(More on) Keyboard navigation conflicts

A few users have reported odd behaviours occuring with the toolbar keyboard commands, as mentioned previously I have been hassling JUn to include a function to disable shortcuts, which he has now done.

While I don't plan to include this function [along with a bunch of others] until the next release in the installation package, but if you are experiencing problems you can download the test version of the dll and xml files [test_key.zip, 268Kb] which includes the hot key (de) activation function:

Once downloaded unzip and place these files in the folder where the toolbar is installed (they replace the dll and xml files that are currently there). Be sure that you have all instances of IE shut as you will not be able to overwrite the dll file with any IE windows open. Now when you open up IE in the toolbar options menu you will be able to turn on/off hot keys.
Note: The update function has been disabled in the test version.
The test version is the English language version only. It will not cause a problem to overwrite other language versions.

  (More on) the Toolbar and XP SP2 It appears that Toolbar "Tools > View Source" function no longer works when SP2 is installed, we will investigate this and either modify or remove the function for the next release. Sorry for the inconvenience........   - posted by steve faulkner @ 4:34 pm, (More on) the Toolbar and XP SP2: permanent link 0 comments

  The Toolbar and XP service pack 2 Users have reported that the toolbar stops working or malfunctions when XP service pack 2 is installed.

"I thought that you might like to know there is a small issue for users who use the toolbar and upgrade to Windows XP SP2. The problem is small, and no doubt could be fixed by fiddling about in the Registry. However, post SP2 when you click on 'View Source' on the 'Tools' menu IE reports that the site cannot be found. The right click normal route still works."

I will look into this........
A user has also reported:

"The toolbar Appeared on my computer to be disabled by the install of XP service pack 2. Am I alone? "

Then they wrote again:

"Re-installed with the latest version fixed the problem. (Was using 1.0 before SP2 upgrade)"

So if you are having issues after installing SP2 try uninstalling/re-installing the toolbar.   - posted by steve faulkner @ 5:39 pm, The Toolbar and XP service pack 2: permanent link 0 comments

  Suddenly the toolbar started throwing errors... On Friday (3/10/04) I did a bad thing; I deleted all the toolbar related files from the server, this would have had a temporary detrimental effect upon all versions of the toolbar, being used on friday afternoon. I quickly sorted out the problem, sorry for the inconveneince..........   - posted by steve faulkner @ 5:33 pm, Suddenly the toolbar started throwing errors...: permanent link 0 comments
