I have this problem in IE. I do not have the problem in Firefox.

For example, open My Safe Places. Go to Amazon. Now click the back button. Nothing happens.

I've attached a screen shot with the back button that does not work in IE.

For example, go to My Safe Places. Click on Amazon. Now click the back button. Nothing happens. This is the same with all places in goAnywhere when using IE.

In the picture, I've circled the back button that is having problems.

Back button does not work in IE - does work in Firefox

In all of the screens (My Safe Place, My Open Place, My Safe Files, Feedback), the pressing the back button does not work in IE 7.0 5730.11 Windows XP SP2. Back does work in Firefox 2.0.0.14. This is not the main browser back button but the virtual window back button next to Home and Add a Place.

Problem with layout when recognizing new computer

I first logged in with IE 7.0.5730.11 on Windows XP SP3. Afterward, I logged in with Firefox 2.0.0.14 on the same Windows XP SP3 machine. After being asked my security questions, I was asked to name this new computer.

The layout of the page is broken. See attached screenshot.

Yes, logging out and back in does not fix the problem.

I also tried this with Firefox 2.0.0.14 with the same problem.

I'm using IE 7.0.5730.11 Windows XP SP3.

The only setting that works is to Accept All Cookies as you specified above. However, IE defaults to Medium security which blocks these 3rd party cookies. Going direct to Amazon in IE works because then it is a 1st party cookie. Firefox defaults to accept cookies from sites (with no distinction between 1st party and 3rd party cookies) which is why it works there.

The search does eventually go through but it takes over a minute and all windows hang during that time.

Cannot create URLs in My Open Files

When I go to My Open Places, the first message I get is:

User with username shawn_holmstead@symantec.com was not found

If I then click on the My Open Places navigation at the top, I get a text box and search bar and the message:

Your My Open Places is empty.
My Open Places is where you can store places from around the web that you want to access from goeveryWare. To add to your My Open Places click the 'Add More Places' link above.

When I go to "Add more places" I get:

An Unknown Error has Occured!

I am using Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11. Windows XP SP3.

It doesn't seem to be related to Clicking on My Open Place - results in Fatal error. I can open places in My Open Place just fine.

I am using Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11. Windows XP SP3.

Shawn replied on August 20, 2008 21:44 to the idea "Add the ability for users to enter their own URLs." in GoEverywhere:

How do you do that? I go to my open places, select "Add more places" and get:
An Unknown Error has Occured! Please close this window and try again.
I assume that could be where I add a URL.

If I search the only results are places suggested by others.

Is the idea for this to be a shared desktop area in my open places? Can some of the places be only for me?

goAnywere needs to emulate cookies to use websites

I logged into Amazon.com in My Safe Place. The first message presented is to enable cookies in my browser to continue. My browser does have cookies enabled, so it is the goEverywhere site that needs to emulate cookie support since it is emulating running the browser. I can't use Amazon.com without cookies.

Add the ability for users to enter their own URLs.

There is no where in the UI where a user can enter their own URLs. If you make me go through a suggestion process to suggest new URLs to add to my desktop, I will never use this product. This is supposed to be my desktop , not a shared desktop.
