I am using their latest verision - Webresearch 3 Professional.  I had written to macropool and received a prompt reply with some suggestions which i have done.  In the entire history of this product they had about 10 reports of this issue.

In 80% of the cases reported, a defective Internet Explorer was cause of the problem. In 20%, a security software blocked access to the Internet Explorer interfaces. They feel that this could be a cause. One additional cause they say could be that my computer is spyware infected

I am still on IE 7.

I have been using Webresearch for years.  All of a sudden it started giving me problems.  It says that Webresearch cannot communicate with Internet Explorer. Please restart Windows.  If the problem persists please reinstall Internet Explorer.

I have tried all these and still of no avail.  Would appreciate any help on this.  In the last week i had installed scrapbook and a few other addons including webresearch for firefox, and a couple of translation software.  I have delelted all these.

Thanks

I was wondering if there is a possibility that Linkman searches my entire drives and collects all existing IE, firefox bookmarks and eliminates duplicates.

I am carrying quite a lot in too many backup directories and this would help.

thanks

Just wanted to give an update - i installed Check & Get, link commander and linkman.  Check & Get is definitely not a true bookmark manager (that is how i felt).  Link commander was very impressive to me - liked the screen and the layout.  I have not explored much but between link commander and linkman i found a key difference in the search capabilities.

For eg., i would be able to search for "go and eng" which will dish out google engine (whether these are part of the folder or contents) but i did not find this in Link Commander.  Has anyone compared the search capabilities between the two?  Are there any other key points of difference?

Thanks

Thanks Darwin for your instantaneous reply. Yeh, i wanted to mark a link or probably an entire category as Hot. I have quite a lot of links bookmarked from a number of years lying scattered in various places and i have decided it is time to get organized.

I did not want to have too many programs doing the same thing - that was the rationale behind the topic.  I will definitely take a look at the website watcher that you mentioned.  I am looking for key differences between the three.  At this point i am not sure whether just one of them would satisfy the requirement of bookmark organizing and also keeping track of websites and maintaing a stored image of the webpage. I am sure that would be the best combination to have though.

Hi everyone,

I have looked at the threads regarding bookmark organizers and have found the three names in the subject line being talked about highly.  However, there has been no comparison between the three.

I would appreciate feedback from someone who has looked at all the three and what they think is on top. One thing that appealed to me about Check&Get was the ability to maintain images of web-pages; i am not sure whether this is available in the other two.  I use Webresearch for saving web-pages, but however have not tried it for bookmark organizing (probably it was not meant for that). Again, on of them has a option to make favourites HOT, which could be valubale. 

I have been a silent visitor of this site for a few years and have really appreciated the expert discsussions here - this is the first time i thought i would participate in the forum.  I would request the moderator to feel free to shift this topic to any other rightful place if necessary.

FYI, i am not using any bookmark organizer currently and am looking for your feedback before i go for one.

Thanks in advance
