Subject: ChromeFrame : Error rendering pages from Google
I'm currently in the process of testing ChromeFrame for an education/
enterprise deployment, and am finidng a number of pages that will not
display correctly.

It is a 2003/XP environemnt with IE8 installed on the XP computers.

ChromeFrame is installed via the MSI, and controlled by GPO settings.

On the main out main docs.google.com the page does not completly load
(and has a "Loading..." sign at the top) and get the following errors

Thanks for the report Craig, we're looking into it.

Is this an instance of docs running on a custom domain? If so are you able
to reproduce this logging into the public docs.google.com using a gmail
account (if you have one handy)?

1) Yes it is running on a custom domain
2) Yes, I get a similar error when using a the public version.

(Errors copied below)

I've tried a number of things, clearing cache, disabling flash.  I've
tried an older veriosn of chromeframe (17.0.912.77) which gives the
same result, I seem to remember when I tried 912.77 this errors wasn't
happening (but I can't remember 100%)

If I unistall chromefarme, the error goes away.

Can you tell if Chrome Frame is loaded on the pages on which you see these
errors? (i.e. Is "About Chrome Frame" present in the context menu?)

Are other pages that use Chrome Frame, e.g. http://www.yahoo.com rendering
correctly in Chrome Frame?

On docs, the right-click may be disabled. Press ctrl-shift-i to bring up
the developer tools (if Chrome Frame is enabled - nothing will happen if it
is not).

I can't see an "About Chrome Frame" in any rightclick menu.  www.yahoo.com
seems to render correctly.

When I open a "presentation", I don't get the warning about using an
old browser.

The only place that specifically show chromeframe is in the error
message : "User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT
5.1; Trident/4.0; chromeframe/17.0.963.46;"

This is interesting. It suggests that while Chrome Frame is installed,
enabled and present in the user agent, it looks like it's not actually
taking over page rendering the way it is supposed to, which is a new one by
us. This explains the docs.google.com problem as docs is sending content
tailored for Chrome rendering and Chrome Frame isn't picking it up.

A few ideas:

1) Do you have any other Browser plugins installed that could be
conflicting with Chrome Frame? Could you send me a list of the ones you do
have?
2) Would you able to capture a fiddler trace of the traffic between your
browser and say http://www.yahoo.com. I'm mostly interested in seeing
whether the textual http response from yahoo does contain the meta tag
(conceivably if you had some kind of filtering proxy, it could have been
stripped out)?
3) We wrote a tool called Sawbuck <http://code.google.com/p/sawbuck/> that
can be used to capture detailed logging from Chrome Frame. The direct link
to download it is
here<http://code.google.com/p/sawbuck/downloads/detail?name=sawbuck-0.6.8....>.
If you could capture a verbose log from Chrome Frame starting at the time
you open IE and ending at the time http://www.yahoo.com loads, we might be
able to glean something from there.

Subject: Re: ChromeFrame : Error rendering pages from Google
Thanks for all your help with this!

It's allowed me to trace down - it is a GPO setting on our system that
has caused it.

Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/
Internet Explorer/Internet Control Panel/Advanced Page/Alllow third-
party browser extensions was set to disabled.

The description of this GPO setting is

"This policy setting allows you to manage whether Internet Explorer
will launch COM add-ons known as browser helper objects, such as
toolbars. Browser helper objects may contain flaws such as buffer
overruns which impact Internet Explorer's performance or stability.

If you enable this policy setting, Internet Explorer automatically
launches any browser helper objects that are installed on the user's
computer.

If you disable this policy setting, browser helper objects do not
launch.

If you do not configure this policy, Internet Explorer automatically
launches any browser helper objects that are installed on the user's
computer."

So, although everything was there, was enabled, when it came to
actually running it didn't, It's used to diabale things like the alot
tool bar for example, it doesn't generally cause other issues - so
flash, silverlight etc work correctly.
