TDS Scripting

[Mr.Blaze]

;D I know alot of you newbs arnt familiar with this

but tds has a thing called scripting really cool but i think kinda hard to understand


i know jooskey will look at this so if your reading this can you show me how to call my ms agent WIZARD

and start reading some of that stuff tds puts out


for those newbs with no clue to what an ms agent is lol

its usealy that little guy like in microsoft wor office assistant

that little guy can also work with tds

so if you reading this and maybe have time can you give me a run dowen on tds scripting with ms agents for tds

wow just saying it sound complicated lol

[Jooske]

Call MSAgentForm.LoadMSAgent("Wizard", SysVar("sys.windowsdirectory") & "\msagent\chars\Wizard.acs")
MSAgentForm.AgentControl "Show"

In case you have the msagent overthere; you might like to put a copy of wizard.acs in that default msagent\chars folder
Wizard is the MSOffice copy of Merlin, and has no voice options, while Merlin has, so in case of speech, you might like to use Merlin better.

I wished the msagent was called in the original old way, in which all it's functions would work easily in ss3 scripts as well including voice commands, or maybe the developers can find out if adding the <OBJECT> tags as an option solves that part (hope that could be a solution)

[Mr.Blaze]

;D hi thank you im going to try that ok

[Jooske]

Mind the wrapped line: the second line belongs behind the first line with just one space after the &

It must be in your Blaze script too!
You can replace the name with any of the msagents characters you have in the chars folder.

[Mr.Blaze]

:-[ HI Jooske i couldnt get the script to run ummmmmmm you wouldnt have a small tutorial laying abouts somewhere with tds and scripting with ms agents would you?

this is so embarresing i thoght i could wing this lol

[Jooske]

How about taking your Blaze script, drag it to notepad and look at those lines in it.
With the first two lines (again: mind the line wrap and make sure the second part of the code above is pasted behind the first line) you should have your agent appearing if he is in that Chars folder; your wizard.acs file either copy him there or hunt for him and write the whole path to him in the script.

Call MSAgentForm.LoadMSAgent("Wizard", "Wizard.acs")
MSAgentForm.AgentControl "Show"
is possible if he is in the default folder.


If you post with the "code" tags in the DCS forum you won't get those line wraps, btw.

[Jooske]

I helped out two people with serious problems on their systems by installing TDS on their systems (eval) and scan out the whole stuff there.
Noticed the scripts examples don't ship with the new 5mb TDS install. Will registered users be able to get them somehow/somewhere?
I've no access to their computers this moment to see if the examples are there but just can't be loaded in an eval version.
So in case of uninstall and install this updated TDS version, i'd make sure first to keep your Scripts folder safe just in case and copy the scripts back afterwards.

[Mr.Blaze]

;DHI Jooske BIG BIG HUG ok i will study the scripts you sent me and this time i promise i stick with it.

I dont think ill ever be able to make my owen cool charcter but i can surely get the most out of the ones we have.

MS Agents are so cool

Most people can never aprechiate them because they dont know what they do

but heres an example there like your owen little pc pets

but way more funer everything from voice control to dictation to just cheer you up when your dowen

they give your pc personality

[Jooske]

I think you could create a little script enabling some friendly sayings, jokes, with or without an agent and a timer.
For instance
speak "hello|sentence2|sentence3|sentence4"
will speak ad random one of those 4 sentences, so you'll need a timer script, of which an example might have been posted in the private forum for scripting, and have them connected.
Combine it with an agent if you like to see something too.
You can first call your agent, make him show, speak something nice, and your timer might have him speak at randum something else.
You might like the agent to hide after that, so the show - speak - hide can be in your timer script.
You might like to use some of the agents like Merlin, Peedy, Genie who have lots of animations in their waiting state between your commands.

[Mr.Blaze]

:ooh wait cool you mean so i can have the little guy pop up every so often

that be cool

[Jooske]

I just posted in the private forum in scripting a way to use your $3,000 computer as a $3 talking clock, but it still has an error to be corrected.
It is a way, but the purpose you have would be a timer script in which the agent is called up to show and speak something;
for instance in case time is a certain hour the agent speaks that time, and at times between speak other stuff, or tell a joke, etc.
In the current situation only with a smart workaround you can have the agents voice commanded from TDS.
For instance, if you go to the MSagent site at MS, in the samples, look in the source after loading such a sample script and you'll see the <OBJECT> tags necessary to load those voice command and a few other functionallities, if you go after to TDS and load an msagent script, the agent will have those same possibilities! No matter which character you change to, till you unload the character or agentsvr or reboot.
So i hope the <OBJECT> tags will be able to be included in TDS scripting possibilities to do it at once.
The other way i used in the CokeMachine script by making an EXE and call that one via TDS scripts.
You might like to use the new MASH for creating EXE or HTML or other scripts to run via another script from TDS.

There can be done millions of things with the scripting, but i think it's nicer to keep the scripting discussions in the TDS private forum to keep them all handy together, easier finding them back afterwards.

[Open Source]

hmmmmmmm

[Jooske]

Blaze found a SS3 script sample telling current time in his mailbox by now.

[Pilli]

Jooske, Don't spoil the boy :P

[Jooske]

You see more or less the same in the private forum, although i joined the two scripts together and made some little changes.


BTW: for those who don't know yet:
On the TDS download page the scripts and speech pack (d/l link) are available now.

[Mr.Blaze]

:'( Helllllllppppppppppppppp i cant seem to run them and worst it dont seem to reconize ss3 scripts looky

[Jooske]

wrong icons, you probably lost your windows scripting host.
i posted the d/l link at MS in the private forum, or you used some script blocker which you should not outside wormguard.
And move the CokeMachine folder to your TDS-3 directory
X:\...\TDS-3\Scripts\CokeMachine to find it back easy.

[Mr.Blaze]

:DHIIIIIIIIIII will i got the icons to say vbs and here is the strange part how i did it

in microsoft window media player i had unselected files like plug ind mpg 1 avi etc etc.

so i click on select all apply ok and all of the suden those scripts had a vbs icon on them.

but i still couldnt run or load the scripts

so im going to put coke machine in tds scripts

see if that helps

if not im going to dowenload thie scripting thing you mentioned

[Mr.Blaze]

:ohey you think my norton system works might have something to do with it?

[Mr.Blaze]

??? norton 2002 system works might have some scripting blocking stuff not sure

[Jooske]

Yes NAV has a script blocker included, i remember long time ago you posted a startup log in which was a nav script blockage, think this was when you had major problems causing you tio format and rebuild your system several months ago. I'm not sure how to get rid of that blocker.
Did you in IE allow scripts running in the trusted zone and try again? (remember for instance in TDS type msgbox "this is a messagebox" and see if it appears, on your desktop you can make a same kind of line in notepad, save as test.vbs and see what happens if you click it.
The wmp should not block all files for any other program if they are not associated with that wmp of course!

