Webresearch
hkay:
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 understand why you took interest in the old thread, 'Check&Get or Power Favorites or Linkman' - maybe you will have go further up that road.
My *guess* would be that you've updated Internet Explorer 7, you have no IE 8 (?), while Web Research hasn't been updated for almost 2½ years... Has even their support died?
Previous Versions of Internet Explorer
Edited:
Oh, now I see, they have merely missed to update the text on some of their pages: The program is updated for both IE8 and Win7. Sorry, I didn't realize that, before.
Your version is version 3, right?
:tellme:

Hi. Have you tried contacting Webresearch tech support? I had occasion to write to them a few months ago, and I got a prompt and helpful response. The address I used was simply [email protected] .

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.
Curt:
the browser side of the problem may easily be checked if you install a version from another company, say, Maxthon. Version 2 is like IE8 and version 1.6 is like IE7.
