What browser and OS did you use it on?<br /><br />As for Preview, that's working for me too (Chrome 27 with 3rd party cookies enabled). That's a Blogger thing, so I couldn't change that if I wanted to.Karl Horkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139771633694460841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187003149734873045.post-62593495858575712032013-02-22T16:19:28.658+01:002013-02-22T16:19:28.658+01:00This doesn't work anymore?

The FPUS runs every hour! via Scheduled Tasks, but it does nothing, sometimes it (or something) will add an entry to HKLM RunOnce, but that's only triggered on Reboot or Login or restarting explorer.exe...I want full-auto, no-Reboot flash updates.<br /><br />Flash is a very insecure piece of software, so it needs to stay updated -- or go away!<br /><br />To Karl: I don't think "Preview" is working...? (I click Preview & the entire form goes away & nothing else happens {thankfully, I always have what I typed in Notepad, so I didn't lose this msg}). "Publish" isn't seeming to work either??? *** sigh *** you need 3rd party cookies enabled?Flash Player Auto-Update don't work?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187003149734873045.post-86149507607035014092012-06-22T20:35:44.965+02:002012-06-22T20:35:44.965+02:00No worries, great that it can be of service!No worries, great that it can be of service!Karl Horkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139771633694460841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187003149734873045.post-70013710594023284802012-06-22T20:32:55.914+02:002012-06-22T20:32:55.914+02:00The File Not Found / unrecognized command error sh...The File Not Found / unrecognized command error should be fixed now.