[Mr.Blaze]

wow it still not working i even disable nav

[Mr.Blaze]

:'(i cant even run inner peace

[Jooske]

You ever used startup or hijackthis startup in which the NAV script blocker showed up loud and clear, it was not NAV itself but an extra function in it.
I know you solved it the other time.
You could of course try what happens if you re-install windows script 5.6
(this version here is the latest for all expect XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0a8a18f6-249c-4a72-bfcf-fc6af26dc390&DisplayLang=en
and this is for win2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en )

[Jooske]

Blazey, can you post again your startup or hijackthis file so we can look for the script blocking culpit?
Thanks! The other time it was a Norton function, maybe not in NAV but another part to blame!

[Gavin - DiamondCS]

The new 5MB installer doesn't include scripts, if you want them download the addons on the download page as well :)

[Mr.Blaze]

:-[ god im such a newb ok so i have to dowenload extra stuffs hey also where is the hi jack this utlity ?

[DolfTraanberg]

Dolf

[Jooske]

Blazey, you had - lost - recovered and now lost the script ability again, so any ideas what you did with your settings?

You see? i told you, same as last time. get rid of that !

[Pieter_Arntz]

Hi Mr.Blaze,

You can also get rid of this one, if you don't use that program anymore:
O8 - Extra context menu item: Download with Go!Zilla - file://C:\PROGRAM FILES\GO!ZILLA\download-with-gozilla.html

Regards,

Pieter

[Mr.Blaze]

how do i get rid of it you mean literly delet keys or just disable it in norton options or disable in ms config?

[Pieter_Arntz]

Hi MrBlaze,

You can check them in HijackThis and click Fix checked and then reboot for the changes to become effective.

Regards,

Pieter

[FanJ]

Blaze,

Off topic, BUT:

Are you aware that you are running two firewalls (as far as I understood from your posting):

1- Norton Personal Firewall
2- ZAPRO

Is that really what you want to do?
I understood from postings in the past by you, that you love your ZAPRO.

If I were you, I really would think twice about those two together !

Note:
In the past it WAS possible with older versions of NIS and ZA to run them both together in tandem.
In that time, both companies confirmed that it was possible to do so. In fact, there was a time in the past when I myself ran ZA Free 2.6.362 and NIS 1.0 without problems.
However:
1- I completely don't know whether that is still possible with newer versions.
2- I don't know which versions of both NPF and ZAPRO you are running now.
3- You have told us in the past that you were afraid that you didn't have enough RAM memory.

So, putting it all together:
If I indeed understood it right from your posting that you are running both ZAPRO and NPF together, then I would advise you to stop using one of those. It's up to you which one you would like to use, but I always understood from you that you liked your ZAPRO.

Note 2:
This issue about those two firewalls has nothing to do with your scripting issue.

Cheers, Jan.

[Mr.Blaze]

yup i disable norton fire wall run my zap pro and let norton transparent proxy threw my zap pro

works great no problemsi even get alerts like normql and application request like normal

No, as far as I saw in your HijackThis log posting, I still see a lot of NPF related processes running.........
But I am not an expert on HijackThis, so I have to leave the interpretation to others, but I have my doubts....

[Dan Perez]

Hey Blaze,

Did you remove those options through hijackthis as Pieter suggested?

...and scripts still don't run?

Thx

[Mr.Blaze]

hi guys will i disable script blocking in norton and i uncheck script blocking in msconfig

rebooted my pc and install the new script engine jooskey told me to install still didnt work

ill try useing hi jack this now but wondering if that would make a diffrence

that and wouldnt useing hijack to do that mis up my norton lol will i got go back so i guess im about to find out lol

[Dan Perez]

As long as you do just those two entries (one for Script blocker and the other Gozilla) you should be fine. Be sure to have all IE and Windows Explorer windows closed when you do the fix

[Mr.Blaze]

ok going to try and if it fail im going to try installing all ms agent stuff from microsoft and try algain brb

[FanJ]

Blazey,

It's a little bit late here right now.... ::)
Do I see no ZAPro anymore? Why?
Do I see still NPF firewall?
Well, at the moment it could be all my own mistake.
At the moment, at this time of the day, eh morning, I might easily make a mistake.....
Be assured of one thing: the guys here with a lot of knowledge about NIS/NPF are Joseph and CrazyM !!!!!

[Dan Perez]

Jan!

Get some sleep! It's calling out to you "ssssllleeeeeeepppp"

Both ZAP and NPF are still there, Blaze just removed the script blocker :)

[FanJ]

Yep, you're right Dan !!! ::)

Thanks !!!
See you all later.
Cheers, Jan.

[DolfTraanberg]

Maybe I don't get it with those scriptblockers.
I have never had any problems running scripts with TDS and I made some ugly ones which WG should have made explode.
I suppose it has to do because those scripts are executed within TDS.
I imagine this should be the case with with other scriptblockers as well? ??? ???
Dolf

[Mr.Blaze]

LOL MY ZAP PRO WORK OK WITH NORTON FIRE WALL BUT I DISABLE NORTON AND LET TRANPARENT PROXY THREW NO PROBS.

Ok lol i try to run and load scripts no go and i installed the following

Microsoft agent 2.0
Microsoft Speech Recognition Engine
Microsoft Text-to-Speech Engine
spchapi
microsoft speech control panel
lernout & hauspie true voice tts engine
windows script 5.6

i really dont get why it not working acording to the read out on hi jack this norton scrip blocker gone right?

[Dan Perez]

Yup, its gone.

Is it just agent scripts that you are having problems with or any scripts at all?

What happens when you try to run them? Does it come up with any error message or does it just whistle "Dixie"?

[Mr.Blaze]

it whistle but it whistle the smurf song lol

nope it just does this :D and im doing this :D and it :Dthen back to me stareing at screen :D you think it worm guard problem

[Dan Perez]

lol

I doubt WG is causing a problem but it doesn't hurt to rule it out.

What types of scripts are you trying to run?

[Mr.Blaze]

;Djooskey scripts in tds the ms agent ones i know scripting works cause on web pages i get script errors with debug option now i didnt befor cause i didnt allow scripts

[Dan Perez]

On the agent stuff I'm afraid that you will have to wait for Jooske as she is the expert.

But just to be sure, I want you to make a simple script. Open notepad and cut and paste the following line,

Wscript.Echo "Hello, Blaze!"

