New Spotlight clone

Here is a problem I am having:

When the program tries to initiate the search, google returns a page with no results saying "Your browser is unsupported, click here to use this browser anyway". I thought I put in the correct code to automatically initiate this link and create the needed cookie on your system, telling google it's ok to use the browser.

I appears to not be working so I am investigating further, but that's where the problem lies right now

does anyone know where internet explorer keeps the cookies on the hd so I can analyze them?

#286043

also, the extension is dvr-ms,not dur-ms ;)

#286045

I found a cookie called Admin@google in my Documents and SettingsAdminCookies folder

I don't know how these things work, or if this is even the one that does it, but I am going to try deleting it to see what happens

#286050

#286052

uhuh great. don't tell any of us what you've done though

I really think Tom's making SUCH BIG EYES, if he read's this post - it's able to work ... hmm, maybe they've got the same google - code :P

#286054

screens plz :)

#286055

focus on the "i've" in that post...

#286058

My google IP thing reads ";http://localhost:4664" maybe you should change it so that it is localhost rather than a specific IP?

#286063

It is strange because the preferences is able to retain your maximum results per group, just not your security code. At least for me.

#286064

Component 'MSINET.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

im getting that error when trying to run spotlight.exe both on a windows 2000 and a windows XP sp2 machines. what might be causing that? am i missing an update or something?

#286075

no. sorrry. i think i spoke to soon. the picture loads, and i can type in words, but it doent find any results for the document or html that i searched for

#286076

roycifer go back to the 3rd page a read it. the ink for the missing file is somewhere in there.

#286077

my bad. thanks sacas!

#286084

Tom, the url that you paste the security code in has a space right after the code. Maybe that is the problem?

#286087

ok so heres what i got...

win xp sp2: spotlight did not ask to set preferences upon first run. the spotlight box appears on the top right of my screen but i am unable to enter text. clicking anywhere on the spotlight box generates an error beep.

win 2000: spotlight preferences ran upon initial startup. i entered in my security code. applied settings. i was able to enter text, but like sacas, it did not produce any results anywhere (although the little "searching" animation was spinning). ADD: actually i was just able to produce results but since i moved the spotlight box to the bottom right of my screen, i couldnt see all the results. doh!

#286089

can anyone host this???

the new file is 1.99mb, it has an installer packaged with all the required files

#286095

??? u produced results? is this only working on win 2000? i use win xp sp2, but im not having the same problems your'e having.

#286096

I need someone to host a file for me, or tell me where I can host a file easily for download

#286097

try geocities- itz free if you have a yahoo id

#286098

@TomLapp420: i think i might be able to host it (at least temporarily). ill pm you.

@sacas: actually im not 100% positive. all i see is "show all" and not sure whats below that (the box grows beyond the bottom of my screen).

#286103

I just opened a geocities account and uploaded the file, I can't find anything on there about downloading it

#286104

whats the geocities URL and the filename that you uploaded? if you want me to host, drop me a pm. or you can try yousendit.com (email it to yourself and post the link).
