Phil,

Thanks for the quick response. I ALMOST want to go back to work to have at it…. but tomorrow will do. I recall your post re: the stubborn word issues and have made certain I have saved it this time.

Also, I found this link http://www.robinupton.com/computer/softwar…st_toolbar.html%5B/url%5D and would be interested in your observations.

I am not running classic. I am running “Start Menu” with several pinned apps but the recently used programs have dropped off the menu.

I just used gpedit.msc and nothing was “configured” to be “enabled”. I just “disabled” the Policy:Remove frequent programs list from the Start Menu
Description:Removes the frequently-used programs list from the Start menu to see if I could jolt the system back to previous setting. There was no registry value as described in MS KB article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?…B;EN-US;Q292504
(Registry Value:”NoStartMenuMFUprogramsList”)

Installing the suggested program Alternatiff has eliminated the need to go through the “file save as” routine and restored the ability of the group to simply display the TIFF images.

Thanks to all who provided suggestions.

Please explain your statement.

I was thanking you for the suggestion and being light hearted about not being at work to dive in to the task.

The Epson LQ2180 built in XP driver has a tab for device settings on which the tractor feed form to tray is configured. This field provides many options but not a custom paper or form size to match the client needs for 3 1/2 inch X 7 inch.

Thanks for the url.

Thank you for the suggestions and the helpful detail.

Makes me want to hustle back to work and muck about with someone else’s PC.
Hah….

Thank you for the pointers. I will poke around as well as bang on the Fed’s door with more vigor.

This really is not a solution since we can display the TIFF files whenever we double click them. The issue is what in the IE 5.5 SP2 has changed the behavior of the Fed software since the clients used to click on a button within the Fed software to display the files. Now the result is a “file save as” dialog which is not the desired result.

We don’t need another utility to display the files since the default Wang image utility works fine when we double click TIFFs.

We need to revert the behavior of IE 5.5 to the way it was prior to the SP2 upgrade.

Have submitted this issue to the contact at the Minnesota Federal Reserve and asked if they have seen this and would the MS KB article you referenced point to the issue we have encountered.

Thanks,

None of the NT boxes have “Confirm Open After Download” checked. All have “Enable Quick View” checked but changing any of these settings makes no difference.

Have submitted this to the Fed rep at the Minnesota Federal Reserve who has been out contact hoping that they have seen this before.

Will see what happens on Tuesday when I return from a pager free long weekend drive through New England… no keyboards, monitors, phones or nuthin’.

I will ask the department to confirm this but I do not believe there is such a feature. Usually this type of question appears when the browser is warning you of a potential security issue or providing some sort of caution. However, this is not the typical screen since it has already at the “file save as” screen with no other panels or menus in advance of the file save as box.

As I stated in the original post the web based Fed software displayed the images of the checks, etc. without going through the “file save as” process. The images were never downloaded they were simply displayed on screen without any user intervention. That is the behavior desired. Only after the SP2 upgrade to IE 5.5 did the whole process get mucked up with the “file save as” step.

Users of the software searched for account information, called up the pertinent record and when they clicked on a button within the Fed software the image appeared, end of story. No “file save as”.

It is as if the SP2 upgrade is treating the TIFF images as potentially bad boys that will only be downloaded prior to viewing.

The Wang image application on the NT boxes is still showing correctly in the file type and “open” is the default action for this type of file and they do open when double clicked. But that is not something we were doing to display these files previous to the SP2 upgrade.

Thanks.

We are using DHCP internally but we could request a static IP.

I will look into this further and prompt the real gurus to check as well.

Thanks again everyone for the pointed questions and suggestions.