Save that file as hello.vbs into whatever directory you like. Then browse over to that directory and make sure it has the normal vbs icon and then double click on it. You should get a simple message box. If that works then the Windows Script Host is installed and working and we know that nothing is getting in its way.

[Jooske]

In the TDS GUI type
msgbox "hello Blaze"
does the msgbox show up after enter?
Did you check if there are 0 kb files in the TDS directory? If so, delete them.
If you type the same line in notepad, save as hello.vbs on your desktop, does anything come back when clicked?

In your IE security settings, did you block scripts there for all and trusted webpages? If so, don't in those zones.
Did you set in Outlook Express to read emails in the restricted zone or internet zone? Set to internet zone.
As windows explorer / IE / OE are so much integrated such things can influence one another.

Do you remember when the scripts stopped? Was this after blocking them in IE?
Your WG should protect you for nasties from webpages, and there are sites i only visit via restricted zone.


In your ZAPro > Privacy > tab Ad blocking > uncheck the Animation blocking
It might be the "banner ads" must not be set on "always" but on "performance" for some occasions, and choose the lowest value of 1.
tab Mobile code > uncheck the vbs script blocking and if necessary all 4 of them.
On websites, the agents are in fact a kind of form popping up, so those settings might block them from running their script or popping up at all.
OK


Let us hear if this was the cause. Thanks.


BTW: i really hope you did not install the Agent core 2.0 from the MS site, as in your XP is a newer engine, which is not available on the MSagent site. Although: this was the situation, and i'm not sure if they corrected or put at least a warning for XP users not to get that core part (the upper agentcontrol 2.0)
If you can, try to get that part back from your XP install cd-rom or are you able to get that back from a partly goback or ghost restore?

Did that testagent in email or as testagent.html from desktop run for you?

[Mr.Blaze]

lol that was cool that worked

[Jooske]

Sorry, i was editing my posting crossing your reply which worked, can you tell which worked for wich now?
So if needed we can look deeper.


In such a webpage with "scriptinmg error" messages, you might like to go to the source and save it in a notepad or if big in an email in txt format to look at it patiently.
ZAPro set's lots of own code because of all those security blocks, so you might find something with those.

[Mr.Blaze]

will scripting work

[Dan Perez]

Cool! Then we now know that nothing is blocking the scripts from running at all, it is just a matter of getting the speech stuff going ;D

I'll leave you then in the expert hands of Jooske

Time for ME to sleep :)

[Mr.Blaze]

:Dnow let try jooskey scripting

[Jooske]

in TDS GUI typ
speak "hello Blazey!"
it uses the same speech engine as the agents.
It won't speak though if your SAPI5 build in XP is listening for voice commands. So that should be temporary be closed, so SAPI4 can run.

See page 2 of this discussion, maybe should make it a sticky of speech/msagent in TDS
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=121;start=15

Hope it works for you too!

[Mr.Blaze]

:owill i did what you said in tds box nothing happend

i did your vbs script and this what happend

[Mr.Blaze]

In your IE security settings, did you block scripts there for all and trusted webpages? If so, don't in those zones.
Did you set in Outlook Express to read emails in the restricted zone or internet zone? Set to internet zone.
As windows explorer / IE / OE are so much integrated such things can influence one another.

script active x controls enabled
active scripting enabled
scripting of javah applets enabled

ahhhhh gaspppppppppppp oh man will here go go back time lol

[Mr.Blaze]

:Dyou mean basicly reinstall my microsoft word xp right

[Jooske]

At the moment i must think back your steps and what is possible and what not.
You have the proper vbs icon back on your test script.
Why the one script runs and the other not?
No "" missing?
I just ran my test file with this content
Msgbox "This is a VBS script running"
which you might like to try again.
That line you can either put in notepad and save as test.vbs or in the TDS GUI, both should give the same result.
You might also like to save it as an SS3 script to run from TDS and if so, does it work?
I made this test SS3, it shows the messagebox, after clicking the OK it will speak the second line.

Msgbox "This is a VBS script running"
speak "hello Jooske"

Do your SS3 scripts have the proper icons now?


The msagents technology should have come with the windows XP installation, not sure if it comes another time with XP word. with that last one you might like to do a repair install via opening Word and in extra or tools do a repair if possible.


In my IE i have set all ActiveX set to "prompt" so at least i know when something is trying.

And did you move the email reading in OE to the internet zone (in the security tab) ?

[Mr.Blaze]

:D

[Mr.Blaze]

:(but it no talk i guess it strange because my tds can taly it say hello and talk but these do it your self scripts wont

[Jooske]

That is great, so probably there was a typo before.
And if you save the tiny SS3 script and run it from TDS, do you get both the msgbox and after pressing OK the voice?

That second one with the "speak" line should be saved with an SS3 extension and loaded from the TDS console as a normal SS3 script!

[Jooske]

In the meantime i made your script a bit larger to try as a SS3 script.
copy and paste in the SS3 script editor, save as Helloscript.SS3
same story like before

Msgbox "This is a VBS script running"
speak "Hello Blazey"

Call MSAgentForm.LoadMSAgent("Genie", SysVar("sys.windowsdirectory") & "\msagent\chars\Genie.acs")
MSAgentForm.AgentControl "Show"
MSAgentForm.AgentControl "MoveTo", "200", "200", "1000"
MSAgentForm.AgentControl "Speak", "Hello " & CStr(TDSUserName) & "!!"
MSAgentForm.AgentControl "Speak", "To unload me completely type Hide in the console."
MSAgentForm.AgentControl "Speak", "Bye bye !!"

Sub hide
MSAgent.Characters.UnLoad "Genie"
End Sub


make sure no lines are wrapping!
it's that line with Call.... and the line thereafter which should be one line.
If your Genie is in it's default location you can replace that line with
Call MSAgentForm.LoadMSAgent("Genie", "Genie.acs")

It seems here as if the script starts with an empty line, which is not the case! It starts immediately with the script itself.

Did you disable the SAPI5 voice recognition for XP during those tests and euhmm you said TDS is talking normally to you when you type anything in the console to speak to you?
And are you really really sure there are no size 0 kb files in the TDS directory or the scriptfolders you're using?

[Mr.Blaze]

:(WAIT ONE TUTIN MINUTE HEY ARNT THOSE RED VBS THINGHY SUPOSE TO LOOK LIKE MY BLUE SCRIPTS

Also that blue one wont load nor can tds display it when i choose run it like it not even there

hey i have mash on my pc would playing with the mash output options cause this

[Mr.Blaze]

:(wow poor jooskey i must be the most hardest newb to deal with

[Jooske]

Is it possible for you to set your file extensions to be shown?
This is how they look for me.


