rollers 4 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Hi, When I am using google chrome as a browser, any desktop alerts do not show. I have tested with the eicar test file, and they are being detected fine, but there is no alert showing on the desktop. This alert works fine when using internet explorer. I have been into advanced setup and set it to alert when in full screen mode, but this makes no difference. Any idea's ? I am running ESS 7, windows 8.1 ** sorry, title should read Alerts NOT showing when using Chrome...........my bad** Edited October 20, 2013 by rollers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollers 4 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Slight change to the above...........all three chrome alerts suddenly showed up together about 5 minutes later! Weird I know, explorer ones are instant. EDIT......it just did the no alert with internet explorer too. I will try a reboot and see what happens. When I installed 7 I did the over the top installation and after that upgraded to windows 8.1. So I have done an uninstall and cleaned out any remains before doing a fresh install of ESS 7 which seems to have done the trick so far. I will update if there are any changes. For the info of anyone else having the same problems. Edited October 20, 2013 by rollers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi 549 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks Rollers for posting and your update. So a clean reinstall solved your issue ? Let us know of any future troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollers 4 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yes, thanks. It seems the clean install has sorted it. Perhaps I will go for the clean install option when upgrading in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweX 871 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Perhaps I will go for the clean install option when upgrading in the future. Always have always will But if I upgrade from V7 build 302 to 305 or whatever I always do these from within the product as they are just minor changes/improvements for the most part. But from V7 to V8 then I would do a clean install yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
