This may be a FARR bug.. because the text in the statusbar shows that basically it's not still "searching", so i think what's happened is that the plugin is returning no results so the result should be blank, but farr is still showing the results from the previous search for "tab do".

 (see attachment in previous post)

That's really strange. That is the bug I fixed.
Are you sure it is the latest version? Does it say 1.11 in version manager?

Mouser: It might be a FARR bug in a way too but it should be fixed from the in the latest version.
This occurs when the SearchState says "Items" but the Count is 0.

Even though I tell that the search "Stopped", FARR still shows as it is still searching.

I can't install this plugin on Vista 64-bit :(
I have a folder \FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FARRAltTab\ and 4 files in it

The file list looks fine. Anyone else has Vista 64 and has the plugin working or not working?

Could it be a .NET framework issue? How to check if you have .NET framework
Do you see inside of Framework directory a folder named v2.0.50727? Link to get .NET 2
Do you get any error message boxes when you start FARR?

It sounds strange to me :(

New version 1.15: Now shows all the Windows, including those that were previously skipped (liked iTunes) also, shows all the open Windows and does not limit to 9 as before
I think by now it is completely viable windows alt+Tab replacement.

If you notice any window that doesn't show on AltTab but should (or hidden window that shouldn't), let me know - it might happen.

That's really.... What's your FARR version?
I guess you were able to upgrade to the latest version and you see more than 9 items?

Something is really wrong here.

Yes, I have v2.0.50727  8)

Now, the situation is even more complicated  :tellme: I have installed the plugin to another computer and it work fine. The only difference is that the computer which doesn't work is on network with domain (I'm logged as user with administrator privilegies) and the other doesn't.

I also reinstall FARR and remove all plugins and configuration folders, but it still doesn't work  :-\

Hmm. At work I have a computer connected to the network with a domain and still it works fine.
The other thing you say though - lack of administrator permissions. That could be the problem. I'll have to check it on another computer with regular user account.

I am running computer with administrator permission.
I also have turned off User Account Control (UAC).

It shows every installed plug-ins except this.

ok well if it shows all but farralttab then i'm guessing it has to do with farralttab being .net.. but still dont know why.

zajc: What about .net security configuration?
In .NET you can restrict access of managed code to certain places.
Can you run .NET application under your computer? Is FARR on your local disc?

I wish I could remote debug over internet =\

I am able to run Paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net/) which is using .NET Framework 2.0 according to their site.

I attached picture to show my .NET folders (32 & 64-bit folders).

Well :-[ it doesn't work well in XP also (.net framework v2.0.50727_32).
When I log my computer into company's domain it doesn't work :o

I suspect it has something with "group policy"  (mmc->Group Policy Object...) which is inherited from the server machine when I log in. The only question is which security rule :tellme:

Are there any event logs in the Application/Security log?

NULL, 0  :-\

I check everything, I also monitored FindAndRunRobot.exe with Filemon.exe, and the result was NULL (everything FindAndRunRobot.exe accessed was OK)... I really wonder what kind of security rule applied to my system  :tellme:

I also checked FARRAltTab.dll and FARRPluginRCW.dll (I attached printscreen) and everything almost looks OK (except NOT FOUND messages).

Sorry dude, it does look fine :(
I really have no idea.

Are you able to debug it? I could assist you there.

I had to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) (http://www.microsoft...7&displaylang=en) because I had this error appearing in my event viewer:

Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.MFC. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.
Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

I have according to my Add/Remove Programs .Net 2 and .Net 3 installed on my computer on a freshly installed xp system, which was modified with nLite.

Yep everything is working fine now. Forgot to add this is the other error in the event viewer that I had prior to installing the package: Generate Activation Context failed for D:\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FARRAltTab\FARRPluginRCW.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.

dont get any errors either but no plugin either
so
maybe I should try this
I had to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) (http://www.microsoft...7&displaylang=en)
says there:
for "a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2005 installed." - I didnt install it so guess it's not there - just did a search - no visual so will try that...

[edit] just checked my mail vitaly - you recommending the same  :D