The very frustrating thing is you had it all running ok before and i don't know what you changed since and WHY!?

[Mr.Blaze]

ok do property check on your ss3 script and under opens with tell me what it opens with

[Jooske]

That kind of info is not given nowhere (win98Se)
not even from a file if i save it on the desktop and rightclick for properties.
Only in windows explorer with all details checked i get the info about the file type which is SS3 file.

Your's are showing as VBS.
please show the names with properties, details.
and make sure an SS3 script is named a ss3 script as it should and i want to see those file extensions and full names.
i even see you's with different icons: the blue for a real VBS script (the test thing) and VBS for what should be SS3

If i just rightclick a SS3 icon and search for "opening" and choose that i get an empty SS3 editor, not the expected file.
I'm used to drag the scripts to notepad or to load them.

I asked you if you have empty size 0 files in your TDS directory, do you have those for the SS3editor.exe for instance?

[Mr.Blaze]

:obut i did show the info i did property check look albove

i pull out coke machine off my cd and that what the icon look like and the ones you had me make with note oad turn into those blue icons

so im sorry im totaly new to this i didnt mean to frustrate you.

just tell me how to find out what you need to know and i will do it remember im not so computer saby espechialy with extentions and stuffs

[Mr.Blaze]

all the tds ss3 eiles have that red vbs icon it says it opens with sccrip editor

[Jooske]

Why don't i get names in your explorer like
blaze.SS3
blaze1.SS3
test.VBS

What did you change on your system / settings since the last time you ran SS3 scripts without any problems?
to inform you i have Mash 6.. too and have no problems with the SS3 scripting at all as you noticed.

What happens if you open the SS3 editor in TDS?

I asked you if you have and to remove size 0 kb files.
What happens in the "open with" for the SS3 files if you press "change"?
Can you somewhere in your system re-associate SS3 with SS3 and not with VBS?


Yes it is frustrating Blaze, as you had it all fine in order and running fine with all your SS3 scripts and now again and this time worse then the other day we're all trying to get you back on track, while you even have a ghost or goback thing and even system restore!

I asked you several times what did you DO actually which is so disturbing for the SS3 part?
That's the only way to step back and re-change and re-associate the files properly.
Get rid of 0 kb files, look if the scripts files are played in the proper internet zone, i did tell you you have to do so both in IE and OE to have them right for your whole system.
I ever lost my scripting thing due to??? (i think a security patch or a crash) and only reinstalled the Windows Script 5.6 thing and all was reassociated back to the right SS3 and ran since.

You showed the test.vbs from the desktop playing properly. So the WSH seems ok.
But your ss3 engine seems to have gone or is associated wrong.
If nothing helps you might like to reinstall TDS (fresh d/l)over the existing one or if that doesn't feel ok or work ok uninstall (keep your scripts in safety first plus the keyfile)
TDS and install the new fresh d/l and copy the scripts folder back in and the keyfile and see if that made any change at all (you might like to put the current radius in safety too, to spare some d/l for updating)

Maybe some other program file has deleted or overwritten an required system file you need, like the known OCX files on the TDS d/l page for required files,
vbscript, one of the other files. Maybe the VB6SP5 runtimes used for MASH have overwritten something essential, but --i noticed changes i was not happy with at all! with intalling MASH as i think the install should have ASKED if it was ok to overwrite anything at all!!!-- my SS3 still works fine after that install so i doubt it's in that area.
If you visit the Private forum for scripting you see your own former and other people's solutions and files so if necessary we can send you what we have (i hope somebody with an XP home like you have for the best versions) swhen needed.

[Open Source]

If i may be so bold to intervene.

As you may recall Blaze had no file association set for SS3 file's see below

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/attachments/Si_could_cry.jpg

The icons should had looked like this seen in your example.

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/attachments/SS3Icons.jpg

This could had been for Many of reasons Listed Below.

1.windows scripting host damaged or never installed correctly or missing.

2. Norton Script blocking active and preventing Executing correctly could also be why it had wrong icons as well.
As the above picture shows.

He mentioned early-er that by adding file type associations in windows media player that the icons became vbs.

I believe in actuality that wasn't the case it was just the system refreshing after he reasochiated all window media player files to windows media player
and did not notice the vbs icons prior to something he must had done early-er.

I believe indeed what he did was evidently Associate the .ss3 files directly with SS3Editor

As you can very well see in the picture below
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/attachments/WHAT_THE.JPG

In windows me when you right click on a file or icon and you do what is called a properties check
You will see at the top to-wards the upper right the change option.

This is dangerous as by default when you click on this a new box will open with a list of several programs.
to-wards the bottom of the newly open box you will see an option check mark filled box that says open program always with this file.

So from now on when he lets say clicks on Blaze.SS3 file Tds SS3 Editor will automatically be called directly because Mr.Blaze has associated all .SS3 directly to SS3Editor
and that may be why all files have VBS Icons.

Solutions

1. Find a way to unassociated the .SS3 from SS3Editor

2. Or wipe your hard drive and start over al-gain

3. Reinstall a program that use .SS3 files and can read them that will associate the file back to the proper settings
by default including registry changes and associations.

4. Have some one guide you threw folder options under tab files types look for .SS3 file and see if you can have them help you change it to its correct file type association or if it safe to delete it
and restart.

I personally do not know how

For those curious on what not to do like Mr.Blaze i have added a picture Not Good do not ever do this it can screw up your pc.

Which brings me to my other point do not let Newbies Drink and use computers while attempting to fix pc problems
Drinking and pc fixing don't mix.

So if you see your Friend drunk as a skunk on the pc and he looks like he has had to much pleas take alway his keyboard and put him to bed.

In the end you can save Pc's

[Dan Perez]

HI OpenSource,

I'm not sure I understood you correctly.

Are you saying the it is dangerous to have SS3 open property associated with the Script Editor? If so, can you please (again:) ) explain why?

Also, you mention returning the SS3 properties back to the "proper settings", by this do you mean associating with wscript? If I am not mistaken, while SS3 is heavily based on VBS they are not the same and SS3 includes some things that VBS cannot handle so I do not think this is a viable option. My own SS3 scripts are associated in the same manner as Blaze's currently is and they run fine as is. I am willing to bet that if Blaze tried any of the other SS3 scripts within TDS that does not have any reliance on MSAgent they will likely work fine for him.

TIA,

Dan

[Andreas1]

To put Dan's comment into other words (forgive me, Dan ::) ):

unlike vbs files or scripts embedded in html files, ss3 files are not meant to be executed by having a doubleclick launch windows scripting engine. They can only be used by loading/running them from within TDS.
(I admit I don't know if the vbs engine would execute a ss3 file if it contained only valid vbs code and no tds-stuff... anyway...)

