CHM Files & IE7 1.0
October 29, 2008 at 7:38 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentTags: database, db, Development, Downloads, fix, microsoft, mouse, open source, security
So you downloaded a CHM help file but it refuses to open/work properly, you get a message that makes no sense “Navigation to the webpage was canceled”. This is an unfortunate result of a change in behavior that Microsoft made in an effort to plug security holes. Fortunately, the “fix” is pretty simple -: right-mouse-button click on the .chm file, then select ‘Properties’, and under the item that says ‘Security’, click on the ‘Unblock’ option and click ‘OK’. This will confirm to Microsoft that you really wanted to open this file (as if they didn’t already know!). The same procedure can also be used on other files if you get unwanted Security Warnings.
FH solution – use Firefox 
Our thanks to Rick, AKA RoboWizard, for this tip. Sorry we couldn’t link directly to your page, our DB didn’t like the composition of your link. Click on his “Grimoires” link folks, there’s lots more interesting stuff there!

The wizard interface guides you through choosing a background and the grayed image that will appear in 3D.

The Persistence of Vision Raytracer (POV-Ray) is a high-quality, totally free tool for creating stunning three-dimensional graphics. POV-Ray creates three-dimensional, photo-realistic images using a rendering technique called ray-tracing. It reads in a text file containing information describing the objects and lighting in a scene and generates an image of that scene from the view point of a camera also described in the text file. Ray-tracing is not a fast process by any means, but it produces very high quality images with realistic reflections, shading, perspective and other effects. Visit the POV-Ray Community to see some of the incredible images this program has been used to create. It is available in official versions for Windows, Mac OS/Mac OS X and i86 Linux. The source code is available for those wanting to do their own ports.
