Streamerp2p Forum

Apologies for posting here but it's difficult to know where to post this.
I noticed recently, at home and at work that the station view isn't working on any station I tune to!
I don't believe it's a bug within Streamer as it has just started happening.
When you tune a station and station view comes up, you just get the html code and not the browser view that you would expect.
Screen shot here,

Is it a server issue?
Apologies to KMeat.

Streamer uses Internet Explorer's display code to do the view display. This doesn't work for some earlier versions of IE, it crashes. If it crashes, Streamer handles the crash, and just displays the raw html instead.
So it can happen either because of having an old-ish IE installed, or the installed IE is broken.
What OS and IE are you using?

Hi Iain, The Pc at home is running XP home SP2 all latest updates.
The PC at work is running XP Pro SP2 all latest updates.
The only thing that they have in common is that they both had IE 7 on them, which was removed because of problems it was causing to some other software. So they are both running IE6, I've re-installed IE6 on both PCs and the needed updates but no change. There was never any problem on either until IE 7 was uninstalled.
Interestingly my laptop which has never had IE 7 on displays ok.
Looks like an association bug or something to do with what ever IE 7 has left on the PCs.
I won't be installing IE 7 again to prove the point as on the PC at home it stops MMJB running, then again I could live with that I suppose.
I wouldn't mind but I only use Firefox any way.

Sounds like it's IE7 failing to uninstall itself properly, or IE6 failing to install properly over the wreckage of IE7.

IE is boobytrapped to break lots of things if you ever remove it, it is effectively part of the OS with hooks very deep, M$ don't want you removing it. And with the way M$ write things all interconnected it is probably impossible for even M$ to remove it cleanly.

I removed it once from w95, and even though it is supposed to be a web browser, it changed the way desktop windows worked, even though they are local file views and not html web pages.

Well I know what the problem is now.
All associations to applications have been wiped clean, clicking on links etc doesn't work, applications don't launch when clicking on files blah de blah.
System restore cured it on the work PC but not on the home one.
It'll take forever to restore the associations manually, so I'm going for a clean re-install. Pain really as this is the PC with my remote radio web server on it. If I back up all the config files I should be OK.
I suppose it needs to be done anyway as over the last year I've tried lot of crap programmes on it, so a fresh start would be prudent.
IE7, Gates can stuff it!