So, if the doubleclick on ss3 files is not even remotely used to launch them, you can just as well associate the files with your favourite text editor and have the doubleclick load the ss3 file for editing. (I have ss3 files associated with UltraEdit).

CU,
Andreas

[Mr.Blaze]

Sorry guys i didnt think id be causeing so many probes.
To my frind jooskey i look in tds there are no 0 files or 0kb files like you asked me to look for.

you also wanted pick of my scripts with extentions showeing ok here

hope this help

[Mr.Blaze]

;DDan Perez will when i double click on the vbs script look what shows up is that normal

[Mr.Blaze]

:D i think this what open source talking about under folder options under file types does you ss3 script thing look like mine?

[Mr.Blaze]

:o i just try runing dan Wscript.Echo "Hello, Blaze!"
Untitled1.SS3 on tds and it dont work all SS3 scripts will not load or run in tds even waynes

[Dan Perez]

@ Andreas:

Thanks! :D I completely missed that aspect :o

@ Blaze:

If you go to Folder Options -> File Types (such as you did in the pic 2 posts ago) and once you have SS3 highlighted, click on the "Advanced" button. You should see something along the lines of my onw pic. In particular,

You should have only three properties listed,

None of the three should be in BOLD

You should have only one "Open" property

[Mr.Blaze]

:D Like this now what? was supose to do something by the way yours look way cooler then mine why

[Dan Perez]

As to the difference in appearance, I have both Hoverdesk and WindowBlinds loaded which allow you to COMPLETELY change the appearance of the deskop, taskbar, windows elements, etc.

The URLs are

http://www.hoverdesk.net/

http://www.windowblinds.net/

I have the Azarro them loaded through each application which looks like

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/913895

BTW- Most of the Themes for WindowBlinds and HoverDesk can be viewed on deviantart

I get occasional lockups of Hoverdesk but I DO have lots of apps loaded so it may be that.

-- break ---

Back to the topic at hand :)

it seems as if there may be some issue with the TDS install, now that we know that WSH is working properly, your SS3 properties seem to be okay, you may want to try reinstalling TDS on top of your current install and see if that does the trick

[Mr.Blaze]

;Dtds will let me install over the old tds ok ill try that thx Dan

[Mr.Blaze]

brb im reinstall tds

[Mr.Blaze]

:Doh man im so scared to post i know how frustrated people going to feel but for the record you all love me remember that and keep that in mind.



blaze back up a few feet looks at crowd hmmmmm backs up a few more feet hmmmmm beter get a head lead towards door lol

blaze blurts out reinstall didnt fix it lol _-_--__-_-__-__--___------_-_-___----__-_--- :o

[Dan Perez]

heh. heh. heh

okay, let's regroup. If I remember right you installed the core component of MSAgent which may not have been needed since you are running XP right? If so, you might check in Add/remove programs if you can remove it there (I didn't see it on my Win2k machine). If you can remove it, fine, do so. Either way, why don't you try looking here... well, it may be in a different place in XP...in Add/Remove programs you can go to a different section to Add/Remove Windows components. If you have that in XP open up each of those and look for something having to do with its implementation of the MS Agent setup. The idea is that you want to select to remove it, do a reboot, and then select to re-add it. Make sure throughout these steps to cross your fingers AND your toes as this is a very necessary troubleshooting technique (heretofore known to PROs only)

[Jooske]

In screenshot in answer #78 you see the icon associated to SS3 scripts as VBS, while in the next shot the SS3 engine is associated to a DOC icon.
That you at doubleclicking an SS3 file in explorer get the SS3 editor opened with the script in it is fine!
Maybe in the screenshots #81/82 you're able to change the icon to the DOC, but this is up to you.


MSagent once installed has no way to be removed.
I wonder how to get it back from the XP install cd-rom. I looked on the msagent site at MS, there is a warning XP users don't need to get that part as it's on the cd-rom already, i searched through the trouble bases but this point was not there.
In fact i would think if MS software finds anything newer it would not overwrite the existing files with your new download.
When in TDS > Process List > Agentsvr.exe click "more" and see the file details.
Mine is 2.00.0.2202 which is a version for all except XP.
Do you have the same or another version? In case another one, you should not worry for that part.
If you have the cokemachine, in that is a jokes.exe which can run from anywhere on your system and a helpfile exe. If you click one of those, does the Genie jump up with his story?


There is something more i just realise seeing your screenshots:
i wrote them all to run from the TDS-3\Scripts\CokeMachine directory
Your path is different!!!
Can you give this try: if you don't have, create a directory TDS-3\Scripts\CokeMachine and put a few scripts there and try now again to load them from TDS > SS3 > Load Script

Please tell me this is the solution?!

In that case you should be able to run all the other scripts too. Is that right?

[Pilli]

Well, XP pro shows this version for Agent server:
Version by properties: 2.0.0.3422

[Jooske]

Great, thanks Alan!
Now waiting for Blaze to react on those BURNING questions!

[Mr.Blaze]

8)LOL GUYS IM ON WIN ME NOT XP BUT I DO HAVE WORD 2003 INSTALL ON MY PC

jooskey remember last time i couldnt load my ms agents in my word 2001 0r 2002 it sucked but in word 2003 they talk and everything lol

and all ms agets i put in my msagent folder show up as selectable charcters in microsoft word office assistant

here jooskey i think you wanted this pic

i just cant seem to run any vbs script in tds

[Dan Perez]

Windows ME!... WINDOWS ME!!!!... heh, heh I need to backup and regroup and do dome searches brb

[Dan Perez]

Can you go to the site

http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/dev/code/TryMSAgent.asp

Does the MS Agent character work there on your system?

[Mr.Blaze]

lollmao lol omg i have a pariot on my screen cracking jokes at me this is so coooooolllllllllll now he munching on his foot

[Mr.Blaze]

;D cool he does stuff when he bored

[Mr.Blaze]

lol he just sang to me way coooooool

[Dan Perez]

Cool, so we now know that

1. WSH is working properly

2. MS Agent is working properly

3. SS3 properties are set correctly

This seems to leave only TDS but I can't see how :(

I just noticed (I only recently reloaded MS Agent on my system ) that while I do get audio when I do the speak command at the TDS Console Command line I cannot get, for instance, InnerPeace to run properly. I get the first msgbox with the start button but nothing following. Strange.

[DolfTraanberg]

-{ Quote: " quoting: Mr.Blaze link=board=5;threadid=10402;start=90#msg70761 date=1057004155]
i just cant seem to run any vbs script in tds
" }-
Huh????
Dolf

[Mr.Blaze]

:D will your lucky at least you get some vbs code to work in your tds on mine none of it works what i find strange is tds welcome blaze works in audio

you know that option that tds has to greet you that works

but no vbs scripts .ss3 thinghys dont work

[Dan Perez]

Yeah, I have the same thing on mine in the respect that the sign on audio works but msagent-reliant ss3 scripts do not BUT

on mine, if you type the speak command in the commandline of the TDS Console I get a response.

Just to make sure can you type in your console command-line

speak "Hello Blaze!"

and afterward type in

msgbox "Hello Blaze!"

[Mr.Blaze]

:)just tryed both in tds comand line box then hit enter nothing happend

[Dan Perez]

Okay this is a MAJOR stretch so don't change anything but look in your registry for the following key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.ss3\OpenWithList

You will likely have multiple entries there but first on my list is tds-3.exe

Do you see it in your registry?

[Pilli]

I hate to say this :o but ME really is not a good OS and has many foibles. I doubt it is TDS but "artifacts" of a very weak OS. Please either downgrade to 98SE or upgrade to W2K / XP, sorry but ME problems are worse than chasing rainbows. Blazey believe me martyrdom is for saints! :o
Sorry if this is a cynical post but some things beyond being a mere mortal & are not worth the trouble ;D

[Dan Perez]

Yeah, I completely agree with that assessment of the ME phenomenon. The previous company I worked with absolutely refused to support Windows ME for its clients it was/is that bad. Blaze, if you CAN change your OS to something else I definitely would.

[Mr.Blaze]

will im not one hundred percent sure how to do that.

Let see i went to start click on run type in regedit.

then i click on find tab and selected match exact phrase

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.ss3\OpenWithList

and literly nothing showed up you think the key is missing?

[Dan Perez]

well it may not apply since your OS is completely different. It was a shot in the dark anyway :)

[Mr.Blaze]

will there is some good news out of this my ms agents work and talk normaly.

so i know i can run them i know mash will run mash scripts

hey my tds folder is name michale

remember when you first install tds it tells tou to put it in or name it something difrent other then tds.

will mine is in c: michale folder you think that might be the problem

[Pilli]

Could be! The path associations that are different than normal may be the reason that the .ss3 script cannot find the agent.
Blazey your "road map" maybe confusing the issue. Not sure where the paths may need changing as yet .... ;D
I s michale male or female? - This may have a great bearing on the issues we are discussing :P

[Jooske]

Pity you kept me thinking all those weeks you were now on XP.
For the screenshot i wished you had pressed the "More Info" where the version number of the agentsvr is.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ss3\OpenWithList
is my key in the ME.

For the rest i'm in the dark.
You installed TDS over the excisting version, and TDS doesn't overwrite existing files, unfortunately, even if they are wrong, damaged, older.
So the only way would be completely uninstall the whole TDS, but keep the keyfile and the scripts folder somewhere safe. I did write this before, btw.

I'm not sure about the current situation what works and what does not.

The msagent work on website,
do they from the email scripts i sent you recently?
the clippit test email for XP, which for me runs fine on win98se too. It's the same i posted as testagent in the private forum.
Try both versions.
For the email in OE make sure you read the emails in internet zone
For your firewall allow animations and allow java and activeX
In IE set in the internet zone the ActiveX all on "prompt"

As you could the other day run the VBS scripts from your desktop and from the TDS console --the other day you could, so why not now??-- the vbs part should be ok, no blocks anymore since you finally got rid of that norton script blocker.

do you or do you have not have speech in TDS when you type the things Dan said and the friendly greetings?
If not, get again the runtimes from the sapi4 and run them to install (they ship with TDS too, spchapi.exe)
Make sure you disable the sapi5 which might have come with word 2003 if that has that one if the TDS does not speak with Word 2003 up.
Your msagents work so you must have the VB6
I asked you many posts ago to look at the required files; as you don't run XP it could serve you to look for the OCX files, and i asked you SEVERAL times to visit the DCS forum in the SS3 scripting area, where people with equal problems were helped out by just simply let us know about missing required system files, like
msscript.oca
msscript.ocx
vbscript.dll
I have been a lot online but haven't seen you there a single time for weeks! You know very well i can't post here the exact threads to that area but go there and read how other people's problems also on ME were solved, including your own in former occasions.

[Mr.Blaze]

Ouch im so sorry jooske i didnt mean to upset you or frustrate you

I hope you didnt get any grey hairs from me stressing you out.

Ok after reading your post i got of my lazy newb a$$ and gather all the info i could on my pc and software

By doing this i found alot about my pc and some stuff i was mistaken on.

Pleas remember im not as puter saby as you guys and at one time you guys didnt even know what a modem was.

that being said lol remember im at that state so pity me dont throw stuffs at me lol.

im sure by now many are frustrated pulling hair and munching on there nails lol.

so lets first start with the info you asked for.

1.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ss3\OpenWithList
I went to start then went to run ,typed in regedit click ok.
Went to tab edit click there

hit find keys ,values,data all boxes checked,then check box match this whole phrease
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ss3\OpenWithList


nothing in regedit found this key when its search was completed

I did another search only with this in the search tab of regedit OpenWithList and found many keys that say value not set.


2.now lets look for those files
msscript.oca file not found in search
msscript.ocx file not found in search
VBSCRIPT.DLL found in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
VBSCRIPT.DLL found in C:\Program Files\Juno\bin

3 yes i do have speech in tds on tds default greeting

4. i can create vbs scripts but not run them in tds nor load them very strange.

5.All test scripts that you and dan with things such as mesage box hello blaze work
messages that include speech as well you have seen an error message that i have posted.

6 i can excute scripts on my desktop like the small test files only from my desktop
i can not how ever run or load from tds comand line nothing happens.


7.locate a SAPI.DLL - SAPI 5 in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech and another in
SAPI 5 - SAPI C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\1033
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\SAPISVR.EXE
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\SAPI.CPL
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\SAPI.DLL


i did find a spchapi in tds folder Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor

I look in software packages i guess i have windows word 2002 not 2003 like i thought i had
but SAPI v5 seems to be installed in my pc.


i included further info on my pc all that i could come up with.


pleas be pathient with me as i have no clue what i should be doing but i hope some of this helps

[LowWaterMark]

Hi Blaze,

I can't answer the SS3 problems you are having, but here is a little explanation of how to get to the keys they were asking about in REGEDIT.

When you run regedit and are looking for a specific key or area in the registry, you need to step your way into it. Starting at the top, you hit the (+) plus-sign next to the first segment of the key you are looking for...

