If other people are having problems with functions not working after the registry edit and you don't mind have activeX enabled you might try enabling activeX through the internet options panel and see if that does anything for you.

I typed 'calendar', but I was thinking of the help window. That's another dead feature, IIRC. The problem with that is, the majority of code runs inside explorer.exe, so the registry fix takes care of that, but the help window and some popup windows run inside iexplore.exe unconditionally. So you would have to apply the registry hack to iexplore.exe as well, and that doesn't feel so good. > (has anyone tried the comx > or racetv searches which spawn an extra window to see if these > searches > function with the change??)

At 12:35 18/11/2004 -0800, you wrote: Hi Kim, > Opinions? What's more important - new release or new > release working with SP2? IMHO, we ought to have something SP2-compatible first. I don't think it does us any good to push out a new version when our primary 'new' audience still can't use it. That sentence completely sums-up the problem as I see it. I don't have any problem using normal DQSD on XPSP2 and never have - I just click through the warning bar and carry on. As far as I can tell, everything (well, the bits I use, which include the calendar) works OK. Are there people who 'can't use it'? Lots of the 'fixes' being proposed actually seem to me to come at a much higher cost than clicking past a warning when I boot. They also seem to be very variable in their effectiveness and side-effect profile. I'm not arguing against a proper fix for SP2, I'm just saying that it appears to me that at the current rate of progress we might wait an infinitely long time for it to emerge, and we might as well release a version of DQSD in the mean time.
