I've downloaded and re-downloaded auctioneer several times and it wont work. In the addons part it always says dependency incompatible. The only thing that works okay is swatter.

Yep I deleted all the addons in the folder first, I had deleted them when they became outdated the first time. Although if I delete all the addons out of the folder, they still show up like they are still there when I log in WoW for some reason in the addon part.

Oh yea I am, I'll check if that will help or not.

It was Vista, and a common problem.

matt: Did you install in Program files?

More specifically, this problem commonly, though not always, occurs when WoW has been installed on Vista in the Program Files directory, User Account Control is on, and you haven't taken control of the WoW directory tree manually. Vista has some security features that WoW doesn't strictly obey in all cases, and it results in weirdness like this. If you're running on Vista but didn't install WoW in the Program files directory, or have turned off UAC, or have taken ownership of your WoW directory tree, you probably won't see this problem at all. The easiest solution of all of those is to not install WoW in the Program Files directory.

Turning UAC off is why you don't have this problem. A few features of UAC are what create the problem.

That said, while UAC can be irritating at times, there are a number of useful features, like registry shadowing to try to prevent any registry corruption, that you lose if you turn it off, just FYI.

Shadowing is done in the background without notification of the user. It's done when UAC is on and makes your registry more resistant to corruption, though you probably aren't aware of it. Nonetheless, this is beyond the scope of the post.

make sure that btm is not turned on. it will stay turned on even after you leave the AH. if you log out then it should turn off.

so it wants to do a full scan with out you pushing anything? it just does it on its own? if so that is strange. are you using advanced or classic? any swatter errors that you can find. type /swat show and see is there are any errors.

When i downloaded the addon i went on wow and it said the dependancy was missing for Enhtooltip and stubble. they are both in the folders for the addon and it still wont work

thx man

Steveoisanidiot,

That is great, glad you are up and running. Usually a simple mis-step causes the biggest pains!

on auctioneer it says stuff is worth like .93(each) wat is that equivilant to in wow money?

I deleted all the folders, reinstalled, same thing is happening. When I first open the AH, it automatically starts a complete scan, It states so. Then after that scan is done and complete, if I select lets say weapons, and click on browse, it starts a full complete scan again, I can log out of the AH, come back and the scan keeps continuing. I never had this problem with Auctioneer before, I have been using it for a few years. I am pretty baffled by it myself, and I miss using it. I am using the Classic version, as I do not care for the advanced myself.

Lexxy,

Think that you have BottomScanner active- that will keep reloading the last page of auctions, and possibly the first, check to be sure you turn BottomScanner off in AuctioneerAdvanced's options.

If you check that and it's disabled, and you still see the behaviour, then please post the SS as requested by Monsieur RockSlice.

Hope this helps,

Nikk

hopefully someone that uses classic on a daily basis can help here as i haven't used classic in over a year.

but why are the boxes marked? don't you have to do that manually in order for the scan to actually know what categories you want to scan?

As an update, If I uncheck all the boxes for the different categories with bottom scanner still turned off, it no longer automatically scans the AH. Although if I leaved any of them checked, and go to search something, it will scan whatever is checked.
