Eeye - BLINK Beta 3.5 - Issues found today….

 

**********************************************************************

UPDATE: 10/20/07

This below issue has been solved with a work around posted on the Eeye - Forum and also will be permanently corrected with the release of the new 3.5 Stable Version in a few weeks.

**********************************************************************

So today I had major issues with Beta 3.5… so major in fact the only way to get net access again was to remove BLINK 3.5 - and reinstall 3.2 Stable - which of course I cannot find my license info for but will continue to look.. but at least it seems to have solved my connection issues…

So as I see it since I installed 3.5 I have had 3 instances of net connectivity loss….

This loss seems to occur when downloading emails with Outlook.

I will begin to download emails and then the loss will occur - Outlook will timeout then I will try to open IE or Firefox and it will give me the page cannot be displayed page.

Then I will need to restart and as soon as I get back up and running - I will have connectivity - then begin to re-download emails and bang offline again….

When it hangs in outlook and losses connection the following seems to be consistent. And please understand this was not just my Desktop - but also my laptop suffered from the same issues with the same results.. Thus I believe it to be directly related to Outlook or Email downloading or possibly even specific emails that I was happening to download today. One of these emails was a strange 26mb of what appears to be a Video sent from a friend - but the video was parsed into about 3 feet of code and was finally downloaded after I reinstalled Ver 3.2. This code parsing issue is a strange problem I have brought up on the forums with no real answers as of yet.

If this is a one time problem based on a 26mb file that somehow was converted to code by BLINK and locked it up or placed it in forever lock up - block out mode - then so be it but I know it cannot just be me that is having this type of issue.

EXAMPLE EMAIL CODE TO BE POSTED LATER TODAY AS AN EXAMPLE

Here are screenshots of errors received when the lockup occurred and also when I was trying to uninstall Beta 3.5 to revert to 3.2 to try to regain connectivity:

This happened when trying to restart BLINK 3.5 after disabling it to try to see if BLINK was blocking my net access.

This popped up when trying to uninstall 3.5 Beta.

I might have to place my evaluation on Beta 3.5 on hold for a bit till Tech can research this as I still require full use of my machine on a daily basis for work.

Hopefully someone here can shed some light on this and I can clear it up for readers of this review process ASAP.

I am sort of at a loss as to the specific issues but they are a major concern for me as a small business user…. thou I am totally aware it’s still a Beta release I would like to offer any assistance I can to help resolve it.
