Hi,

Thank you for contacting Intuit Canada!

We have a fix for this issue and it is listed below.

Our goal is to respond to every e-mail within 48 hours. So far we have been meeting and exceeding this goal. If we do not respond to you within 48 hours then please send another e-mail but not before then just clogs up our e-mail boxes with unnecessary duplicates.

There is no way we can answer 200 e-mail with in minutes of them arriving in our e-mail box. TaxWiz support is handled by e-mail only. To keep costs low, and support free, we have decided to use only the most efficient method, which turned out to be e-mail support. Phone support is available with higher end products, such as QuickTax.

If you are getting a Script error within Taxwiz please do the ALL of the following and your issue will be resolved.

1) Update the scripting engine

For Internet Explorer on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB-95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en

This will download the latest scripting engine. Download, install, re-boot.

2. Try updating your Internet Explorer.

Click on 'Start' - 'Windows Update'. Follow instructions for the version of Windows you are
using and check for the available updates.
It is recommended that you download and install the 'Critical Updates'.
You may have also have set your computer to update automatically.

3. Delete your Cookies and Cashed files.

Once you have your Internet Explorer browser opened
Click on 'Tools' - 'Internet Options' in order to open the dialogue box.
In this dialogue box, click on 'Delete Cookies' and 'Delete Files'
Click on Apply and OK once completed.

4. Verify that Active Scripting, ActiveX, and Java are not blocked.

click on 'Start' - 'Settings' - 'Control Panel' - 'Internet Options'
or in IE, click on 'Tools' - 'Internet Options').
Under the 'Security' Tab click on 'Default Level' and then click on 'OK'.

***End Paste***

This worked for me, I did a bunch of the things listed but I think it was my locking down the security in Explorer that borked the TaxWiz software, since it uses Activex (bleh) :(

Self IP Checker

Need to quickly know the ip you are connecting from?

Bookmark this if you wish. :D

Did this with a simple script that I found at http://www.allscoop.com/phpcode.php

WannaBrowser

An excellent tool to test your .htaccess file and the mod_rewrite and how I was able to debug mine and verify that people couldn't hotlink my images. Also excellent to test http output from your site for whatever reason.

Bit Torrent and ERRNO13 Access Denied

Got this error from bit tornado this morning, didn't have a clue what it was. Googling the phrase "ERRNO 13 Access Denied" yielded the answer that one of the files I was attempting to download was corrupt or in use by another application (ie: another instance of the bit torrent client). It turned out in my case that the last partial file that was being downloaded somehow got corrupted. Deleting it and restarting the Bit Torrent client did the trick. I wish programmers would include this information in their error messages instead of these cryptic coded numbers that no one understands. (ever try to diagnose the cause of blue screen errors in windows? I'd bet a few ppl have gone postal over them) Why make something harder than it has to be?

Bit Tornado is a great client however not as fast as I think it should be but it has NO spyware, (as of the date of this post) unlike many file sharing clients that are riddled with malware. (Limewire or Kazza anyone?) Plus I'm not about to wade through dozens of spyware bundled clients just to find one with a higher download performance. Bittornado can be obtained here from the theshadow's official site. Be carefull obtaining it anywhere else as it could of been tampered with and bundled with spyware. Allways make sure when downloading something you know what it is and where it is from. :D

How Do I Stop Hotlinking and Bandwidth Theft?

You can stop people from hotlinking your files (and leeching your bandwidth) by creating an .htaccess file and adding the following lines to it:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([-a-z0-9]+\.)?yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ - [F,NC,L]

There are many variations of this scheme out there however I found many of them DID NOT WORK! For example the NC switch does not work with my host (I don't know why) I have filenames in upercase and I had to add JPE?G to the RewriteRule line:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([-a-z0-9]+\.)?dorkytutorial\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|JPE?G|png)$ - [F,NC,L]

I also tried other varitions of the above script where the user would be redirected to another file of some sort: (this came from http://underscorebleach.net/jotsheet/2004/11/stop-image-hotlinking-tutorial-htaccess-apache )

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !underscorebleach\.net [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !bloglines\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !search\?q=cache [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /view_image.shtml?/$1 [R,NC,L]


It worked fine except the redirecting to the view_image.shtml didn't work. Source for view_image.shtml can be found here. There is also PHP scripts that will do the job as well, but I didn't get into those.
