:cool2:This AM I spent 2 hrs with tech support trying to get my literature database, EndNote6, to synch wiht its online version. Nothing the EndNote folks tried worked .... EndNote 6 could not c0nnect to the web even though all my other apps do just fine.
The EndNote (Thompsen Reuters) suport insisted I must be running a proxy or have some problem with the firewall. They gave up saying I needed to get my admin to fix "the problem."
I called Xfintiy Support (Comcast extra fee tech support). The tech IMMEDIATELY knew the problem ... Apps launched within Metro (Modern) tiles use a form of internal proxy to isolate themselves. Sounds kooky? Another explanation is that Metro block programs from DLig add ons like Java. Either way , when I launched the SAME app from the Win 7 interface it worked fine!
I think this explains some other similar issues I have had when working in Apps launched from Modern Tiles. :yelling::yelling:
