okay... so for the past 6 months or so my desktop computer has had this javascript issue... I haven't wanted to fix it by reformatting because that would mean i don't have a computer to test on to use when working through this problem...

however, due to time issues and lack of understanding.. I haven't made any progress anyway.

My computer is having more issues now and I need to reformat... - so hopefully next weekend I will be reformatting and installing one a couple of programs at a time and testing PrettyPictures to see when the problem arises...

hopefully this works and gives us some insight into what's causing it and we can figure out how to fix it.

I was wondering, have you checked to make sure it's not related to the versions of Java, ActiveX, or Flash installed on the computer(s)?

I have checked some of those things that I've been able to (not active X - how do I do this?)

You don't need to install the test files as you are not getting the error. The access violation you get is known but I'm yet to look into it properly.. it occurs when the PP window is resized.

thanks for the feedback - hope you like the script!

I just installed PP on MM 3.03.1183, running on a Vista Home Premium PC. I have the flash problem (takes 2 clicks to focus) but no javascript issue. I can play albums by doubleclicking. The only odd thing I've seen besides flash is that I get an access violation when I try to drag the PP screen down to make the "show details" window tiny. It reads

Access violation at address 0064DFFC in module 'MediaMonkey.exe'. Read of address 00000250.

If you think it would help you if I install the test files, let me know and I will. If I can figure out how to make the forum tell me when you respond... ahh. the checkbox

none whatsoever

Just curious if any progress has been made?

Man, this is unbelievable. How come it's so difficult to find out what the problem is???

Just a few more questions : it can't be a language thing? Like it would work on an english version of windows but not on other countries'.
Could it be a hardware issue? Though I don't see how hardware would interact with a script... Or a MM gold vs. not gold? Or that your default browser must be set to IE? I don't know if those are stupid suggestions because I'm not a script expert but I'm trying to help...

I remember when I bought a new sound card for my system and it wouldn't work. I figured it was a file installed with my webcam (a driver if I remember well) that was the problem. So I guess the problem with PP could be anything.

no problem.. I'm just glad for the input, cause I can't figure this out on my own

I've only recieved 2 reports of computer details through the testing program I made.

but they indicate it isn't also.
There's 1 vista machine that works and 1 xp machine that doesn't, while my personal machines are the other way round.

Dale.
ps. in the system data it says either windows nt 6.0 or windows nt 5.1
I'm assuming 6 means vista and 5.1 means xp (as that correlates to my computer setups)

ah ok, sorry i'm at work and i'm only loosely scanning the forums...

Dale.

so is this a vista thing?

Dale.

A difference between IE6 and IE7 maybe?

Since we didn't see any of these problems until after MM 3 was released. I deceided to test the problem on MM 2 on a computer that didn't work in MM 3.

so I installed the testing file in MM 2 and found that it persists.
I also modified PrettyPictures to work in MM 2 and it also still persists.

so I can confidently say that the problem hasn't arisen due to any changes implemented in MM 3. It must be something to do with the rest of the system.

yeah.. thanks, I have; I commented about it in the original thread:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12907

doesn't do the job though. unfortunately
