ProxRocks Wrote:.ptron in startup?Why not? The one Mozerd appears to use is Code: C:\Proxo\PROXOM~1.EXE sidki_2006-01-09.ptron You may need to change the path to the EXE. ProxRocks Wrote:i don't have the .ptron extension "registered"...Shouldn't matter. The info is for Proxomitron. But we are looking for a hiccup.

The Proxomitron is now filtering all the crap out of the sites I like it to go too. and a little later mozerd Wrote:Bad news -- my problem has retuned ???What happens if you don't toggle between "Don't use textures" and "Always use textures etc"? Stay in "Don't use textures". Time for the compatability wizard? |

when the problem returned, were the textures reintroduced?
or is "Don't use textures" check-marked? (and "Always use textures, .." NOT check-marked...) i've actually seen Windows hiccup on several apps due to image-related "backgrounds"... although the vast majority of those times is when the "Display Properties" is adjusted to anything but the 'normal' 96 DPI setting (especially any 'custom' setting outside of 96 or 120)... |

I'm back to square one where the proxo is ineffective in filtering out the crap regardless. Wish I understood --- why --- the proxo returned to normal for me after I applied ProxRocks suggestion ---then --- after a very brief period inexplicably fails to work again. |

i've placed the .exe .ptron shortcut in startup and everything loads up fine...
have rebooted several times and with each time, everything loads up and filters as expected, never 'dropping out'... here's an interesting observation though... when i run "my" Proxo, it runs without question... when i run "your" Proxo, Windows throws up a publisher could not be verified Security Warning, Run or Cancel... perhaps you may need to re-download the ORIGINAL Proxo and re-patch with Henk's 4.0... have you attempted any RWIN patches on "your" Proxo that may have 'invalidated' the "publisher verification"? |

ProxRocks Wrote:when i run "your" Proxo, Windows throws up a publisher could not be verified Security Warning, Run or Cancel...I have not seen the security warning you make mention off. Yes I have optimized my RWIN settings to accommodate my cable broadband capabilities ... but I have been doing that for a long time without any impact [that I am aware off] to proxo in the past --- my problems started in February of 2006. I use SG TCP Optimize and my TCP Receive Window settings is currently set at 256960 What are the optimal RWIN settings for Proxo in your situation? Insofar as getting a fresh copy of Proxo and the patchesr --- I've done that and the outcome is the same. |

hmmm...
i'm actually running the RWIN patch here also without any problems whatsoever... but where yours simply says v4.5j + p4.0, mine says v4.5j + p4.0 + RWIN... regardless, we can rule that out by the sounds of it... it seems to me that all roads are actually steering us *AWAY* from Proxo... something else only common to each and every one of your computers is causing the issue, or so it seems... not sure what the next step is from here... |

i just believe that if one is to 'patch' another person's work, there should be "some" sort of 'notation' written into the patched outcome saying, "hey, this is no longer OEM, Henk did the p4.0, and i did the RWIN"...
that's actually why "public" RWIN patchers have been removed from various download sites - because the patches made no effort to mark any 'distinguishing' notations in the outputted file... and thereby 'falsely advertising' as being OEM and of Scott's making, in essence... but all that's beside the point... let's see if that fresh install holds... |

OK the Proxo stopped filtering as soon as I opened another instance of IE 6 ... this is the 1st time that I have paid attention to this behavior. So the 2nd instance of the browser set something off ???
[edit] just a FYI, I normally have 3 to 4 instances of IE open at any given time ... where each instance is looking at different web sites. This time I was being very attentive and as soon as that 2nd instance opened up the filtering stopped .... when I switched [alt-tab] to the 1st instance of IE and did a refresh that page also now revealed the crap. |

mozerd Wrote:OK the Proxo stopped filtering as soon as I opened another instance of IE 6 ...ah, now that IS interesting... let me see if i can replicate it on this end - be back shortly... follow-up: by instance, do you mean a CTRL-N to open a new window? if so, i opened up six IE6 windows and browsed in all six... None of the six stopped filtering... although, even though i wasn't able to replicate it, i think this observance may be our best lead yet... |

is it specific web sites that tend to stop filtering?
does the filtering stop only *after* a certain web site is hit? |
