    [Workaround] Vista, IE7, & ATT 1.3.6.1041 Don't Get Along

    Workaround found! Read the 7th post on how to disable Protected Mode in IE7.

    ATT 1.3.6.1041 causes IE7 on Vista to slow to a crawl when ATT is running. As soon as ATT is exited then IE7 will function as normal. I'm also noticing this same problem with Xfire. Does ATT use IE7 components to display things i.e. the Urlmon.dll file?

    No problems on my Vista. Do you have installed any strange plugins for IE? :)

    I don't think so and I've tried the Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) under Accessories | System Tools but the problem still persists. I have noticed in Xfire that if you right click a friend to view their profile, IE7 will pop up and function as normal.

    No, what I mean is that they both cause the same problem when they are run independently with IE7. Xfire team said they found out what was causing the problem and said as a workaround to open Xfire first then IE7 after a reboot; that still didn't work. I found that info from the first post in this thread.

    That Sounds strange for me because I use IE (sometimes :) ) and have no issues at all.

    Workaround!

    I got it! If you disable Protected Mode in IE7, ATT 1.3.6.1041 will not cause IE7 on Vista to slow to a crawl when ATT is running anymore. This also fixes the issue with Xfire!

    To disable: Tools | Internet Options | Security Tab | Untick "Enable Protected Mode"

    Protected Mode as given by Windows Help and Support is

    That is not really a workaround. It would be the same when I have to disable firewall and virus protection to get ATT to work. I will not disable Protected Mode. There has to be a fix for this in ATT!

    Traytools slows down IE7 under vista

    I am using TT 1.3.6.1044 with Vista premium and IE7. Video card is a 1950XTX. IE7 slows down to a crawl when TT is loaded. Its fine when its not loaded. For example the favorites window takes 25 seconds to display if TT is loaded, only 1.5 seconds if it is not. TABs are much slower as well. Firefox is not affected. I dont want to turn off protected mode either.

    Neither do I, but for now it's the only thing that is working for me. Maybe Ray has some ideas...

    I have no ideas. First because I use FireFox and second because I don't have any problems with IE at all.

    I guess once Xfire solves the problem with their application a similar fix could be available for ATT because both apps are experiencing the same problem.

    Hmm. After enabling this stupid UAC I got this slow IE7 :)
    And it seems that I found solution. At least its works for me with UAC and Protection mode enabled. Tomorrow I will uploaded new beat version.

    What do you think about it? How it can be fixed on your computer if you will not install new build? :) :)
