does anyone else have a problem when they get a PM? whenever the little 'inbox' turns green, it freezes up IE and i have to close the window and come back to tdub again OR it just lags my computer to pieces. i didn't know if anyone ever had this problem? could it be the script, or it it just my PC?

you tried turning sounds off? i think a sound is embedded by default...

My computer did the same thing until I turned the sound off.

Yeah, the sound is done via an ActiveX script. When I use IE, since I have them set to always prompt before running, it asks me before loading the page so I'll chose to listen to the sound or not.

PS, if you do this, you don't hear those annoying flash songs in threads that you can't stop, unless you allow them to load. Very nice! No more I like to move it move it or peanut butter jelly time!

In IE 6.0:

Tools, Internet Options, Security Tab, Custom Level...

Mark everything that is ActiveX related to prompt. Then everytime it comes to an embedded sound, activex embedded ad, etc, it will prompt you and just hit enter to say no. It cuts down on some types of ads as well....

While you're at it disable the pop-ups too...

so what do i need to do if i want to hear the sounds? i've got them turned off right now, since they just kill i.e. anyways.

i think it is an issue with winxp sp1. it happens to me too with sounds on.

4/26/2003 10:22:47 AM

I have XP SP1 though and have no problems hearing the sounds, when I had them on that is.

4/26/2003 12:29:03 PM

i got sp1 too and it works great... hmmm
