IE Open in New Window or Popup Links are Broken

Clicking on link that would normally bring up a popup gives javascript -- access denied.

Print Preview also fails with this error:
dialogArguments.__IE_PrintType is null or not an object.

Not sure how I got in this state. Disabled and then removed Google toolbar (popup blocker) -- not its fault.

MS KB article here.

OK - FIXED IT

turns out, it was a tweak in DCOMCNFG that I did a couple weeks back for work. Trying to get remote connection points working, and I remember now tweaking the default access security settings.

THANKS a TON to this guy's post on google groups.

Basically, in DCOMCNFG "default access permissions", I had only SYSTEM. So adding the Interactive account (along with administrators, IUSR_xxx, and IWAM_xxx while I was in there) -- fixed the problem!!

RemoteCentral.com has a bunch of them, but says that ANT button is "not supported".

Here is hope:

Printer driver that will "print" to PDF format from any Windows applicaiton.

Easy PDF: PDF Creation tool

ooops - the free one can NOT "print" to save as PDF from any app Free version is only a WYSIWYG editor that will save out as PDF.

OK, here is a truly free driver. Well at least that's what the linking page said - I haven't actually gone to get this one.

Splitter / Combiner / Filters

For use with video modulator in home video distribution.

First - a good overview of all the pieces to this puzzle.

So "low-pass" presumably means the filter allows anything below the rating. What about the high channels like cable modem (109) and digital channels in the 200-500 range?

Leviton Combiner (not sure of frequency range)

SmartHome "notch filter" (7822E) looks like it only blocks a range and allows channels to pass above.

WavePad is another WAV editor - thanks to Russ for this link.

Audacity will record from WAV out, but also includes editing features. Export as MP3, etc.

Find Audacity (from sourceforge) at Download.com

To export to MP3, need "freely available" lame_enc.dll
