I've just upgraded to Maxthon 1.5.7 build 82 and now I'm getting an error when I exit Maxthon that I wasn't getting before. The error message is "Maxthon has blocked an error" and Maxthon.exe remains in task manager. Clicking the OK button just flashes the message box and the only way to close Maxthon down is open task manager and end task. I've logged into the administrators account and run Maxthon and it exists with no errors so it may just be a problem running under non-admin accounts. So can anyone confirm this? I'd like to know if its a problem with Maxthon running under standard user account or just something wrong with my computer. Any suggestions? Cheers

the forum is by now littered with posts mentioning this error msg Check which native Maxthon COM plugins you have installed and which IE Plugins are activated. Turn them all off and re-enable 1 by 1 until you know which one is causing the error. In your case it is probably a plugin wanting to write out some data to a location that is not allowed write access under a limited user account.

What I don't understand is why upgrading Maxthon would alter where the plugins try and write data to. Anyway I did as you suggest and turned off all the plugins and the error message went away, so your theory sounds correct. I then turned each plugin on one at a time and quit Maxthon after each one. There were no problems until I turned the last one on which is ViewSource. Then I got the error message. I turned off all the plugins apart from ViewSource and I still got the crash. I turned off ViewSource and it worked again. These are the plugins I have running, I worked from the bottom up. Viewsource Flash Save Enablerightclick Weather More options Tab preview helper Easyfinder Plugin Manager Adhunter extension There were a few occations where having viewsource ticked didn't generate an error, but on the whole enabling this plugin generates this error for me running on a standard windows account. Am I the only one getting this error?

Just an update now i've been using the 1.5.7.82 update for a few days now. I've been using it with the viewsource plugin turned off (but all the other plugins turned on) and i've not had the error once. I will turn the plugin back on today and see what happens.

I disabled all plugins (even Roboform which is an IE plugin. I still get this error on some internal websites. In another thread the Web AD blocker was mentioned. so I disabled that one too. Still the same problem. To me it looks like an error introduces with 1.5.7.82, because I never had it with the previous version. I always install the combo version, btw. <-------------------- Maxthon Information ------------------------> Version=1.5.7.82 Unicode -------- Maxthon Plugins -------- <-------------------- System Information --------------------> OS=WinXP IE Version=6.0.2900.2180

Hi igrok Is that an install over an older version? If yes, have you tried installing it to a separate empty folder? And, as I have no idea what thread you might be referring to, please make sure it's not the same issue as this one: WSUS server & Web Dialog Blocker results in Blocked Error.

igrok

thanks Tara, yep, it's an install over an older version. I found the other thread as well when I was looking into that error. thus I tried what is mentioned here (plugins disable/enable) and also what is referred to in the other thread (Web Dialog Blocker). the result of my investigations/tests seem to indicate that I do not have a problem with plugins, but actually with Web Dialog Blocker. (so I guess I will continue in the other thread) unfortunately, the other thread does not offer a fix but only a workaround. :-( dan

Tara

Thanks for reporting back Dan You're right, it does sound like it's more related to the other problem.

True As far as we know it's a new bug that needs to be fixed by the developer

For me it certainly started with the last version. I re-enabled the view source plugin the other day and I got the error as soon as I quit after enabling it. I've left it turned on though and the error has only shown up once more, so its not a consistent problem and I can't yet find a pattern on when it happens. Hopfully this error that was introduced in this version will be fixed in the next one.

V 1.5.7.82 installed here in new folder and only MaxthonStartPage and CleanSystem plugins installed. None set to start the plugin after the page is fully loaded. In IE plugins only ieSpell, Zoom In and Zoom Out are installed.  Sometimes the above error happens here as well but it is not necessary to open Task Manager to close M.

Maxthon keeps closing on me when it asks if it should report an error, regardless of what I select to tell it to do.  =S

I have the same problem, but mine says the fault is in c:/program files/maxthon/maxthon.exe What can I do?[] I have the error posted here http://www.imagehost.ro/viewer.php?img=1910434046271dac9cda6

http://finance.google.com/finance?q=LUXOTTICA+&hl=en Is a link that it always does the same thing to me, and any google video. Maxthon has blocked an error, click OK c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll exception.... running 1.6.1 build 50 deleted all plugins before trying a reinstall, nothing worked. Any other suggestions? And JarC I also have tried and read through the other postings nothing seems to work, period... No other browser does anything like this, Firefox, new Safari, IE 6 etc.. I don't have any toolbars loaded etc. I seriously think that it may be system related issue and not a browser issu, though if people are having the issue then there needs to be a resolution to it since, people will just get fed up and go to something else. I have donated to Maxthon and I want to stay with them, but even looking over stock pages on Google.Finance is troublesome to say the least!

