Please fix the Yahoo hijack guys, it’s a small but annoying thing, when ever i start Dragon, this ■■■■ Yahoo startup page comes up, despite the fact i’ve completely changed this behaviour in the options. Also, i’ve downloaded and installed the 64bit Dragon setup, it’s listed as 32bit in Revo Uninstaller. Looks like Dragon can’t decide if it’s either 32bit or 64bit on it’s own.
straycat19, you can try this workaround (courtesy of Yigido):
Temporary fix
https://forums.comodo.com/help-cd/yahoo-page-t121742.0.html;msg876690#msg876690
Be forewarned that, at least on my machine (Win7 x64), this workaround works ONLY on the first instance of CD that is launched. Subsequent instances will open with Yahoo.com. Obviously needs a fix ASAP.
BTW, I’ve been able to install the x64 Build 147. YMMV.
Can you check in what folder Dragon is installed? In Program Files or Program Files (x86)?
FWIW, mine has always installed to Program Files (x86).
My google chrome 64 bit was put in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application”. That’s the way they did it when chrome 64 first showed up.
where can i find the v63.0.3239.108 distr to downgrade this version? it’s randomly unstable and crashes some important for me sites
I tested on Windows 10 Insider 17666 and Win 8.1 and on both the 64 bits version installs in the Program Files (x86). I guess that’s what Revo is reporting. I uninstalled 147 and reinstalled in the Program Files folder. That was easy enough.
Andrei. It seems that the 64 bits installer installs Dragon in Program Files (x86) instead of Program Files when using the off line installer with a previous version of Dragon already installed.
On Windows 7 it installed by default into Program Files for me.
Did you do a clean install or did you use the program updater?
I was using the off line installers on top of an existing installation. First I installed 146 and after that 147. In that scenario it will install the 64 bits version in Program Files (x86).
Clean install using the x64 bit installer from the OP.
Thank you. I was using the off line installers on top of an existing installation. I did not properly state that in my previous post. I have edited that post to prevent further confusion.
Did you guys run the off line installer to update or use the program updater?
I tried to install dragon 64 over dragon 32 .147. After download it wants me to config the setup for repair, uninstall or install portable version. What am i supposed to do now…
Build 147 is the 64 bits version so what you see is expected behaviour.
Thanks for this, however for historic reasons you should really allow visitors to these forums access to the information. Leaving the thread open, linking this thread to the thread I started. Asked if the release of this version resolved the issues? And then let me answer that directly in accordance to the issues that I raised. When I respond in a positive way THEN you put solved in the appendix of the thread title, you leave the correspondence and you post the last post on the thread as " Solved" and then you lock the thread. Openness is far more acceptable correlates to user trust and over all numbers of users of your product. That’s just how I would do things anyway? Merging a reported bug thread with a download announcement just makes you assume the issues are resolved?
I hope for your sake they are just all magically solved…I have another issue to add to the list but since I don’t have a bug thread anymore I will just leave it here if that’s alright with you guys?
Bug: Critical flaw. Comodo Browser will not play any flash content, it won’t play almost every news site videos? I think I am going to search for the previous versions and find one 3 versions old, turn the autoupdate off and live happy days. :-TD
Make of this post what you will
Seeing this quite often is a great new feature with the latest version 88) Sorry but not good. I am looking for an older working version and hopefully my databases aren’t upgraded to some version 1 newer than an older version browser can use? Yeah had that before and became very proficient at using diff tools again. Are the joys of decontaminating your profiles eh? Looking forward to this one…NOT

EricJH, I invoked the offline installer, which defaulted to Program Files (x86) like it always has. I have usually had the CD automatic update feature disabled as a personal preference.
Yes, this is what it did on my PC too. I used the offline-installer and upgraded a previous installation. I’m usually doing that all the time, since i check the new changes first before manually updating to make sure there isn’t something in it i don’t want after a auto-update, forcing me to revert back. The only way to not have it point to the old location is to make a clean install instead of an upgrade. Now Revo Uninstaller still reports it as 32bit but in Program Files instead. So not much has changed on this front.
Well I decided to do the inbuilt un-install reinstall part of the downgrade whilst retaining my profile. I downgraded this doesn’t work. So did a complete uninstall reinstall. The downgraded my browser version to 65.0.3325.146. I disabled internet then opened settings and disabled automatic updates. I re-enabled internet connection and attempted to repair the broken sync settings. This failed each and every time due to database version conflicts as I had expected?
Rather than stuff around I simply closed all instances of comodo, then I opened a Windows shadow copy of my appdata from last week, I copied that version and pasted it on the desktop. I renamed the corrupted settings appdata\comodo to appdata~comodo. I cut the restored settings folder from desktop and then pasted it in appdata in place of the old settings. I disabled internet again. I opened Comodo (it asked if I wanted to restore crashed tabs from last week which means it worked!) I navigated to settings and disabled automatic updates again. I enabled internet. I resigned into Comodo again happydays Version 65.0.3325.146 runs superb! Plays videos…OMFG it still launches spam Yahoo sites! ■■■■ it how far back does this sh!t go?
Ok well I am first going to attempt a really old profile restore and see if this rids the browser secondary yahoo spam? If not I will attempt an older older install and go from there?
We don’t close topics we rather leave them open. Only in rare cases we will close a topic

Merging a reported bug thread with a download announcement just makes you assume the issues are resolved?I merged your topic because it is a custom to allow people to respond to new releases in a fairly free manner without immediately asking them to file an official bug report and it will also allow direct communication with a developer. It’s a custom to do so but not written in stone.I hope for your sake they are just all magically solved…I have another issue to add to the list but since I don’t have a bug thread anymore I will just leave it here if that’s alright with you guys?
There are already a bug report and a help topic about the Yahoo page. So if you feel more comfortable to have your post merged with either one of them I will of course move and merge your post there.
