I have found that a lot of javascript errors come about while using pop-up ad blockers. Usually the error is in reference to "object does not exist" and that object is the pop-up that got blocked.
And yes I am very hesitant about third-party software. You see I am programming hobbiest of sorts, I have VB.NET 2003 installed and monkey around with it.
It is really easy to start developing some app with this kind of tool, have it work great, then throw it out on the web. Problem is there is really no solid beta testing or any other kind of testing done on this kind of software. What works on their computer, could have undesirous effects on someone elses.
I have seen some of this software saying it is XP compatible....but same said software requires VB3 .vbx controls to run. C'mon...I am no expert, but VB3 was back in the Windows 3.11 for Workgroup days.
The reviews...uh, huh..."3 out of 5 reviewers have rated this..." really instills a lot of assurance in me that the product is great for the masses (at least 60% of the time)
Don't get me wrong though...I do use it. But only after I have done a little background checking into the software. If I mention it in one of my posts, I will also be sure to mention that "I have not checked it out". Hopefully you guys won't hold me responsible for any damages if I do mention something without my patent disclaimer ;0)
Finally...MikMik? What is this about when you are starting up in DLL rocket mode and not being safe to disable the boot on the launch pad thingy? You also mentioned something about a "prevent safety" gismo...are we talking football or have you got a hold of some 3-day old Egg Nog again? ;0)
