Update to v2.10.6 kills popups

Hello-- I had been running version 2.10.0 with no problems until the MySpace thing happened earlier this week. I'm now running v 2.10.6 and am getting popup errors. For instance, a patron in Yahoo Games reports that the error suggests that "popup blocker is on." I run the iniupdate utility...

MySpace Blues

Hello-- This morning we're seeing PWB 2.10.0 crash whenever a patron goes to www.myspace.com. The error is "PWB has encountered an MFC error and needs to close." This also happens when Fortres is unloaded. MSIE 7 does not crash. Any guess as to what's up? Maybe I need to upgrade. Thanks --...

Access Denied?

Hello-- I'm using the url.txt file to allow only those sites I've added. Generally, this works well. However, when I attempt to email the results of an ebscohost search to myself (usually a pdf), I get the "access denied" window, but the email form does come up. When I go to transmit the f...

Hello--

Will the iniupdate utility work with pwb 2.10? I see that instructions say only to 2.09.

Thanks!

Upgrade Woes

Hello-- There is probably a simple fix to this problem, but I'm stumped. I've just upgraded from PWB 2.05 to 2.09. It looks good, with one problem: Whenever I launch, using a shortcut to the pwb.exe on the server, I get the Microsoft warning box that says, "Open-File Security Warning" I de...

CIPA Compliance?

I'm looking for a cheap filter that will get us in compliance with CIPA. I'm thinking that using a noaccess list with Public Browser might do that. Is this a worthwhile idea? Is anyone else working on it? It looks like coming up with a good list is the key. (duh!)