You could try a second installation of 1.6.1.50 in a DIFFERENT folder, with no configuration changes or plugins, and try surfing with it for a while to see if the problem occurs with that new installation.  If there is no problem with the second Maxthon, then you will know there was some issue with the other installation/configuration of Maxthon.

JarC

Reproducable Scenario to generate a "Maxthon has blocked an error" within Maxthon itself. i.e. it will always name Maxthon as the file in which the error is blocked. Options > Maxthon Options > Favorites and make sure the below two options are set as shown here ... [X] Use compacted favorite bar ... [_] Show system icons in favorites menu ... Now, collapse the Favorites toolbar until it only shows the little arrow button. Press it...

My 2 cents input..... I have been getting these errors too many times at random in different sites, and crashing, that I gave up!!! Can't try v2 because com plugins are not supported yet. Developers ....please!! drb

Same here: Version 1.5.7 and plugins are NOT a factor. Error appears randomnly but almost daily and error window can only be eliminated by shutting down Maxthon.exe through Task Manager.

Well Deushes, I am glad that you found happiness [:smile:] might also want to add _which_ plugin introduced the error for you when doing the last bit, could save others some work... (although agreeing with you that starting from scratch is always a good way to see if it might be settings/plugins related)

This is completely ridiculous. I'm lowered to writing my response on notepad so I can transfer it back to this forum as Maxthon is now crashing on me with the "Maxthon has blocked an error" message every 30 seconds to 10 minutes. This is the third time I start this response. " border="0" alt="angry.gif" />

This problem just started in the last couple of days (since installing latest Windows XP updates?) with me but is there not some kind of a resolution for it yet? It looks like it's been going on for a long tme. I have scoured the boards only to find many pieces of advice as to how to fix it but not one of them verified or proven.

Do I really need to reinstall flash? Must I uninstall and reinstall Maxthon again? How many times do I have to do this? Uninstall, plugins, reinstall plugins. I mean, sheesh, what is going on here? This is nonsense and quite maddening, really. It's a problem that just started for me but I have made NO changes to Maxthon in a very long time. How can another reinstall help? This error was not preceded by any software application installations or updates other than the Windows update mentioned. Obviously, if Maxthon continues to behave like this I will be required to move to another browser. But I really, really don't want to. I understand that this is free software offered to the users with obivious great amount of work and effort being put into it; and it is all appreciated but it needs to work for me to use it, right? Up until now, Maxthon has always worked far better than any browser in history. Like many of you, I've been using Maxthon since before it was Maxthon. There have been some definite hiccups along the way but as a userbase, we've dealt with it. It just feels to me that this hiccup is the only one that has ever actually prevented me from using Maxthon and may be the one that forces me to move away from it.

On another but similar note, this is my first post in the new forum. Congratulations, it looks very nice. The transition went fairly smoothly but then I was unable to edit my profile. Again, a simple search on this found it to be a common issue and the most widely spread reason for this was that to prevent spam you need to have a minimum of 50 posts before you can change your profile details. What the hell is that all about? That doesn't make any sense at all. How is preventing me from adding an avatar or changing my timezone going to help prevent spam? The only thing it will prevent is me from feeling welcome, coming back or being a productive member of this community. By the way, I'm posting this here because every thread I found that discussed this issue was locked.

Spammers don't bother with editing thier personal details. Once in a blue moon they may add a spam-sig if it can be done in an automated fashion. Personalization is part of what makes me want to come back here and contribute. I've been a member of this forum for over 3 years...doesn't that count for something? I assure you I am not a spambot. Haven't had a lot to say but always knew what the time was and when I made a post you could tell it was me by my unique avatar. Forcing me to post a bunch of messages before I can change these things back to what they already were is like begging me to spam (or at least post low quality "me too" type posts just to get my count up so I can eventually make these edits. Craziness I tell you. Clearly not well thought out.

I'm a moderator at a large forum and I do understand about the spammers and spambots but preventing spam is not supposed to negatively effect the users; if it does the spammers win! Why don't you just force moderation for the first 3 or 5 posts of each new member? That way you can be sure that the member is real. There are so many other methods and if you care to discuss them feel free to PM or email me.

So, sorry about the rambling but would certainly appreciate a response.

Seth (fed up of his Maxthon always crashing!)