Since you want to look at this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ss3\OpenWithList

Take the first part "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" and hit the plus sign to expand that one. Then scroll down to the second part of the key "Software" and hit that plus sign... Keep opening each section - one part at a time - until you've finally worked your way all the way to the last part - "OpenWithList".

I hope this helps to explain it so you can get to the key they mentioned, where you'll find some possibly important value.

[DolfTraanberg]

Hey Blaze,
-{ Quote: "4. i can create vbs scripts but not run them in tds nor load them very strange." }-
Do I understand that you want to execute .vbs scripts in TDS ??
If that is the case, it wont work .vbs for Microsoft Scripting Host and ss3 for TDS

[Mr.Blaze]

;Dyeah thank you so much low water i found it lots of stuffs

there is
default
a IEXPLORE.EXE
b SS3EDIT.EXE
c TDS-3.EXE
d MASH.EXE
mrulist

[Dan Perez]

Hi Dolf,

Actually, in the attempt to isolate possible problem-points we first ran a simple vbs script within windows and when we found that worked Jooske came up with an SS3 analogue to try which did not work within TDS.

@ Blaze, have you tried looking through those threads at the DCS private forum that Jooske mentioned to see if anything rings a bell?

[Mr.Blaze]

:-[nope it al high end stuffs lots of cal tech talk there i usealy get lost

that and will im not sure if i can log in i had to wipe my hd a few times and not sure what my pass word is or

ahhhhhhh i just thought id be able to get help here

im comfy here but if i absoulutly have to ill go i honestly dot thhink it help it would just confuse me i know my limits it not a bad thing

[Dan Perez]

lol Cal Tech stuff huh? lol

We are more than happy to continue helping you here but I noticed some rather long and detailed posts that Jooske made there and to have to repeat that stuff here would be a pain (not to mention that some things are only supposed to be discussed in the Private Forum). I'm sure they can refresh your password there if you want. But only if you want :)

Anyways, we will continue to help here, its just I am starting to run out of ideas :-[

I'm going to try to see if I can find any other ideas and when I do I will post it here

8)

[Mr.Blaze]

me to lol i tryed i really did just to much for every one elses pc it not a bad thing its just my pc cause its all tricked out with security

[Jooske]

Some hundred postings ago i asked you to look for file versions or missing files.
I just PM-ed your login in the DCS forum and emailed you the two missing files you mentioned.



Make sure as you have SAPI5 --which must have come with word 2002 and belongs NORMALLY to XP, not to other systems--- to look in the other thread i linked to in this forum some twohundred postings ago how to close the SAPI5 the moments you need to use SAPI4.
You seem to have succeeded as you had the Peedy on your screen with sound effects and speech.
It's now no problem i guess which AgentControl version you have, but i am interested to know if the Word 2002 has given you a new version to play with the Word 2002 Office characters or not. As ORIGINALLY the Office characters have no speech included.
See the TestAgent.TXT (to be used as HTML) in the forum which i sent you as an email too.
I want to know if both versions work for you (i asked 50 postings ago the same)
I'll have to try the testpages at MS to see if it all still works for other systems too overthere, as i had all time big problems with the Peedy Pizza Ordering test (my favorite, btw and yes, it is possible to build such a thing in TDS but it takes time to solve the tech problems)

If you still don't get that HKEY : i couldn't find it either at first and went all on top of the Registry and above that did a search for SS3 which is there many times in every HKEY, till i found the key mentioned here.
My scripts won't work as they ask for the path
TDS-3\Scripts\CokeMachine and since you don't use TDS-3 at all some 40 postings ago i asked you to create a folder with that name and path to store my stuff there and play it from TDS.

If it all still doesn't work and the HKEY really isn't there i can only advice to completely uninstall the whole TDS and reinstall the fresh download and copy back the scripts folder and keyfile -- you might like to try a default install where you only replace DCS with Micheal so several TDS-3 functions know where to look for them.
As long as the name TDS-3 is in the path to see if that is part of your problem.

[Mr.Blaze]

:Dyup i have some new charcters that came with microsoft word 2002 i think or i never used them befor they seem to be more active like little kids playing on my desktop

[Jooske]

But does SS3 now work for you?


Noticed you don't have the CokeMachine script in your Scripts folder.
Make sure you have a path
TDS-3\Scripts\CokeMachine
In there unzip the CokeMachine.SS3 i just emailed you.
From TDS start with the LoadMe.ss3 and brace yourself for a few moments of entertainment with music and images and voice and Genie, including the voice commanded Help.exe to open your TDS-3 HELPFILE and lots more, joke machine, jukebox, etc etc etc
As explained many times in the Private forum, make a copy of the Help.Exe and open that in your MASH
You'll have to edit the voice commanded paths to your situation and the forum and you might like to add this forum here.
Save the ting and try to run it standalone. If all works fine try if it still works ok if you replace the original helper.exe with this new one before you eventually delete that.

[Mr.Blaze]

_-_-_---------- :-* :o

_---_---_--- :-* :o THANK YOU JOOSKEY YOU FIXED IT HUGGGGGGGGGGGGG SMOOOOCHEYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Mr.Blaze]

;D this is so cool

[Jooske]

That's great, congratulations!
I see the image is not used, your G4girl.jpg needs to be in the same folder.
Now a screenshot of the little Hello msgbox test as ss3 script please.

Was this after a new install of TDS-3 too?
Or was it just putting in those missing msscript files?
Did the SS3 scripts icons change now too?

I saw somebody asking for the SS3editor.exe after the new TDS-3 install so you might like to keep that file apart too to put back after the reinstall. (just in case)
You do know you have to grab the script examples as a separate zip from the TDS downloadpage, do you? As i didn't see your examples in the screenshot.

I wait with making a rough scripting instruction --which should be in the DCS private forum anyway-- which would only include "how to get it working"
and an "how to get msagent running on your system (available at the MS pages) with speech and from TDS-3"
Also because we're close at TDS-4.

Glad you have it all working again, in time to have Genie sing you a birthdaysong. There's one included in the CokeMachine script.
If you there in the helper.exe press scroll lock you can give voice commands, ask him to tell you the time, etc.

With your MASH you might like to create something (start small), save in VBS format, copy the whole source and paste it in the SS3 editor and save with SS3 extension, load it in TDS and see if it plays.
The voice commandpart not yet, that's why in the CokeMachine i used a SS3 script to call the EXE
It might give errors, as TDS calls the agents commants different, so look in your Blaze script how it was done to correct some.

[Mr.Blaze]

jooskey got sexy voice lol awsome scripts good jokes

[Mr.Blaze]

will thx to you and dan it was great i did everything you said.

first i took my key file out and my coke machine

then i uninstall tds

dowenloaded the new tds and data base and update file.

rebooted

put in missing files you sent me

install new tds

ran your script and it work

and the sound files work to

the g4 girl is in the files but this i think is the problem why her sexy pic didnt show corectly.

all pictures open threw microsoft photo editor look at the blank skin back ground it isnt the normal color white.

usealy pictures use to open with image preview but microsoft little updats changed some file asochiations lol

i am so happy i can run scripts im dowenload them espeachially inter peace

[Jooske]

That's great. You did not lose the ss3edit.exe ?
And your TDS is running better too, you wrote in the other trhead.


In the Blaze.SS3 make sure you look at this line

xForm.Picture = LoadPicture(SysVar("tds.path") & "\Scripts\CokeMachine\G4girl.jpg") 'xForm background image


Make sure your exact pathname is there and the image and script both in the CokeMachine folder.
See it asks for the TDS-3\Scripts\CokeMachine path?
If you make it

xForm.Picture = LoadPicture(C:\Michael\Scripts\CokeMachine\G4girl.jpg)

it might work again with picture.
(mind linewraps, both examples are ONE line!)

If you put InnerPeace in the same place it will use the DCSyste.gif as a background, which comes with the CokeMachine.zip i just sent you.

Not sure how you can re-associate the images, maybe by telling that editor NOT to be the default viewer?


Central for windows from your desktop > properties you can change the layout from all your windows, which might effect the background of the script forms too.

On a side note:
people tell all time how much they dislike the layout for TDS, but since the PE color.reg files are included, i've seen various screenshots for PE looking as much as the current TDS as possible. :)

There is a script to change the layout coloring for the TDS GUI
Scripts\Examples\Interface\Add LineColors.ss3 and a few more in that folder to play with.

[Jooske]

I meant a little screenshot of it playing :)
It's a nice little testscript to test the WSH / VBS, speech, msagent, SS3 all in one

The Scripts.zip is on the TDS download page, little more down where XP users can also get the SAPI4 runtimes.
I have that ss3edit.exe twice: one in the TDS-3 directory and one in the Scripts folder, so i hope it is included in that zip.

I sent you the ss3edit.exe just in case.

Thought you had MASH6 now?
Anyway, it is rather heavy, you need to close lots of programs as it needs much space.
For SS3 small scripts you can use notepad too and save as *.ss3 in the scripts folder.

Sleep well and sweet dreams!

Did you set in Outlook Express to read emails in the restricted zone or internet zone? Set to internet zone.
" }-

With all due respect:

I absolutely and completely disagree !

1-
First of all: apologies to Jooske.
But I do not agree !

2-
I fully admit that I did not take the time to read the whole thread (sorry!!!); I hope to do that in the coming days...

3-
Blaze:
With all due respect:
I urgently ask you to put your Outlook Express in the Restricted Zone of Internet Explorer.
I repeat: PUT OE IN YOUR RESTRICTED ZONE OF IE !!!
And after that, make sure that you have put EVERYTHING in the restricted Zone of IE at the highest possible level of security (call it -if you like- at the highest possible level of paranoïd).
And download and install IE-SPYAD: it will put a huge list of sites in your restricted zone of IE.

4-
Blaze, I repeat:
Put your OE in the restricted zone of IE, and put everything there at the highest possible level of paranoïd.

[Mr.Blaze]

;DI dont use out look express it oneof most evil things people hack lol.

i run jooskey scripts threw tds or i go to web sites like ms agent thearther or i think i ran some stuff threw mash lol.


as for my config i go back and forth when jooskey send me scripts i go therew everything and turn it on when im threw i revert my settings ack lol

she has awsome toys

[Jooske]

Don't panic Jan, nothing wrong with OE, and IE if you're well protected.
We have choices for restricted zones,
in general internet zone put all activeX on "prompt"
and in the restricted zone on "disabled"
You can always put it back after playing the goodies.
Also the (sys)tray icons keep you close to set back allowances, certainly when entering sites with annoyances.
In the firewall you can so easy press that one button to disable animations and java etc.
My emails and scripts are always scanned and checked, in the case of the recent test file it checks if all necessary elements are installed (AgentControl, TTS, Clippit) if not it will get them for you from the original MS site, nothing wrong with that.
You can always copy the whole source into notepad and save with an html extension to play it from the desktop (that's the version i posted in the Private forum)
In other scripts and websites the character.acf files are grabbed from the sites or MS if it's one of their famous four, so never from obscure sites.
All websites with msagent functionallity are known, because of the EULA and believe me MS is really quick with knowing where their products are used on line.
You can't for instance have the software used on any illigal site or having a script talking about something nasty or pron promotions, etc.

The agent theater is really nice, many characters needed! :) I never played their Kama Sutra pages, as i don't have the commercial characters.

Blazey, i just sent you the scripted version of the Hot Salsa contest which is overhere in the Ten-Forward Computer store jokes thread.
You can play it from your email, or copy the source to notepad, save as salsa.html and play from your desktop.
ENJOY! You need some characters, you might like to replace Bobbie if you don't have her with another nice character of your choice.
You can try to copy the script part in SS3 and see how far it gets. It's a bit heavy with 4 characters, so you might not like that experiment.

BTW Blaze, i noticed the autostart change in your screenshot, did you find it as a legal change?

[Mr.Blaze]

nope i never find changes with tds i use trojan check 5 when a new change alpears it tell me what has changed and if i wish to revert it back.

i asked for that in tds 4 lol a real report the one tds come with dont tell you much

[Mr.Blaze]

lol i look in tenford here at wilders where salsa script lol

i think old newb age is catching up to me

[FanJ]

Dear Jooske,

I offer my apologies to you for my posting in Reply #132 .
I should not have made that posting in that way as I did.
Sorry Jooske !

You are doing such a great job !!!
A big and well deserved karma cookie for you !!!

Warm regards,
Groetjes, Jan.

[Jooske]

Thanks a lot Jan!
It's always good to know what one is doing and putting back the necessary security asap.

Blaze, i sent you that script in an email this morning!
I thought you ran to the next Salsa tasting contest!
I do hope you have the necessary characters to play it, but you can exchange for those you have in case not.
It is so nice to play! If you save the source as an HTML file just doubleclick the file to open it and enjoy the theater. Also the voices are done really very nice! ;D
As it has nothing to do with TDS or SS3 scripting i didn't post it in the forums, and as i don't know if the Ten-Forward visitors have the necessary msagents and experience to change them for those they do have i didn't post it there either. So you are unique!
