found this in "exception.txt" - I guess since I'm using .2.1 this plugin won't be supported anyways..

Oddly enough, if I make sure to access... www.msn.com at the very first page, it seems to be much happier.

For example, if I load the browser, and go to www.team-mediaportal.com - it will crash, but if I go to www.msn.com and then www.team-mediaportal.com - it will work!

I wonder if there is some module or plugin being loaded.. does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Web browser not working in 2.1.0. In previous version 2.0.4 worked fine after installing support files (Mozilla ActiveX Control). In current version dont work.

As stated above, I actually have it working on .2.1.0 - asside from the fact that it is slitghly unstable - which I suspect it would be even on .2.0.4.

I also have it working... but there is virtually no functionality that I can see. It simply opens the main page but there is no url bar and no back/forward buttons. There is also no favorites of any kind.

Does this sound normal?

Doesnt work anymore in 2.1.0.

After fresh install still have only black screen with "missing or invalid file" message.

In .2.1.0 I have the top bar using at least the mepo skin... using the top bar I can navigate forwards and backwards, enter a url, or go to the home page, or go to my favourites list (you configure your favourites and homepage in the plugins section of mp configuration).

as I said, if I make sure to navigate to ww.msn.com first, I can get pretty good functionality out of it..

stanik - do you have any error messages when you start MP or when you start the MP config? I bet your are missing a dll for the mozilla thing... search for how people got it to work for .2.0.4

 

[stanik]

Yes I have mozila files and Mozila ActiveX instaled. This was required for 2.0.4 also. After upgrade to 2.1.0 doesnt work.
I tryied fresh install and 2.1.0 with mozilla files and web browser plugin, but doesnt work also.
Bad Luck
