I am still having problems with the LOAD and SAVE AS features.
Still haven't figured out the load/save buttons issue. But it's quite possible it's a third-party IE plug-in or some type of malware (as possible as anything at this point, I suppose) that is causing the issue.
And now, I was running a tournament last night and it kept crashing. It would come up saying:
MICROSOFT HTML APPLICATION IS NOT RESPONDING
I was hoping that maybe the Beta format would fix the problem.
Any suggestions?
This likely means one of two things: (a) you've hit upon some bad code in the TD, or (b) IE is fudged in some way. (a) has a low likelihood, but not impossible. It's unlikely not because there aren't bugs in the software, but because the type of bug that would cause this (an infinite loop) shouldn't be possible because the host application (MS HTML Application) should catch that and prevent it. However, it's recently become clear to me that it doesn't
*always* catch those. In fact, I've found and fixed one instance of this in the upcoming version 3.2 (a bug that has been around since version 2.x), so it's possible you've run into the same or similar issue, but I think the possibility is pretty low. Usually when the host application hangs in this way something else is hosed.
I would uninstall and/or reinstall IE. I would also uninstall any toolbars or other IE plug-ins that you might have installed. And I would also look on the "Programs and Features" control panel applet and look for anything that looks like an IE plug-in or extension and remove it (if possible). One thing I noticed recently for someone else who had this issue was something called "BrowserProtect" and "Delta Toolbar". I don't know if either of these cause this issue, but when you Google either one and the first 3 pages of results are about how to remove them, you know they are not good for your PC. So I would look for things like that. And I would also run a virus scan.
I have no idea if any of these things will help, but it's a place to start.
Maybe I'm missing it but I'm looking to see where I can download the Beta format.
The latest beta is listed in this topic. Here a link back to the topic itself:
