Both of those links you posted work perfectly for me. Maybe the board is "self healing". Quote from: CBMatt on April 28, 2007, 11:49:33 AM

According to her Network Connections, the wireless connection is 54 Mbps and the local area connection is 100 Mbps.  Download speeds usually seem to range from 400 KB per second to 4 MB per second (I THINK).  Is this what you're inquiring about?

For some reason, everytime i click a link to sign in to check mail or to ebay(ex. comcast.net for email), IE bring up a page saying "Page cannot be displayed"...I've looked over this site and got some ideas to fix it but nothing has worked. All my settings and security is back to default and all other websites work. I can't think of what coud be the problem. Any ideas?The website http://www.comcast.net does not FUNCTION well after I blocked the cookie it wished to set. It continiously keeps loading and reporting that it is done.how do i know if i blocked a cookieWhat happens when you go to
http://www.comcast.net
and sign in with username & password?I can't even access that website, Fed. You MUST use Internet Explorer.

Telling how you have blocked a cookie depends on the type of browser you use and the configuration thereof.when i click "mail" at the top, a window pops up saying"Page cannot be displayed"http://www.comcastsupport.com/sdcxuser/asp/autosolutions2.aspstill no luckReset all your browser security & advanced settings to default.

Reset all your browser security & advanced settings to default.

Can you ping the sites concerned? cmd ping www.bbc.co.uk.....it should return packets.... or you could if you wish do this >http://www.theeldergeek.com/repair_ie6.htm

I THINK INTERNET Explorer users will be more interested in this...!

I keep getting my "blank" homepage hijacked by some SCREWY "seach assistant" cover page. It also makes it impossible to check my Yahoo account. Every time I run Spybot I get the same 2 registry key items showing up: "CoolWWWsearch.Leftovers" and "EffectiveBandToolbar" When I have Spybot deal with them the problem goes away for a little while, but returns shortly.

I also keep getting pop-ups, some of which turn into regular ads.  (Flowers, *censored* pills, ETC.)


Any suggestions?Download and run Microsoft's AntiSpyware.  It is excellent for removing the Adware that causes the Pop-ups.  It also has "Browser Restore" under advanced options which should take care of the hi-jacking.

Good Luck!:)Arokthis... If what has been suggested doesn't solve the issue ........ D/L hijackthis...... at http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

(sorry for my poor english...)

my browser history stopped adding new websites yesterday...
IM SURE i didnt do anything that might have caused this because it started to happen during something i do very often, and i didnt remove any files or anything...
the "days to keep pages in history" option is set to 999 as it was before, and nothing else seems to have changed...

however, i tried something and i think it might help: i removed one website from the history, and then entered another one... it then added the latter, but again could no longer add new websites... (one website removed - one website added)
i also tried this with 2 and 3 websites, and it seems to have a limit to the maximum number of websites which can be stored in the browser history...

so... is there such a limit?
and if there is, can i change it?Lemon Lime........ What operating system are you using ?
Which browser are you using ?
How many URLs do you have stored in your history ?
Are you sure it doesnt say 99 days and not 999 ?

Why dont you store your sites in favourites ?

let US know

dl65  Empty cache. It may be full.im using windows 98, internet explorer 6...

yes, im sure its 999, and i have like... millions of sites in my history which i dont keep in my favorites because i like them in the history...
i mean... i dont use them all, i just want a way of going back to them if i ever NEED to...

how do i empty the cache...?

(i had no internet for about a week... then i checked the history and the problem was gone!
but then after a few hours it stopped adding sites again...)IE>Tools>Internet Options.
The history file was never meant to be a bookmark file.
I have mine set on one day, I only need to know where I'm going, not where I've been.but i love my history! im deeply attached to it...
is there another way...? Quote

What happens larry if you refresh the page . on ie....chaos in london.....but we can handle it....family and friends ok ....larry and thanks for asking.....Do you have a firewall, spywarescanner or any other type of security related program that blocks (unwanted) content?I am running microsoft antispyware and spybot.See if disabeling either of these programs allows you to browse normally. Once disabeled, and it works, turn them on one by one to see which one causes the problem.

