Maxthon Script Error

If you’re running into script errors in Maxthon, especially when trying to view SWF or FLV files directly, you’re likely running into a limitation imposed by Microsoft on third-party browsers using IE’s engine.

I was asking Jeff about it tonight, as he was asking me to look at a new (forthcoming) build of Maxthon – and this is what he told me to do:

1. Open your Registry Editor
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ MAIN \ FeatureControl \ FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ_SCRIPT
3. If FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ_SCRIPT does not exist, you can create it as a new Key
4. Add a Dword and name it Maxthon.exe – with a default value of 0.
5. To confirm you’ve set this value properly, go ahead and export that particular portion of the Windows Registry and check it in Notepad: “Maxthon.exe”=dword:00000000 (as it would appear in the exported .REG file)

And if you don’t understand any of that, I’ve asked him to make this option a simple checkmark in the Advanced Options in the future – which he is very likely to do. Another new option that’s coming is a “Safe Mode,” which will automatically disable all your plugins after you crash (unless, of course, you turn off the safe mode feature).

You rely on your computer, and so do your customers. Keep your computers (and theirs!) running in near-perfect condition with the help of Optimize 3.0. Use it to get rid of unnecessary files and junk, clean out your registry, and even streamline boot times.
