~Help~ [wb alpha]

from WinCustomize Forums
Internet Explorer keeps locking up on loading when I am using wb alpha.
I hate to admit this but it only happens on a skin I am working on. (the one I just uploaded)
I made a new version thinking it was the smart buttons that caused the lockup. This didn't change. There is nothing out of the ordinary with the graphics or code. I am totally stumped and need advice or something.

Would anyone have a suggestion, ANY, that might cause a failure in IE.

Sorry, you have used up your help points. Please try again later.

Just playing.

I'm not sure about that. Sorry, no answers. I know, I"m not much help lately. Did you happenly updated any security patches with MS for the IE? That was just a idea. But I'm not sure if your skin might have any effect on it. Maybe somebody will show up and help out.

if you have ad-aware installed and running, try disabling it and see if it does it again?

just curious...

Also turn off WindowsFX if it is the latest...

I have ad aware but use spybot mostly so I will uninstall ad aware.

I did a IE fix and have all the updates. Disabling Webblinds didn't help and I can't run FX because my video card is intergrated into the motherboard and warnings appear that FX will use the CPU more.

I was just wondering about if you did the updates on IE recently. Because sometimes even the updates conflict with things. You know, their crack down on alot of thihgs. But if there is a code that it doesn't like, it goes wacko. But that's normal with MS by what everybody says. I hardly have issues or I fix them myself

Do You have WebBlinds running ?

mm. even if you do not initialize WBlinds, you might want to re-install over it if you had it installed before?

When the repaire was done it might have changed a file that WBlinds hooks to or some such so it goes burp when it trys to access the specific file, what ever it might end up being. If that is the problem... just a thought...

I sincerely appreciate all the input. Reinstalling webblinds might be a solution. I didn't think of that.

The very first alpha of wb was fine. After that version there was an update for SkinStudio and that is when the problem started. Could SkinStudio add something that might be a problem. I noticed there is a lot of code that is listed in the validation. My skin is the only one I mess with in SkinStudio so that might be why it is only one acting up.

Well the mystery has been solved and the bug has been squashed.

Reading the posts made me think that perhaps I was looking in the wrong place for the solution.

It didn't dawn on me but on the bottom frame there was a clock. Not the CClock plugin but the one built into wb. After I removed that IE worked fine. I am running wb alpha 3.9f and no problems.

Thanks again for the new direction.