Reconfigure the scanner that causes the problem, should there be any.

Hi! I have a unique problem with Outlook Express (vers. 6) that even my cable company cannot figure out. I can receive messages OK, but when I go to REPLY or SEND some messages, I get an error saying "Message Cannot Be Send.  An Error has Occured."  There is no error number.  I can send some emails but not others.  I am using Windows XP on a 1-year old HP Computer.  Any help would be appreciated!!!Is this a problem that just started happening? Or has it always been there? If it's new, reinstalling OE might be a start (be sure to back up your messages, contacts, etc. before doing this). Odd that the error message isn't giving you more info.Thanks for your reply.  This problem just began about a week ago.  My cable provider also said that it's strange that the error message is not giving any more info.  Now, the $1000 question: how can I re-install ONLY Outlook Express without installing Internet Explorer too?That I'm not sure about - I use Outlook, not Outlook Express. Hopefully someone else can post the ANSWER for you. Good luck.So why have you posted twice frank!Just trying to help, Merl. You should try doing that sometime - instead of trying to write help for people when you can't string TOGETHER a sentence. Do you ever read your own posts, governor?videoholic...... Odd , usually if you can receive ,but can't send it suggests that perhaps ......there is something wrong with you mail account setup ......  
However before you go there ........do this....... If your O/S is XP ......turn off the system restore ......then reboot into SAFE mode and run a antvirus scan( make sure its a deep scan as opposed to a quick scan ) .....then run something like M/S antispyware Beta , Ad-Aware SE and SpyBot ......Remove anything found .......... NOW reboot back into NORMAL .......open Outlook Express .....click the tools button and select accounts .......... click mail tab and create a new mail account ( you will need the settings your ISP gave you to do this ) ....You can see the existing settings by clicking on the existing mail account .....by hi liting it and clicking on properties .....all the settings will be there ...........but if you have or had some SORT of pest visit you ....these settings may not be correct ..........

Once you have the new mail account created .....delete the old one .........   Now shutdown and restart your pc and see if the issue is still there ..........  If its clear .........turn back on the system restore feature .

Let us know how you make out

dl65  

Thanks for all the suggestions!  I did all that, and still nothing HELPED. I even reistalled OE 6 and IE 6, which I downloaded from Microsoft, and the problem is STILL there. It's getting even stranger...sometimes when I can't send a message, I change the title of the message by one letter, and the message will send OK!! This problem is not happening in Microsoft Outlook, so it's obviously a problem with Outlook Express ONLY.  Getting stranger and stranger......I don't really have a solution but a work around.  What you can do is install Mozilla thunderbird email client. It's easy to use and best of it's free. I use and i have no problems. You can download it from.
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/

There is also a good step by step guide here:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/

This will however find out if the problem is with your email client or your computer

Recheck the isp/cables setttings........is this right frank!Thanks for the reply.  I got Microsoft Outlook working and so far have had no problems sending any emails.  So I think that somehow my Outlook Express just got corrupted.  Funny that you mentioned Mozilla, because I use Firefox as my browser, it's SO much faster than IE!!  >>> Ray

I took your ADVICE and downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird, and so far it has been flawless. I've figured out how to make it look like I want, but have one question: when I hit REPLY to an email, how do I increase the font size of the reply?  The type is so small I can barely see it, and I can't find anywhere in the program to change the font in the Reply box!  thanks, Ray

WHEN I WRITE IN A NOTEPAD AN HTML DOCUMENT (COMPRISING OF IMAGES ALSO)

and then upload it to my site
ONLY THE TEXT PORTION IS SHOWN, NOT THE IMAGES.

How to correct this?

ThanksUpload the images as well?Hi Raptor

Actually I went to this site

http://www.le.ac.uk/cc/dsss/docs/w2ktour.shtml

and then right click to "view SOURCE"

The HTML code of the page opened in wordpad and i saved it to my computer as a .htm document and then upload it here:

http://www.geocities.com/rhnjswl/never.htm

But all that you can see is the images are not there.

That is most likely because the photos need to be uploaded as well. Otherwise the server can not find them.

I am running XP Home, and have done the SP2 update, but even before that, I cannot open more than one IE window - if clicking a link or purposely trying to open more than one IE window, it locks up, and says Not Responding (duh! Like I couldn't figure out it was STUCK!). If I need to open a link that will open in another window, I have to right-click, go to Properties, copy & paste the link into the current browser window, and sometimes that will work. A while back I got some info to try, and I keep coming back to the same error of some kind: there is a runtime error with Java. Also, I cannot get anymore Windows Updates, as it locks up at 55% each time. Any ideas out there? I'd sure appreciate it! I am somewhat of a novice, and am not real secure about diving into the registry, but I'm up to the challenge of trying to fix this - with proper guidance!BTW: Yes, I have ran SpyBot, Adaware, and have updated my NAV & ran that also. I have not and cannot get any Windows Updates, as it locks up before it finishes. I apologize, too - I see there is another similar post that I missed about this same problem. Newbies... yup, that's me!Maybe this?

You cannot open a new Internet Explorer window or nothing occurs after you click a linkMozilla FirefoxWell, I clicked on the posted link. Nothing happens, but after a short time - 30 sec's - minute or so - Not Responding shows up in the title bar, then an error message that the program has stopped responding. Also, I would consider Firefox, but this is on my son's PC that he will be taking soon. He is more familiar with IE, and is a pretty basic user, and does not want to change.
I managed to get to the link provided. I had been there before, but tried it again. In going down the list of fixes, when I do the Msjava.dll fix, I get this error message: "LoadLibrary("Msjava.dll) failed - This SPECIFIED module could not be found." Quote

Have you tried to reinstall Java?

This is just a WEIRD machine! Maybe it has gremlins...

Yes, they are called Microsoft programmers.  

I believe someone posted the same issue as you have, no fix was found if I recall correctly.

Try Mozilla Firefox.

If the problem is still not resolved, reinstall Internet Explorer. If you are using the version of Internet Explorer that is included with your operating system, reinstall or repair your operating system.

I had several links open and the pressed the tile or CASCADE button on the tool bar.   Since then when I open a link it will not open as maximised and I have to maximise each link page.   The main page OPENS as maximised.   What do I need to do to make all links open as maximised?Right click on the tool bar and change the option.This doesn't work.   The only OPTIONS are either cascade the windows or tile horizontally or vertically.   All I want is for all windows and links to open maximised so I don't have to maximise each new window (the first window opens maximised when I sign on).To increase or change the size, click on the Restore button, the middle one in the upper right hand corner of the toolbar.
Resize the window and then close the Internet ExplorerI tried this already but everytime I open a link it is not maximised.   I also tried maximising links, shutting down IE and rebooting but no success - the links sitll open small whereas before PRESSING the 'tile horizontal' setting on the toolbar they used to open maximised.
Does anybody know of any setting that can be changed to open all links as maximised?Don't know why you'd bother with browsing in different Windows.

Use Mozilla Firefox and ditch Internet EXPLORER all together.

The problem is, when I try to compose or reply to a messsage, the "cursor" does not show up in the text box at all!  does not let me type anything at all, although everything else, like the "smiley faces, tools, etc. bar" is there.

Hello !!
I feel a bit of a noob, well almost, lol. I've just installed windows xp home edition on my sons PC upstairs. It's connected via a wireless router from my PC downstairs. It was running on windows 98 and had no problems connecting to the internet but now iv'e installed XP i can't get onto the web. The pc is happy to say that we have a GOOD connection but every time i click on Internet Explorer, all i get is "Page can not be displayed" Iv'e tried searching for MSN and google but with no luck, have changed security settings, turned off my firewalls etc....... but with no luck, i'm sure that all it is will be one setting somewhere but i have failed to find it. can you help? as i'm getting fed up with him using mine and having to spend half an hour getting rid of spyware and adware lol.

Kind Regards,

WayneWayne, has it EVER worked on XP? Did you install the drivers for the wireless card/antenna? Is the software compatible? Try this... Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet Connections ->Network Connections... Find your connection, and double-click on it, and click on the support tab... Do you have An IP address? Next, go back to the General Tab... Are packets being sent/received?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Hi Flame,
Thanks for the help, can't beleive this is as stumped me.
The internet as not worked on XP on the PC upstairs as it was running on windows 98 upto yesterday. I installed the drivers but the driver was not digitally signed, but it said in the instructions leaflet for the wireless card that i had to force it to accept it anyway. I have Xp on the PC downstairs and it has no problem sending the signal through the router. The upstairs PC does have an ip address and packets are being sent and received, and the utility for the card shows that we have a connection and a signal is being received. I have tried opening IE but as i stated all i get is page can not be displayed and also when i try and sign into Hotmail, it states i have no connection  

Regards,

Waynecontol panel/internet options/connection tab
select "never dial connection" and "use lan" options.Also Wayne, in addition to what 2k dummy has said, look at the host computer... Is it allowing the computer upsatairs internet access, or is the upstairs computer not showing up at all?

no problem with ie 5.5? Quote

What do I do from there?

I'm having problems when trying to sign in to secure sites such as ofoto or my bank.  I get the standard "cannot find server" PAGE.  I've run spysweeper and Mcafee both ok and germ FREE.  I've GONE through the trouble shooting screen and have checked everything listed.  The problem exists in both the AOL browser and IE  I'm running explorer version 6.0.029.  One thing that is possibly related... I cannot run active X controls REGARDLESS of what security settings I use.  

Any thoughts??Well you need active X to run it. Also are you behind anything that messes up with your IP like security things? Firewall won't effect it im talking about privacy programs that messes with your IP if so then try disableing it then try it again. If that dont work then clear out your temps, cookies and restore default to all your web settings. It should work thenBlocking port 443 OUTBOUND with a firewall will, I believe, stop secure sites loading. If you use a rule based firewall such as Kerio check to see if this is the problem.

ActiveX does not have anything to do with the problem.

Perhaps this will help:

I was using opera and suddenly the web pages were not opening

so i closed the opera web browser

and then double click opera to open it again

but although trying MANY times to open it i COULD not open it

so i thought the
problem is in my browser so i removed it from my computer through "add remove program"

then i went to c:\program files\opera and delete the folder "opera" from there.

it went to recycle bin

Every time i wanted to CLEAR recycle bin

"can not delete opera. Access is denied

Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use."
Now obviously i am not using opera as i have already closed the window

[size=10]Hello,

I have been having trouble with my Internet Explorer, two problems bugging me like a pebble in my shoe.

I have been seeing random words being made into links. I've run Adaware and Norton Anti-Virus but neither are picking anything up. How can I fix this?

Since I received my computer, I was not being interupted by any pop-ups, but for some REASON, in the past two week, I have FOUND myself plagued with them. Why would this happen and how can I fix it?
In case any of this should matter, and I don't know if it will, I will type it out:

A few weeks ago, I accidentily deleted my cookies, and the connection I had set up was deleted (I have no idea why, but I was able to re-make it). Around the same time, these problems occured.

PLEASE help me!

Thank you,

I have three computers in my house that are connected to the internet, and my dads laptop, and my xbox, all hooked into the internet through the same modem, and because they are on the same modem, i should be able to save a FILE on one computer and open it on one of my other ones, but for some reason it wont let me

other example: i should be able to print on any of the 3 computers, but i can only print using the computer directly next to the printer

example 3: I downloaded XBC (Xbox Connect) for my computer, which should allow me to play certain xbox GAMES online, so i open up the program, and i try to join a room that has been hosted or i try to host a room, and it says that first XBC has to accept my xbox into the system and asks me to select a network adapter to allow it into the system, so a window pops up that should have a list of network adapters but instead is just blank white space, if i click "OK", it says that i DIDNT choose a network adapter and to choose one then try again, but i cant cus the window is blank


my mom says these problems are all related to i figure they can all be fixed at once, so if anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated


thanks in advanceAre you using a Router? You MAY be blocking ports required by your Xbox software.

You may also need to make the printer accessible for the other computers by creating accounts with privileges.All being connected through the same modem does not mean they are networked. It only means they share a connection. You must first create a network in order to share resources. Quote

now a days i cannot delete messeges from junk mails in my hotmail account. an error in the page is coming. even if i choose empty option it is not doing so. anybody can help.The messages should be removed after 30 days or so. They TAKE up no space.no, they r occupying the space.dratul...... Junk Email in hotmail is automatically deleted every 5 days .
So you are saying that it impossible to delete any email that are in your junk email folder .........  
When did this start ?
Are you sure you don't have a virus ?

this started 4-5 days back. i scanned my computer for virus, but my computer is free of viruses. this started happening when some particular junk mails started coming. Quote

How do you remove previously searched items on your computer. Right if I search for something it brings up previous search close to the word I am currently SEARCHING for.Try this:
www.javacoolsoftware.com/mrublaster.htmlClick on the blank search window on your home page, and a list of all your searches will display. Position your pouse pointer over the top item, and press and hold down the delete key.what do you mean by the blank search window on your homepage. i don't get itYou know that blank area where you type in the word or phrase you want to search? (I'm going to assume you use Google or YAHOO, but correct me if I'm WRONG). Well INSTEAD of typing something in it, just click on it with your mouse, and a list of all the previous searches you've done should appear.http://www.ccleaner.com
Everybody should have one.

Many of the sites I frequent every day have a "remember my login or PASSWORD" button, which I always check, but then next time I VISIT, I have to enter it all again. What can I do?
Any help appreciated.

I have 2 lap top computers running xp home, I use ie 6 on both recently I have been having a problem with both computers when using Ie, when I type an address in the address bar and hit ENTER or go, it just sets there for about 3 to 5 min. then goes to the required site, doesn't matter what site I type in, I have run several virus scans on both computers have reset to original settings have tried reloading Ie 6 from Microsoft, have run several spyware programs, have deleted all or any extra search bars "msn, yahoo ect.". If I click a link INSIDE a page it goes right away like it's supposed to, if I use a search bar off say MSN.com it goes right away. What the heck is wrong?

My COMPUTER crashed before and when I have switched it on again and gone on to internet my address toolbar has changed.  The address bar has shifted to the right hand side of the toolbar and on the left where it should be there is a Search the Web bar which I never use.  Whatever I try to do to try to customise this so I can remove this stupid bar just won't work.  I am used to my address bar being on the left and I just can't get it there.  

Any help would be appreciated.

cheers1. Use the System File Checker tool to scan all of the protected files on your computer: a.  Click Start, and then click Run.
b.  In the Open box, type sfc /scannow, and then click OK.

Note that you may be prompted for the Windows XP or Windows XP Service Pack 1 installation media
msoftfix.......providing that this> winxp with ie 6......use your virus/spyware programs,and rescan the system.....with system restore disable/and not net connected......deborah..... What operating system are you using ?
Can you remember what caused your computer to crash ?
Is this a laptop or desktop?

let us KNOW

dl65  Hi... i'm using windows 98 se.  was on internet and waiting for a page to open and my computer froze, so had to switch off at power and restart

cheersdeborah.....  Open IE .....up at the top click on the view BUTTON.....select toolbars and tell us what toolbars have a tick in front of them .

dl65  Hi there

The following have ticks by them:

Standard Buttons
Address
Lock Toolbars
Google

Links and Customise don't have ticks by them

Does this help?


Does this search bar come with Internet Explorer or has it been added later on?deborah.......   Have you tried removing the tick in front of "lock toolbars"  then DRAGGING  the  address box back over to the left .......where it was and then lock the toolbars again ?
BTW ....the search bar that you dont use ...is it the Google search bar ? ...if so just go up to view and select toolbars and remove the tick in front of google .

dl65  Raptor - I have never seen this search button before so I cannot answer your question.

DL65 - yes I have tried that and I have tried customising the toolbar bur you can only customise the one with icons on it.  

I've got a screen dump picture of the offending item but don't know how to send it to you guys

Cheers Quote

Raptor - I have never seen this search button before so I cannot answer your question.
 

I'm totally baffled by this

When I type anything in a BOX internet explorer, a box comes up below with my previously searched words or whatever I typed in before. For example if I'm on GOOGLE and I type an F, a LIST will come up with all the things I've searched begining with F. Is there any way to DELETE those searches or better yet disable the feature all together.http://www.ccleaner.comYou can UNTAG Autoline fill-in or whatever its called in English when using Internet Crapplorer.

