Headline Viewer FAQ
- Is This Free, Shareware, or what?
This program is shareware; the registration fee (once it reaches version 1.0) will be $25. Registration will not be required until the program reaches version 1.0, sometime in the year 2005. Skin authors are eligible for free registration. - What about updates?
Check back here every couple of days. Also, the program will automatically check for upgrades every 48 hours (its a beta and it changes regularly). You can turn this feature off in the Settings page. If you do not want automatic updates, send email to support@headlineviewer.com and we will send you a message when ever a new version is ready. - What new features are planned for upcoming versions?

- I am getting script errors when I look at articles. Whatls that all about?
Script errors are usually a side effect of Headline Viewers popup blocking feature. They are caused when JavaScript in an article page tries to communicate with a popup window that Headline Viewer has blocked. Internet Explorer displays the window to let you know there has been a problem with the JavaScript on the page. Fortunately you can tell Internet Explorer not to display these errors. Just open Internet Explorer, go to Internet Options on the Tools menu and click on the Advanced tab. Then check the Disable script debugging option and uncheck the Display a notification about every script error option. See the picture below:
