georgeberz Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Im having a problem with vista/macro express when I use the command to open a website 2 pages open up open at the same time one first a blank page then the requested page, the blank page always is connecting and never does anything, this is very annoying... Any Ideas? George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I am running Vista and this does not happen. I think you may have some adware or something else going on with your machine. This is not normal Vista/ME behavior. Are you using IE7? How are your settings configured for opening new web pages, do they open in a new window or to a tab? Do you have tabbed browsing enabled even? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeberz Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I do support for others via remote management with www.logmein.com When you open a webpage normally in vista with IE7 and click on the IE icon it opens up only 1 page as it shoud and goes to your default page in IE. When you have ME current release open a website it opens 2 pages one blank that constantly says connecting and the other that goes where you want to go. I have notices this on EVERY vista system my customers have installed ME on, It has to be a default setting somepleace in vista. I dont recall about tabbed browsing or not, whatever ie is set up by default to do. which is tabbed browsing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I just ran a couple of tests on Vista Ultimate on two different machines and could not replicate your complaint. So it's not inherent with Vista, it has to be environmental. Something is different on those machines. Are the websites secure? I know IE7 will open a separate window when in a different zone. For instance if you have a web page open that’s in the trusted sites list and open a page that is in the “Internet Zone” it will open to another page. Maybe one of the pages is a redirect. Give me the web address and let me try it on my machine. Does logmein work from a web portal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeberz Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ok so here is the site https://post.craigslist.org/fre/S/car/none/x I am thinking mabye it has to do with the securities settings in ie7??? site settings, that sounds like a possible situation, as It only happens on like 1/2 of my installations, and I never thought of that... and we are opening up a https session... but I use ie7 on xp all the time and never this problems.... Another use above has the exact same problems where a 2nd window pops up and neverending connecting is displayed and the blue bar makes it look like it actually is trying to go somewhere but never actually does.

kevin Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 What version of Macro Express are you using? Versions prior to v 3.7a did not play well with Vista. Macro Express v 3.7b was release yesterday. As always, you can download the latest version of Macro Express from www.macros.com/download.htm.