Every time I try to "Open in new window" or the browser automatically opens a new page, the address bar is EMPTY and the page won't load. If I click STOP and reload, it works FINE. I run IE 6 SP1 on Win '98. I've tried resetting to default settings, and uninstalling/reinstalling the browser. Nothing fixes the problem. It all started when I tried Google Taskbar, and then uninstalled it. I've also tried re/un installing that. HELP!!!Have you been keeping up with Windows UPDATES?

No offense, Raptor, but you say the same thing to everyone. I'm alright with IE, thanks.

Some web pages have oversized text even though the View / Text Size is set to Smallest. My home page should typically be 2-3 pages long and is currently 12 pages. On another site, a single word uses most of the screen. Othe sites seem to be OK.



Have you scanned for viruses and Spyware? When did this start?

[glb]Flame[/glb]this might not be it but... click tools then internet options in internet explorer than click the advanced tab... i noticed a box saying expand alt text for images...
make sure this is off and try again...

hope this helps,

Hi. I'm having this same problem. Just started this afternoon. Checked and the box for expand ALT is unchecked. Scanning for Virus's tonight cause it's going to take over 4 hrs. according to Bitdefender. THe webpages I seem to be having problems with are craigslist, ebay, cnn looks normal but foxnews looks kinda strange, television without Pity, Snopes and Joker's Updates. While I scan anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks!!

Incident     Adware:adware/myway    
Status No Disinfected

I have emptied or deleted all files/folders that would place a web SITE in the drop down box. I still have several that show up when I begin to type in text. Any idea where they may be residing?

DanTry this... On that text box where they APPEAR, press the down arrow key, and put your mouse over the first entry that shows up... Press the delete key until all entries are gone... This should solve your problem  

[glb]Flame[/glb]The IE address bar will not LET me delete entries directly from the drop down box. I have had to clean favorites and history to remove entries. There are, however, entries that I can not remove. Are there other locations that the address bar pulls from?

DanYour favorites always stay as entries...

[glb]Flame[/glb]Try using a program such as Crap Cleaner Thanks Raptor. Good program, but it did not find the addresses. The addresses that I can not delete are placed in the drop down box when I type the first w for a web address. They are places that I did visit, but have not been added to favorites.

DanDid youtag all the relevant options in Crap Cleaner? It works fine here.Yeah I have this EXACT same problem, and ran CCleaner and Clean Up and it didn't have any effect

The addresses that are stuck in the address bar are all ones I've visited, not SAVED in my favourites, and it seems almost random how certain ones have got stuck in there and others havent.

Not doing any harm (well that i can see....) but would be good to be able to get rid of them!

Thanksanother thing....

i had similar prob to this about a yr ago, seem to remember someone told me was something to do with system reg but i can't remember how we fixed itTry the following instead:

1. Start
2. Settings
3. Control Panel
4. Internet Options
5. Remove Cookies, History and temporary files. (Tag Offline items as well)

Just yesterday my PC decieded that it didn't want to download any mpeg files from the net. It tells me that it is requesting new codec and then I get an error message "invalid class string". I have good antivirus and anti-spyware so it isn't because of that and I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player with no results. HELP
BG.You may be blocking Windows Media Player with a firewall.

I don't have a firewall installed.That's mistake number one so far.

Does this occur to all .MPEG files?

Have you removed Codecs?It appears to occur with all mpeg files. I have not removed codecs. How do I do that?
BGYou might want to try DOWNLOADING a codec pack such as DivXPlease educate me. Is downloading a codec pack like DIVX a way to remove all codecs? What function or solution will it perform or provide?
BGIT will install Codecs that you may need to watch .MPEG files and others.Raptor,
If I GO to DivX.com I only see a bundle pack that includes the DivX player which I already have and a DivX Pro codec. Is that what you are referring to?Raptor,
By the way, I love "It was the machines, Sarah"!I'll be back.

If you have allready tried installing DivX player (Which contains additional codecs) you can try restoring the computer to a point where the problem did not yet occur. It is not something I would try, but it might work.

When I go to open the DOS Command window it flashes for a second on the screen and then goes away. How to I get it to stay open?
BGDoes it do it in safe MODE? what happens if you TYPE in the run box commandI was going to the Start/Run buttons and it won't stay open. If I go All Programs/accessories/command prompt it stays open OK> Still don't know why I can't do it the first way anymore.
BGAre you trying to run COMMAND or CMD?
Check the properties (PATH) of the one that works.
OS?XP Home, I'll try your suggestions.
Thanks-BGBlookah...... If your using XP .......... click start then run and in the run box ........simply type cmd FOLLOWED by enter and the black box will be there with the command prompt

dl65  You might WANT to do a windows search for command.* and cmd.* and let us know what you find.

I am unable to access a couple of secure websites. I can access most secure site..just a couple are timing me out when I try to log-in. I AM able to access these sites with my log-in and password away from my computer, just not at home.

I have Norton Internet Security 2004 and have reconfigured it, disabled it and even uninstalled it...still no luck with these sites.

I have followed the steps in Microsoft Document 813444 ("How to toubleshoot situations where you cannot connect to SSL secured (128-Bit) Web sites by using Internet EXPLORER in Windows XP")...and 870700 and still no luck.

I have no known date to restore my computer to when this was working.

I am unable to access these site using Firefox.

I have DSL through Qwest/MSN (thinking of leaving that mess for other
REASONS ANYWAY).

I have run multilple SPYWARE scans (Lavasoft and Webroot) to no avail.

I have updated IE6 and Windows XP.

Run WinsockFix

Reregisted dll files.

Does anyone have any ideas???

Checked my hosts file.

Thanks for any HELP,

What firewall are you using?

Why can you not access these websites using Firefox?

Are you blocking their cookies or have you got Javascript disabled?I use Norton Internet Security 2004. I have reconfigured, disabled and uninstalled it with no luck accessing these sites.

I dont know why Firefox didn't work.  I'm not blocking cookies and jaascript is enabled.

What adress is being redirected to?When I open IE,  it always redirects to

10.25.8.233

Do any of the items in the list look unfamiliar to you?To be honest, none of it makes much sense,  so the answer is NO none of them look funny to me,   OR Yes all of them look funny to me.

I just have no idea.  Any look funny to you?

xp home IE6 ver 6.0.29 sp2
when i type a url in the address bar e.g. msn.com or www.msn.com it does not work for a very long time or just gets stuck but if i type http://www.msn.com it works normally. is there a preference key or a registry key turned off or something like that going on thanksFirstly, check out the options in
IE>Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Search from the Address Bar.

Browsers work on IP addresses not words.

Then REMEMBER that your browser checks your host FILE before anything else to see if the words you put in are in the hosts file as an IP address.

If it's not in your hosts file your browser checks the big hosts file in cyberspace to get the IP address.

(I guess somewhere in here it checks your restricted & trusted sites too)

Upon finding the IP address your browser then uses it to send a request to the site & then it's out of your hands.

Making sense so far I hope.  

Remembering that your browser checks your hosts file first you can by-pass everything else by putting entries directly into your hosts file that will point your browser to the correct IP address.

Hope this helps. Quote

I am trying to help a neighbour who, for reasons that are about to become obvious, cannot post the question himself.

He is using Windows XP(Home) and IE6, with an internal dial-up modem. His virus-checker is AVG and he is using the XP FIREWALL.

He is unable to use OE, because, an instant after he clicks Read Mail, the telephone-line is disconnected. He is unable to use IE for a period of more than a very few minutes, because yet again, without prompting from him, the line will be disconnected.

In IE Options, Connections, Settings, Advanced, he has un-ticked the Disconnect boxes: this has made no difference. He has also deleted Cookies, and Temporary Files, and has set maximum space allotted to such files to 50 mb. None of that has made any difference, either.

Another computer in the same house can carry out all these tasks without difficulty.

Any SUGGESTIONS about what might be wrong, and how he could put it right ?

Has this problem been present since the system was first setup or only a recent development?
I would advise them to disable XP Firewall and use Zonealarm instead anyway.

Have they tried a virus/spyware scan?I agree 100% !   Quote
