Unable to View DebugBar / DebugBar forums

litlmike · 2008-12-06 01:11:13

I have been using DebugBar for about 1 year. I just reformatted and reinstalled my O/S and apps; however, after I installed DebugBar Version 5.1.1, nothing happens after I press the "DebugBar" button. It seems that I can use every other feature, like "Send WebPage by Email", "Color Picker", "Resize", "View Source", and "Spy". But, I cannot use the DebugBar. I looked in the forums, and Max had the same issue, but it was never resolved: http://www.my-debugbar.com/forum/t25-un … ugbar.html

Here are some screenshots, so you can see what is going on:
Here you can see that DebugBar is visible

Here you can see that I am able to press DebugBar, but nothing happens.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Did you solve your problem or do you still have it ?

I still have the problem! I really miss not having DebugBar to assist in my programming because it is such a great tool. I did a lot of research on similar issues, but I have not found a resolution. Any help you can provide would be great. Thanks

What is your OS and IE version ? Can you 3 debugbar add-ons in the list of IE add-ons (go to "Manage add-ons" menu). If so, are they all enabled ?

Thanks.

Thanks.

OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3
IE7 Build 7.0.5730.13
I can see 2 DebugBar Add-ons, not 3.

You should have 3 entries for DebugBar. You have only 2. The one missing is "DebugBar" with the type "Explorer Bar".
Did you install DebugBar with an admin user ? Are you using the same user then (that is the user that installed DebugBar" ? Can you try to install DebugBar again ?

Hi,

Can you check on the registry to see if the sidebar component is correctly installed ? :

1/ Open regedit
2/ Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
3/ then CLSID\{947E34E9-1D85-43CB-9CBF-5C492118FDD5}
4/ Under this key you should have some sub keys. Check if you have the same sub keys as in this screenshot :

IF this is correct, sidebar registration looks ok.
What you can do then is to clear IE cache for sidebars as explained in this article :

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;e … 8&y=12

It is still accurate with new IE versions. You will want to only remove the "Enum" entry of the "{00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" key.

Please tell me if this solving your issue.

It looks like it. I included some photos.

The entries listed in the KB article do not exist in my registry (photo included). However I searched for {00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} in my registry and 1 of the results has an 'Enum' folder. I deleted the 'Enum' folder, closed all browsers and tried DebugBar again. I have the same problem. Thanks again for the help, I hope we can resolive this issue. What do you suggest?

Any more suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Thanks

The entries listed in the KB article do not exist in my registry (photo included).

That's a problem : Do you have other add-ons having sidebars installed ? If so which ones ? are they working ?

litlmike · 2009-01-28 06:45:59

I have no other sidebars. Here is what my browser looks like:

fabrice · 2009-01-29 15:35:32

I don't know what's wrong here. It looks like there is a problem with the registry because there is no

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories\{00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Enum

key on your machine which is really strange. So I don't know what you could try to make it work. Maybe find another ie extension with a sidebar and try to install it to check if it is only a DebugBar problem or a more general IE problem.

Well... I just installed the IE Developer Toolbar and had the same issue as DebugBar. I downloaded this item:

Any suggestions? Thanks

So, this is related to IE install. I searched for IE Developer Toolbar problems and found this thread here :

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums … 8e46bbd50/

It says mainly to check these 3 options :

* Tools à Internet options à Security Tab à Local Intranet à Custom Level à Run ActiveX Control or PlugIn (Administrator Mode)

* Tools à Internet Options à Programs à Manage add-ons à IE Developer Toolbar BHO à Enable
* Tools à Internet Options à Advanced à Enable third party browser-extensions (requires restart)
