Unable to Invoke Proxomitron Menu

[bmh]

I am unable to see the Proxomitron Menu (the one with the Smart WhoAmI button, for example). I understand that if I move the cursor to the top left hand corner of the web page that I am currently browsing or if I left-click on that webpage, a circle with a triangle inside it should appear. Well, I can't see it. I am using the 4.5-j version straight (with no UI changes or additional scripts). I also tried it with the ProxiPatcher GUI applied and with sidki's scripts. I have tried this with IE7, IE6 and Fiefox 2.0. I am am running Windows XP Professional with all available updates applied. I have turned off all pop-up blockers and even my firewall (after disconnecting from the Web). I know that am "going through" the Proxomitron http server because I get the page "Host Name Lookup Failed. The Proxomitron couldn't find the site named ..." when I am disconnected from the Net.

Does the Proxomitron Menu require to be enabled in some way or am I misunderstanding what I should do to cause the menu to appear?

Thank you in advance for any help with this matter.

You need to add and load sidki's cfg (Config file).

Thank you. That fixed it for when I am using Firefox 2.0.

Further info which might be useful to IE7 users experiencing similar problems to mine follows:

I tried running the Proxomitron with the config file sidki_2006-09-03.ptron with and without the 2006-10-15 updates with and without work-in-progress filters of 2006-11-17.

With Firefox 2.0, everything seems to work fine but with IE 7.0.5730.11, it does not work properly for the majority of the pages I have tried. For example:

Real Clear Politics( http://www.realclearpolitics.com ) - The icon does not appear at all (or if it does I cannot see it amongst the page content).

Washington Post( http://www.washingtonpost.com ): Icon only appears if you scroll down to the bottom of the page before left clicking and then icon appears in the bottom left-hand corner instead of the bottom right-hand corner.

New York Times ( http://www.nytimes.com ): Works properly.

I will send this info to sidki via the e-mail link on his web page.

Works for me in IE6. I don't think sidki has IE7 either.
