      That's Fredo's plugins update checker...
      'From scratch' - means from the start with nothing there - a 'clean install'.
      Your IE/Outlook issues seem to be a separate issue with your Internet connectivity.
      Have you recently updated Internet-Explorer or changed any settings ?

        no, I did nothing. The Connection is fine because Google chrom works. Because the update checker does not even work I think there must be a problem wich is coherent somehow...

          Web-dialogs made in Ruby for Sketchup use the native web-browser - in the case of a PC it's Internet-Explorer.
          Have you tried downloading the latest version of IE from Microsoft and reinstalling it on your PC...

          You could also try reverting to an earlier version and see if that fixes the glitch...

            I seen some rare IE corruptions (possible by result of virus/troijan/adware.../act of god), result was non operating program that did use native web browser for IU (like SU2Thea).
            It's easy to test by creating a new user account (with fresh new account everything should be fine)... but I am not aware how to fix the issue.

              Have you checked to see if you have a restore point before the time you have the problem. If so, try to restore there and see if that helps. If not you can go back to where you are now. If you have automatic updates turned on you may want to disable until this can be sorted out.

                Don't think IE9 is compatible with Windows XP. He will have to use IE8

                    Select internet options , advanced tab and at the bottom of the screen is a reset button try that and see if it helps. That sets IE to the default condition.

                      Oops sorry I missed that. I see it is 64 bit. What SKU version do you have and did it work ok before or is it new? There have been some registery issues. Will have to see if I can find the post 😐

                          Could not find the registry issue by quick search. Will continue to look. Don't think it fits your case since SU8 was just not starting but you never know?
                          BTW SU M2 came out recently. SU runs as a 32 bit app on 64 bit machines. Have you checked to see if you did an automatic update recently. I don't think they rolled the version number but you can go to the extension and there is a new tab for plugin installs? If so try an correlate date on the SU file with your problem ❓

                            Hi
                            I follow this instruction:
                            http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/how-do-i-install-or-uninstall-internet-explorer-9
                            and now the Fredo's plugin update checker begins to work! But it does not stop now, it is frozen and does not stop searching and an error message is pop up, see images.
                            also the Thea Exporter works again!
                            Just downloading files still not working on IE9
                            IE9 is still installed but a previous version
                            Maybe I will deinstall it completely
                            Well my problems have to do with IE and not with SU, this is for sure!
                            Thanks folks for great support!!

                                  where is this tab? I use the newest SU 8 version and maybe the problems are since then!

                                      I am not sure, but I think the tab mentioned is the one pictured by Gaieus here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=41684&p=372689#p371745
                                      So you have XP 64 bit?

                                      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                        No I have Win7 64 bit

                                        I am happy that TheaExporter is working again, this was the most important thing I have to thank all of you for the friendly support. Maybe Microsoft make some updates and the rest is working also sometimes...

                                          Your Profile and your Signature say XP?
